\vspace{.03in}

S.B. in Computer Science, June 1991.  Humanities concentration in
psychology.  Classes included lab courses in 3D computer graphics and
large-scale software development; thesis project was a software
package for real-time 3D graphics on a distributed computing network.
Also took a graphic design course at the Massachusetts College of Art,
Fall 1993.

% Shouldn't need to mention the mainstream courses.

Relevant Skills:  C, C++, UNIX, X Windows, Motif, UIM/X, HyperCard, HTML,
perl, Fortran, Common Lisp, and CM2 (data parallel) programming.

Development and maintenance of BBN/Probe, a data analysis software
package for engineers.  Currently implementing a Motif-based graphic
user interface for Probe; helped analyze user requirements, created
some of the initial designs, built prototypes for on-site user
testing, and helped implement the final product (to be shipped in
mid-January).

Designed and implemented a UNIX emulator of VMS indexed files.  Helped
port the original VMS product to numerous UNIX platforms, specifically
SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, and Ultrix; duties included adding
features to Probe, building an automated test suite for Probe, and
general maintenance.
