\f Self-Employed Contracts:

(Working from home).

(Working from my office in Widnes with the assistance of four staff.) \f Contracts of Employment:

Computer Operator on contract from M.D.A. (1989/90) This contract required input of N.W.W.A. Properties Survey Data into a P.C. database (Psion PC4).

Williamson Tech. Services: "P/T Technical Assistant" (1991) This contract required origination of data (from technical drawings) for input to the N.W.W.A. Properties Survey Database.

Denton Designs Ltd: "P.C. Games Programmer" (1993) This contract involved writing Assembly Language Sprite-print and Sprite-detection routines and a module for computer control of Sprites. \f Published Software: \fp

On 10/11/1991 Gemini Shareware published a 2-disk set of tutorials and utilites supporting the Borland database product Paradox 3.0. The tutorials were writen using the Paradox Application Language (P.A.L.). The utilities were written in C using the Paradox Engine. The main programme extracted Scientific data from Paradox tables for plotting or printing in graphics mode. I have also submitted a Paradox Engine PCX Image Database to the P.D.S.L. software library. \f Membership of Professional Bodies:

\f Software Technology Retraining Programme: (Summer 1993)

I attended a series of short courses which included Unix, C, C++, Software Engineering, Unix Resources and X Windows. Each Unit consisted of a week of lectures and practicals and a project week. The course was run by the Department of Computer Science at Liverpool University.

\" A few lines using Italic emphasis... \" \f Published Articles for the Association of C and C++ Users:

(1)
Calling the Paradox\f Database Engine from C
(2)
Incorporating .PCX Format Image files in Paradox\f Tables.
(3)
Using the Genus GX Graphics Toolkit\f to dissect 8 bit PCX images.
(4)
Calling TASM routines from C programmes (part I)
(5)
Calling TASM routines from C programmes (part II)
(6)
Name Mangling TASM\f routines for use with C++ (OOP) Classes.
(7)
Simulating Artificial Intelligence in Assembly Language Games Programming.
(8)
Animating simple sprite print on a P.C. using TASM and C++.
(9)
Reviews of the Genus PCX Toolkit, GX Graphics\f and GX Games.
(10)
Using the HP-UX Remote Procedure Calls Library on a Local Area Network.

\" Some free text \" Interests and Hobbies:

I have supported the development and growth of the C Users Group (Association of C and C++ Users) in the last two years with articles introducing new users to various aspects of programming on a P.C. I intend to do a series on Xlib, Xt and Motif later this year.

At this time I am participating (with several more experienced members of CUG) and reporting on an online conference on C++ Classes for TCP/IP.

I am also interested in upgrading and repairing P.C.'s, and enjoy Post-Romantic Classics, particularly Sibelius and Bruch and I regularly go to see Operas and Concerts. I have a Purple Sash in Hung-gar Kung Fu from Buckley Kung Fu Assoc. I like to go walking in the Welsh countryside occasionally.

The I.N.C.A. Standard:

The I.N.C.A. contract standard suggests that a Self-assessment can be a a valuable guide for employers. This is presented in the following table. the standard assumes that Grade 5 and over in any product indicates an ability to give technical support for that product.

Summary:

I have a good knowledge of a wide range of MSDOS and PC products (languages, development packages). I have extensive experience in programming MSDOS Interrupts in C and assembler. I have some knowledge of OOP (Object Oriented Programming) and interprocess communication in the context of P.C. Windows and Unix X Windows (Motif) environments.

Through my involvement with the Association of C and C++ Users I have quite substantial experience in presenting technical information to novice users. I have also assisted with the teaching of a short course on "X Windows for Industry".

At present I am an Honorary Research Assistant at the Univeristy. I am working as a member of a small team devloping a client - server signalling system using XWindows and the HP-UX R.P.C. library.

This document was produced using the Unix pic and xdit utilities.
