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 David Maeschen 1411 Windemere Lane, Tustin, CA 92780, 714.669.1404 http://www.aenlighten.com/ aenlighten@yahoo.com Research Physicist - Principal Software Engineer Scientific Investigation Mathematical Modeling Statistical Simulation Analysis and Design Research and Development Finance and Investment Software Engineering Object Oriented Analysis Project Management Internet Development Algorithms and Applications Network Protocols Windows, Linux, BSD, C/C++, VBA, Javascript, shell scripting, SQL, TCP/IP Experience: Principal Software Engineer, Ascendant Enlightenment, Tustin, CA 1995-2009 Software architecture, design, and engineering, finance and investment analysis. - Blogged on financial planning on ExemplarEExplorations.wordpress.com - Researched and modeled economic investmentt returns. - Analyzed investment policies and portfolioos, performed financial planning. - Developed annuity calculators, conducted ddiscounted cash flow analysis. - Designed and implemented RAID Performance Test Software.
