Research Summary My Master's research includes development of a query by content

database system for still images using Visual C++ on a Windows NT

environment. Unlike traditional Content Based retrieval systems,

this software allows the user to choose rotationally and positionally

invariant properties of an image in order to more generalize a given

search. My research focused on ways to improve match rates and match

accuracy in order to make it easier for a user to track down the proper

item in the database.

Professional Summary Proven professional with extensive skill in Software Engineering and

team management. Motivated leader with business experience and a

background in both computer engineering and economics. I have spent

many years doing extensive programming as well as managing groups of

programmers. I have been responsible for the streamlining of corporate

operations through information technology and have extensive marketing

and design skills.
