CLARIFICATIONS, follow
===============================================
REASON FOR WANTING TO LEAVE CURRENT EMPLOYER: -
| Overseas, the demand for
coin-operated payphones is decreasing. Card-operated phones are becoming
the norm. Not all, but many of ITC's high-volume
exportable-products focus on coin-operated phones.
|
| To make matters worse,
capital-spending in Telecom is way down all over the world. In
my current VP position compensation -for the most part- is
based on commission. |
| I operate from small office near
Miami. ITC's Software Development Team is in rural New London, MN.
I lived in St. Cloud, MN, when I worked up there. I would like to
avoid living on isolated, winter-frozen, rural towns. |
PROFESSIONAL GOAL: -
| Assignments in Software
Development (Java, Visual J++, Visual C++, JDBC , COM , or
Client/Server Database projects -preferably ORACLE),
either as full-time permanent employee or as freelance developer
under contract.
|
| I would also be open to
a Plant Managerial positions, in Manufacturing of
Telecommunications equipment, Testing, or Sales (International) of
electronic systems. |
| Domestic travel shall not exceed
30% (International 15%). However, long-term assignment overseas
with family relocation ( wife and 3-year old daughter) could be of my
interest (especially in Western Europe or Latin America). I
grew up in a fishing town. I like Florida, and would try to stay
in this State, however for the right opportunity I would relocate,
preferably in Southern US, or anywhere on the East Coast, or on the
Northwest Coast) |
==============
PRESENT EMPLOYER: -
| I am currently 'Vice
President of International Sales'. My employer is ITC, Independent
Technologies Inc. (Omaha, NE). We develop test-sets, systems and
upgrades for coin-operated payphones (Berry Test Sets in New
London, MN, and Wintel in Orlando, FL, are divisions of ITC).
|
| Working for ITC as Director
of Software, I developed for SPRINT during 1998-2000 an Oracle
Client/Server application in Visual C++ and ODBC (it
administers 50,000 payphone Contracts, and calculates Commissions
due on 60,000 of Sprint's payphones). It is called
"C&C" (Contracts and Commissions).
|
| I have been three years with ITC.
Promoted to Vice President 13 months ago.
|
| ITC's website is at www.IndependentTech.com.
Using MS FrontPage I have created for my company's International
Operations a separate website linked to the previous one ( www.IndependenTEK.com
). Please, feel free to visit both. |
POLYGLOT: -
| In addition to English,
I do speak Spanish (vernacular), Portuguese
(semi-vernacular) and French (I lived in Paris).
|
| I am a US citizen (since 1976) who
grew up in Northwestern Spain, very close to the Portugal border.
|
| My Brazilian-born wife is an American
Artist (oil on canvas, feel free to visit her online gallery -which I
designed- at www.MonaXuna.com). She
does her painting at home. Therefore, she does not have problem with
a -possible- relocation.
|
| Our daughter Alana would be 3 years old next
Thanks Giving. She does not go to school yet, making relocation
easier. |
GOOD ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: -
- BS degree in Electrical Engineering
(MAGNA CUM LAUDE - University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez)
- MS degree in Telecommunications
(University of Colorado, Boulder).
- Master in Business Administration (
although pending final Board Exam ) -Inter American University, Cagüas,
PR.
- In 1993 I started doctoral

and earned 16 credits towards the degree.
BUSINESS TRAVELER: -

and the Middle East.
|
| Embarked in several trips to
Asia.
|
| I have been in most Latin American
countries. |

Dedicated high-tech Engineer for two
decades. In the past I have been:

Software (1980-1984), and Animal Science Software Int'l (1991-1994).
