PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE SKILLS:

 

Can Use Windows'95, Windows'98, Internet Explorer 5, Windows Explorer, Word 2000, Excel 2000, Access 2000, PowerPoint 2000, Visio 2000, Outlook Express 5, Lotus Word Pro 97, WordPerfect 6.1, Paint Shop Pro 5, P-cad 2000 and MultiSim schematic capture, Altera MAX+plus II VHDL simulator, Visual Basic 6, Visual C++ 6 and electronics lab equipment.  I am a touch typist.

 

RECENT SELF-EMPLOYMENT PROJECTS:

 

• Presently, designing, schematic capturing, building, testing and doing PCB layout on a 20 MHz function generator, a 100 MHz frequency counter, a 10 MHz spectrum analyzer and an FM radio that picks up TV stations. The last three projects use the PIC16F877 microcontroller for keypad, dot matrix LCD display, digital pots, RS232 and frequency counter.  The first three projects would allow hobbyists to assemble this test equipment cheaper that buying comparable equipment.
• Designed, built, tested and did a report on SN Switch Card Circuit for JDS Uniphase.  Also did design of eight SN Switch Cards connected to a common bus with associate circuitry.  The SN is an optical switch.
• Software Developed from scratch Visual C++ program and Visual Basic program for autostereoscopic 3D image processing.

      See web site:  www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Forum/5794/Auto3DVid.htm  .

• Wrote help files for my brother's two computer games Collex and A1 Geo-Fit.

       See web site: www.ncf.ca/~dw809/a1collex.htm , www.ncf.ca/~ei699/a1geofit.htm .

§         Designed all three web sites mentioned above.

• Continually helped my brother with hardware design circuits in his employment with JDS Uniphase.  Specifically E-ISA backplane architecture, stepper motor circuitry for optical switch and the MAP (Multiple Application Platform)

RE:    Paul Treciokas,   B.Eng.  (Electrical)

 

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

            Paul Treciokas was employed by our Company from July 1985 to August 1988.  He worked on the development of a VHF Direction Finder, a complex instrument involving a new concept in direction finding.  He also worked on the designing of Air Traffic Control systems, customized for foreign buyers.  These systems included communication control electronics produced by our Company; the integration of VHF/UHF/HF radios; voice recording equipment; meteorological instrumentation; clock systems; etc., to produce and end result enabling an ATC Tower to operate.

 

            He was hired by the Department of Transport to work on the VHF DF systems that we were then producing for DOT.  He was away for about a year; we re-hired him in January 1990 and employed him until November 1990, again as a development engineer.  We released him in November 1990 owing to a shortage of work in his field.

 

            During the periods he was with us, he gained considerable experience in purchasing/sourcing activities involving electronics.

 

            Paul is a fine employee, industrious, honest and imaginative and I have no hesitation in recommending him for employment.

 

 

 

                                                                        Yours very truly,
