OBJECTIVE   Challenging short-term assignments on a contract or hourly
	    basis, preferably part-time or limited duration assignments.

SKILLS      Design and programming.  I like technically challenging areas
	    such as systems programming, language processing, and applied
	    mathematics.  I learn things well and do quality work quickly.
