[I have posted this with a distribution of "usa", but would not be opposed to sufficiently interesting opportunities in other countries... }-) ] Hello, netters... I graduated in August with my B.S.E. in Computer Engineering from this fine engineering college here in Ann Arbor. I have been employed in varying levels from 50% to full-time in the College of LS&A, Dean's Office/Office of Information Systems for the past 3 years, and was a system programmer and consultant in the UM Computing Center before that. The past few years have seen my time split between LS&A central administration, the Computing Center, and contracted system administration duties in various departments throughout the liberal arts College. Anyway, while I've gained a tremendous amount of system administration experience, I'm really a system programmer at heart, and I'm beginning to grow a bit restless in my current position. If you know of any interesting positions available, please drop me a line. To give you a little more background, some of my past work includes debugging of NFS in the Mt Xinu Vax BSD 4.3 kernel, work with Ciprico SCSI device drivers on Sun-3 VMEbus systems, optimizing an X11 server for Apollo DOMAIN, plus many application level projects. These include porting ARC 5.21 from MS-DOS to BSD and Sys V Unix, work with C-Kermit on Unix, porting the KA9Q TCP/IP package to Atari ST, and others. I have been programming in C for over 5 years now, and also have extensive experience with 68000, MIPS, SPARC, IBM 370, and 8086 assembly languages. I am familiar with many operating systems and TCP/IP networking options for most of them, including VAX VMS, MSDOS, MacOS, and some other more obscure systems. I have working knowledge of how to get these heterogeneous systems talking to each other. My preferences are for Unix-based work in a well-connected networking environment. I also have a preference for Atari STs as primary workstations. However, I have used Suns, Apollos, DECstations, and NeXT systems and can manage all of them if necessary. This posting is getting a bit lengthy, so I'll stop here. Please e-mail responses, a formal resume is available on request. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan Flame all you want - we'll take more.
