I'm about to graduate with a master's in CS this semester, so, of
course, I've been browsing job recs and posting resumes.  But I don't
look forward to working in a large, large company again.  Other than
word of mouth, where do I find job recs from small businesses?

My word-of-mouth pitch is enclosed. :)

<h2>Career Objective:</h2>

To work on fascinating projects with full autonomy. I would like
to work either as an independant or as a consultant on a small,
agile team, and to drive some neat projects to completion. Pure
software projects or business solutions are currently my interests,
however given the time and opportunity I am capable of handling any
engineering project.

BS in Computer Science, minor in business; 1997</li>

<li>Arizona State University<br>

(Includes coursework in Artificial Intelligence, Autonamous Agents,
Neural Networks, Data Mining, Semantic Web, OS internals, Compiler
Design.)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Work Experience:</h2>

<dl>
<dt>1997-1999</dt>

<dd>
Honeywell: Software Engineer. I maintained and tested code on
real-time embedded systems for autopilot flight control systems for
small business and commuter jets such as Lear, Embraer, and
Gulfstream.
</dd>

<h2>Technical Skills:</h2>

<dl>
<dt>Operating Systems and Hardware:</dt>

<dd>
I acquired my BS degree programming in a UNIX environment very
similar to the Athena Project. This lab included Sparc, DEC,
Silicon Graphics machines including Indys, an ONYX, and a Cray
Supercomputer. My real-time embedded systems experience at
Honeywell exposed me to customized Intel and Z80 processors. I've
also programmed in Apple ][+, pre-PowerPC era Macintosh, and x86
systems. I have briefly touched the Visual Studio environment here
and there. My home system is a single 686 with a swappable hard
drive, it tries to be a Win98 system half the time and a Debian/GNU
Linux system the remainder of the time.
</dd>

<dt>Languages:</dt>

<dd>
I'm most competent in C and C++ plus scripting languages in a
UNIX environment. I have worked with many languages including
assembly in x86, 680xx, and VAX, Apple ][+ BASIC, FORTRAN, HTML,
Java, Lex/Yacc, LISP, Maple, MATLAB, OpenGL, PASCAL, PERL, SQL.
</dd>
</dl>

<h2>Communication Skills:</h2>

I am quite effective at communication in general, both written
and spoken. I am comfortable speaking in front of groups of people.
My native language is English, I am familiar with and can hold
conversation in Spanish and Polish.

<h2>Personal Interests:</h2>

Try not to get into conversations with me regarding societal
policy, you may not be able to loose me for the rest of the day.
Other interests outside of computers include: firearms, especially
practical tactical shooting; and video games, especially
development as a hobby (I have learned and have been keeping track
of the video game industry business models and trends since 2001. I
have not completed any video game projects yet, but look forward to
doing so someday.)
