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.  I also completed certificates in management, marketing, 
and real estate, including finance and investments.  I am currently seeking a 
creative research position.  

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
