"I believe that my greatest asset is not my knowledge or experience;

rather it is my attitude and approach to technical level work, and my

excitement at the challenge."

Objective

To find very technical level computer programming work in assembler or

machine language, for microcontrollers or microcomputers, either new

development or maintenance of existing code. Debugging is a specialty.
