Dear Sir/Madam,

        I have recently completed the requirements for my M.S.in Computer 
Science and Engineering at Auburn University.   I am a highly motivated young 
individual seeking a challenging job in the area of GUI development.  In the past
two years, I have worked on several projects developing applications both in 
C and C++ in the UNIX workstation environment.

	I have had experience in developing a GUI front end to the Intel 
Coporation's Interactive Parallel Debugger (IPD), as part of an Intel Contract.
The GUI was based on the X window System, utilizing the Xt Intrinsics 
toolkit and the OSF/MOTIF widget set.  The software has been officially released 
last week and is expected to be released by intel as a commercial product in 
the next few months.  This project has given me an opportunity to work with a 
team of six individuals (three graduate assistants and three faculty members).

	I have also developed a graphical tool that helps parallel programmers 
in specifying data distribution patterns, as part of my thesis.  The tool has 
been developed in C++, using the MOTIF widget set.

	Given a chance, I would like to discuss my career plans and demonstrate 
the programs I have developed.  I am sure the programs compare on par, if not 
better, with the programs developed in the industry.

	I will be looking forward to demonstrating my skills.   I appreciate 
your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Prasanna Kondapaneni

OBJECTIVE  
    To pursue a challenging career in software development with emphasis on
    Graphical User Interface design and development in a progressive organization.

EDUCATION    

10/90 - 08/92     
    M. S. in  Computer Science and Engineering, GPA: 3.8/4.0. 
    Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849.
    THESIS: "A Visual Programming Tool for Fortran D programming," directed by 
    Dr. Cherri M. Pancake.  Developed a graphical tool (using Xt, MOTIF and C++) 
    that aids parallel programmers in specifying data access patterns.  This tool 
    will complement a compiler and programming environment being developed at 
    Rice University for Fortran D, which adds a set of extensions to Fortran to 
    create a deterministic and portable parallel programming language for 
    distributed memory multiprocessors.
    COURSE WORK:  
        o    User Interface Design 
        o    Object Oriented Programming using C++ & Motif
        o    Computer Graphics (Phigs)
        o    Design Issues in Computer Architecture
        o    Specification and Validation of Computer Protocols
        o    Expert Systems
        o    Parallel Processing

12/85 - 06/89      
    B. S. in Mechanical Engineering, First Class. 
    S. V. Regional College of Engineering and Technology, Surat, India.        

EXPERIENCE

10/91 - Present    
    Graduate Research Assistant
    Computer Science and Engineering, Auburn University.
        o    Contract work (for Intel Supercomputer Systems Division) to develop 
             a graphical user interface (GUI) for the Intel Parallel Debugger 
             (IPD) for Intel iPSC/2 and iPSC/860 hypercube systems.
        o    Designed and implemented a general purpose communications module for 
             GUIs that is useful in a variety of distributed, heterogeneous 
             environments.  The program includes a virtual terminal that helps
             in monitoring and debugging communications between the user 
             interface and the back-end tool.
        o    Designed and implemented processor visualization portions of the GUI.
        o    Developed both C and C++ versions of the above implementations.
        o    Responsible for integration of several phases of the GUI.
        o    Organized a tutorial for project personnel (faculty and graduate 
             students) on the system commands and system calls of the 
             aforementioned machines.
        o    Gathered and archived a test suite of hypercube application 
             programs.
        o    Responsible for system administration of the project's iPSC/860
