Dear madam / sir
I acquired my Master of Science degree IN Computer
------------------------ --------
Science at the University of Kentucky, with a graduate gpa
------- -------------------------- ------------
of 3.72/4 and an overall gpa of 3.66/4. I wish to join your
--------- ----------------------
firm in a demanding entry level position in
-----------------------------------------
systems/application programming, with many learning
------------------------------------------------------------
situations. I am a proficient computer programmer and a
----------- ---------------------------------
self starter. I learn well on my own, and work well in a
------------- ---------- ----------
group. My areas of interest include the UNIX operating
------ ----
system, in which I also know the Bourne and "C" shells, and
---------------------
"C"-language programming.
-------------------------
I have accomplished many systems and general
-------------------------------------------
programming projects, including a translator for an expert
----------------------
systems language, a VLSI channel routing algorithm, and many
GKS graphics programs. I have taken coursework that includes
Compilers, VLSI design, Geometric modelling (Graphics),
Advanced information processing, Numerical analysis,
Discrete computer math, Computer arithmetic, Theory of
computing and Programming languages, and audits in Operating
systems and Database management systems.
I have a lot of "C"-language programming experience,
---------------------------------
and also have vast experience in Pascal. In addition to the
UNIX operating system, I also have worked with the PRIMOS,
----
VM/CMS and MS/DOS operating systems. I also program well in
------------
FORTRAN, COBOL and BASIC, and can write programs in Ada,
-------------------------
Algol68, Assembler, CPL, GPSS/360, LISP, Pilot, Prolog. I
have used the Sequent/Balance, Vax11/750, Microvax II,
-------------------------------------------
Prime, IBM/3091 and 3081, ATT7300, IBM/PC, XT, AT, PS/II,
Apple, and numerous other pcs.
I am "similar" to outstanding computer programmers,
--------- -----------
based on the Strong-Campbell interest inventory. As an
additional note, I led the first team in the CPU/ACM
programming contest. I will mail you samples of my recent
---------
programming, and educational and other documents, as
------------
requested. I would like to discuss my mutually beneficial
employment at your convenience.
Thanking you.
Very truly yours,
GERARD DENGA
