Dear friends: Here's my resume. I'm an experienced and creative programmer looking for greener pastures than FORTRAN, PL/M, etc. I'm a relative novice as far as c and Unix go, so I'm willing to compromise in the salary department (I'd rather have a low-salary Unix job using a Sun workstation than a guru job on an Intel Blue Box). I live in the South end, and so I'd prefer not to go across the bridges each day. ************************ cut here ******************************* Kurt Cockrum 10015 2nd. Ave. S. Seattle WA 98168 (206)762-6417 {known-space}!uw-beaver!tikal!sunup!kurt objective: I'm looking for a challenging software development po- sition with a progressive company located in the Seat- tle area. special interests: Realtime programming, LISP, Smalltalk, Unix, C language, graphics, user interface memberships: Association for Computing Machinery, Seattle Unix User Group education: 1973-1976: University of California at Riverside, Riverside, CA; Mathematics/computer science major. o Languages: FORTRAN, LISP, APL, PL/I, COBOL, 360 Assem- bler, JCL o Student consultant: Wrote several disk maintenance (SVC19MOD, PROFILE) and debugging (TRACE) utilities for IBM OS/360/MVT installation. SVC19MOD main- tained a use count in an unused part of the directory entry for each disk file. PROFILE collected and reinitialized the use counts and generated a report. TRACE was an intel- ligent in-line assembly-language macro that gave a TRUE (i. e. user-transparent and unaf- fected by TRACE itself) dump of all 360 re- gisters at the invocation point to the system output (believe it or not, one from IBM did not exist). This was a boon to assembler language students. o Part-time application programmer (PL/I) at the UCR Computation Center. o Home-brewed an early 8080 machine from scratch. - 2 - education, cont'd: 1971-1973: Canada College, Redwood City, CA.; Mathematics up thru differential equations. 1965: Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, RCA Ser- vice Co, Riverton, NJ.; Heavy ground radar mainte- nance school. 1962: US Navy, Great Lakes, IL.; Communication Mainte- nance school. l961: US Navy, San Francisco, CA.; Electronics school. experience: 1984-1985: Software Engineer, Systematix Controls, Seattle; 242-3800. Software development using PL/M language for small embedded systems using 8088 microprocessors in a Multibus environment. Debugging & troubleshooting of software & hardware using an in-circuit emula- tor and oscilloscope. Typical accomplishments: o Designed, implemented software systems for the Model SX7820 wood pulp delignification controller, the Model SX7840 wood pulp brightness controller, and the Model SX7846 multi-stream brightness controller. o Organized corporate software archives; introduced rational procedures for management of Intel NDS-II local area network (regular backups of file server, keeping track of floppies, etc.) - 3 - experience, cont'd: 1983-1984: Scientific Analyst/Programmer, Spectra-Physics (nee Mathematical Sciences Northwest), Bellevue; 827-0460. As member of Computing Services Group, provided software services to community of energy research- ers using VAX/VMS and RT-11 systems. Typical accomplishments: o Design, implementation of real-time software system for the WINDVAN laser-based meteoro- logical data acquisition system for NOAA, us- ing RT-11 and a "Parallel PASCAL". o Modification of VAX/VMS RX02 floppy disk driver to handle double-density floppies. o Take-over of porting, debugging and system integration of WATSIM, a large hydraulic simulator written in FORTRAN, from VAX to a client's remotely located RSX-11M, saving employer's contract from default. 1980-1982: Senior Programmer, Higher Order Software, Cam- bridge, MA. As member of software support group at Transporta- tion Systems Center, a DOT research facility, designed, implemented, debugged software for vari- ous FAA and DOT projects on an RSX-11/IAS system (DEC). Languages were mainly FORTRAN & TECO (a powerful text editor - think of awk, grep & ex combined). Typical accomplishments: o Designed, implemented serial communication link between a PDP-11/70 and a 6502 micropro- cessor used as gateway to a polled network. o Analysis of graphic subsystem for Intel RMX-86 based transit scheduling and dispatch- ing system for a dial-a-ride application. o Wrote a magtape utility REDTAP in FORTRAN to extract files from "foreign" & "funny" tapes. REDTAP handled a variety of parities, densi- ties and blocksizes. 1978-1980: Part-time consultant, R. A. I. R., Mountain View, CA. Implemented "Software Tools" (Kernighan & Plauger, 1976) on a proprietary virtual machine running on an Alpha Microsystems host. - 4 - experience, cont'd: 1976-1978: Independent consulting, University of California at Riverside. Design, fabrication of custom interfaces. A seri- ally driven analog plotter controller was a par- ticularly successful item. 1971-1976: See "education" above. 1960-1970: Electronic technician in military, industry.

In <126@sunup.UUCP> DATA I/O is mentioned (not by me). Apparently postnews got confused somehow. I have no connection whatever with Data I/O in Redmond. They're WAY too far away!
