Dear Sir/Madam
I am an Adobe Certified Expert in Flash. I have used/taught Flash, Visual Basic.Net, C#, mySql, PHP, HTML, Photoshop and Basic networking at Renton Technical College from 2000 to 2008. I have also taught Flash at Bellevue Community College, the University of Washington and Edmonds Community College. I prefer to program in ActionScript 3, but I can also program in AS2 if necessary. During my last job and while I was an instructor I managed teams of people and projects. I am a developer not a designer, I can use Photoshop, but I don’t have the necessary artistic ability to be a good graphic designer.
In addition to my software and management skills, I am also a licensed Professional Engineer (electrical) specializing in digital design. I have over 30 years of experience with small companies to large corporations. While working for Boeing I’ve interfaced with Carco tables in the millimeter wave lab and wrote Fortran programs to help analyze data from the accelerometers on the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) program. I have extensive experience using PIC microcontrollers, but also am well versed in discreet logic design and have had some experience in DC motor control (h-bridge and PWM applications). I use assembly language and C as the programming languages in my microcontroller designs.
Thank you for considering me for a position
Sincerely
Kinsey Fobes, PE
