Ascendant Enlightenment http://www.geocities.com/aenlighten/ aenlighten@yahoo.com 1411 Windemere Lane Tustin, CA 92780 714.669.1404 1 May 2006 Dear Sir: I have extensive expertise in software development and engineering, including a decade of experience in defense and scientific research, a decade in computer peripheral software, device drivers, and embedded firmware, and half a decade in enterprise and system administration software. I have wide experience in operating systems and shells, languages and scripts, tools and applications, and analysis and modeling. Recently, I completed certificates in management, marketing, and real estate, including finance and investments. I am currently seeking a position in Orange County. The last decade has been equally divided between Unix and Windows, largely with C++ but including most languages on most platforms. Recently I developed systems administration software using network and internet technologies from packets and protocols to server pages, scripting, and databases. Previously I developed printer software, device drivers, and firmware. Before this, I analyzed electromagnetics at all frequencies, including scattering, sensors, and systems, and earlier still I worked in acoustics, hydrodynamics, and physical oceanography. These positions included analysis, modeling, simulation, and visualization, as well as presentations, proposals, specifications, reports, and project management. My resume shows what I have done but not what I can do, which is unlimited. I am now ready for new challenges. A physics and mathematics background provides me with an adaptability for diverse tasks. I am abstract, analytical, creative, and achievement oriented. I excel at identifying opportunities, researching technologies, analyzing strategies, evaluating ideas, and developing solutions. I enjoy learning and have interests in cognitive science, natural language processing, computer languages, multithreading, multiprocessing, distributed fault tolerant real time systems, and network and internet technologies. Let's discuss how I might fulfill your needs. Yours truly, David Maeschen David Michael Maeschen 1411 Windemere Lane, Tustin, CA 92780, 714.669.1404 http://www.geocities.com/aenlighten/ aenlighten@yahoo.com Physicist - Principal Software Engineer - Software Architect Scientific Investigation Mathematical Modeling Financial Planning Analysis and Design Research and Development Investment Analysis Software Engineering Object Oriented Analysis Project Management Internet Development Network Applications Network Protocols Database Design Device Drivers Embedded Firmware Experience: Principal Software Engineer, Ascendant Enlightenment, Tustin, CA 1995-2006 Software architecture, design, and engineering, finance and investment analysis. - Researched and modeled investment returns.. - Analyzed investment policies and portfolioos, performed financial planning. - Developed annuity calculators, conducted ddiscounted cash flow analysis. - Studied Java2, J2EE, RMI, JDBC, JNDI, LDAPP, XML, XSLT, JSP, EJB, and JMS. - Designed and implemented RAID Performance Test Software. - Studied open fault tolerant real-time systtem analysis, design, and specification. - Studied cryptography, communications, netwworking, and distributed systems.
