Dear Sir or Madam


I expect to graduate with a Masters degree in Computer Science from the 
University of South Carolina in May. I am now in the process of 
searching for a new position preferably in the areas of software design
and development, system simulation and optimization. 

My educational background and work experience is delineated in the 
accompanying resume which includes a list of courses taken, projects 
completed and positions held. I have a strong interdisciplinary background 
in computer science, engineering and applied/computational mathematics. 
This background allows me to adapt fairly rapidly to "new" approaches in 
computer science, engineering and mathematics, which are so often closely 
interrelated. 

I have designed and implemented scientific (engineering) software in 
Fortran, system software in C, and have completed numerous projects in 
assembly language programming, compiler & loader design, database 
management, and computer graphics, system simulation and optimization.

I am currently working on a Masters project on the design and 
implementation of a graphical user interface for GNU smalltalk, a
public domain text-based smalltalk programming environment. The project
involves use of the public domain InterViews toolkit, a library of C++
classes that run on top of the X Windows system, to implement the GUI
for GNU smalltalk on a workstation system.

I have worked in research and academic settings and have experience of 
working on my own, in a team setting and in a supervised setting. I get 
along well with people and work with my colleagues constructively.


Sincerely,

Baback Nemazie

CPS Projects

Spring '91	Tool Based Compiler Design 
Compiler Design
Designed and implemented lex and yacc specification files for a "limited 
Pascal" compiler, which supports integer, real, and array data types, 
functions, lexical and syntactic errors, and generates the intermediate code 
from the source code.

Fall '89	Computer Graphics
Clip and Zoom Primitives
Designed and implemented Quick Basic code for line and point clip and zoom
primitives. The primitives were used in developing a program module for 
clipping and zooming parts of a 2D map of the world.

Fall '89	Database Management
Relational Database Projects
Completed assignments involving complicated queries using both (Informix) 
SQL and Quel query languages, views, report generation, design of forms, 
screen layout and prompts, as well as analysis of functional dependency for
relational database design.

Algorithms and Computational Complexity
Spring '88	Algorithms
Designed and implemented C code to evaluate performance of dynamic 
programming and branch and bound algorithms for the 0/1 knapsack 
problem.
