Dear Sir/Madam:
I'm writing to express my interest in joining Philips. I recently graduated with M.S. in computer science 
from Drexel University, USA. 

I offer strong background in the field of computer networking and
software development (in UNIX environment). I was employed as a
software engineer at Lockheed Martin Global Telecommunications (LMGT)
for a period of 18 months. My work experience at LMGT involved
developing a real-time software system (in C/C++) to be used in a
broadband communication system. This system, in addition to other
subsystems, included a subsystem for network protocol stack and IP
security. My work in this area has exposed me to numerous aspects of
network protocols, and in addition has strengthened my software
development skills. My job responsibilities also included supporting
the test and integration team to review the test procedures,
conducting tests and analyzing the test results for producing the test 
reports. My research project in school, as part of my M.S program was
in the area of providing guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) in
today's networks, which is critical from the performance point of
view. This includes experience in performing simulations in Java and
C++ and doing the analysis.  

Enclosed please find my detailed resume. I hope to learn more about
your firm's plans and goals and how I might contribute to its
success. In the meantime, if you have any questions I can be reached
at the contact information cited above.


Sincerely,


Ms. Alpa Parekh
