I have just completed a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at MIT, and am looking for a Software Engineering position on the West Coast, preferably northern California. I am particularly interested in doing design and development (or investigation) of integrated, easy-to-use software systems. It is important to me that I work for a company that emphasizes human factors and the user-computer interface in the design of products. I completed all the course work (everything but a Thesis) required for the degree in 1980, and have been working as a Software Engineer at GenRad in Concord (using UNIX and C) since then. My thesis, called "Integrated Computing Environments: The Control of Complexity in Powerful Systems," is an analysis of what factors make Integrated Environments successful. The systems I studied include Smalltalk-80 and Star from Xerox, Apple's Lisa, BB&N's Interlisp, the MIT LispMachines, and a system called Boxer that is being developed by the group at MIT that produced LOGO. The Thesis has been signed and turned in--I will graduate in June. I can be reached during the day at (617)369-4400 x2688, or at home at (617)646-3059.
