EXPERIENCE:

General Scanning, Inc. (Laser Systems Division)              Wilmington, MA
March 1998 -- current

As a software engineer in the memory repair group, I work as a part of a
small team to maintain, debug and extend the capabilities of the control
software for the M3xx family of laser memory repair machines.  The
programming tasks are diverse, ranging from redesigning portions of the
XView-based user interface, to development and porting for a 68040-based
real-time control system.  I also work on cleaning up and incorporating the
changes submitted by the applications engineers in the field.

MIT Information Systems (Distributed Computing and Network Services)
                                                                  Cambridge
February 1994 --- February 1998

Worked as a student developer in the Athena Software Service group
(formerly Development).  During the last two years, my primary tasks were
to maintain, debug, and/or design and write several client-server systems.
For a part of this time, this included maintenance and script development
for MIT's main World-Wide Web server.  Other tasks included upgrading and
integration of free and commercial third-party software into MIT's Athena
workstation environment.

MIT Information Systems (Computing Support Services)              Cambridge
February 1993 --- December 1995

Worked as a student consultant for Athena's On-Line Consulting system,
providing support to users of MIT-developed and third-party software
installed on MIT's public UNIX workstations.

Institut za fiziku Sveucilista u Zagrebu                    Zagreb, Croatia
Summer 1994

Worked on interpretation of thermal and electrical conductivity
measurements for `blue bronze'.  Results were published in _Synthetic
Metals_.

MIT Center for Space Research                                     Cambridge
February 1993 --- August 1993

Wrote parts of simulation and data analysis software for the MIT Faraday
cup solar wind experiment which is a part of the WIND satellite, launched
in November 1994.

EDUCATION:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology                         Cambridge, MA

Received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in February 1998.  The
work leading up to my thesis, _Quantum-mechanical return probability of a
wave packet and its relationship to classical periodic orbits_, involved
numerical simulation of quantum-mechanical and classical dynamical systems.

Mathematics and Computer Science High School                Zagreb, Croatia

Graduated in June 1991 among the top 1% in a class of 447 students.

MISCELLANEOUS:

Computing projects

I am a member of the Student Information Processing Board (SIPB), a
volunteer student computing organization at MIT.  With two other SIPB
members, I started www.mit.edu, the first World-Wide Web server at MIT.

I designed and wrote a WWW gateway server to provide Web access to a text
conferencing system named Discuss.  I have actively maintained several of
SIPB's server machines, running various UNIX variants.  I have extensive
experience in the use of C, PERL, source control and debugging tools on
UNIX platforms.

I currently contribute some of my free time to development and maintenance
of Perl 5.

Interests

I try to have fun in everything I do.  My free time is usually spent
playing role-playing and board games, hiking, using computers or reading.

Citizenship and visa status

I am a citizen of Croatia.  I am currently working in the United States
under an H-1B visa from my current employer.
