To whom it may concern:

Thank you for taking the time to read this. First I will talk a little bit about myself and then the types of work I am interested in.

My skills covers a broad range of disciplines in the computer and electronic arena. I have graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (May 1998), majoring in electrical engineering and minoring in computer science. I have a well rounded education in the complex field of hardware and software technologies. I figure you can not have just the hardware knowledge with out software and vice versa.

I have a passion for electronics. It is exciting how a box of wires and chips put together can bring joy to people. Many of my past personal projects reflects the enthusiasm of my interest in electronics and computers. Some of my current projects are more geared towards in making computers help out with manual tasks become much more easier to do.

As you read through my resume, you will see that I am experienced in many different skills and the work years to go with it. I like to have fun with what I am working on. But I also like to see what today's technologies can be pushed to.

Now, the kinds of work I AM looking for (position titles are meaningless): A challenging and fun project.

With my knowledge in hardware design, embedded systems is most likely my field of expertise. I am interested in starting from research and development; to learning the new technology; to implementing them. I enjoy working with advanced technologies that will enhance my skills. Coding projects and hardware design are my favorite areas. Projects requiring data acquisition (real world data input - manually or automatically), data display (GUI) and data communications (networking or other methods) are my primary interests.

Offers I am NOT looking for: Do not call me if the job is for a tech support monkey position, a lab (maintenance) baby sitter or a tester position (where the fun work has already been completed). But, if there are needs for solutions in designing the lab infrastructure or there are needs for designing new testing applications, then I "might" consider the offer.

Although I have written many web pages - I do not want a web master position either. Writting web pages are boring. But if you need someone to write cgi scripts or other server-side generated and client-side created pages, then I "might" consider the offer. Also, I do not want a (tech) documentation writting offer. Again, those are boring. I will only write documentation in the areas of the project that I have been involved with from the begining.

I can do all of the skills mentioned above. But like I said, I am looking for a challenging and fun project - not a borning and "been there, done that - a high school droppout can do it" task.

Do NOT contact me about joining your resume search engine either. All of those requests will be ignored.

Please DO include a description of the offer when you email me your enquery. Offers that are not specific will result in longer reply delays.

Thank you again for taking the time to read this letter.
Have a Nice Day!
