Iskra's Career and Resume Page

If you are reading this, you must have an interest in myself as a potential employee. I have my resume for download, in two forms, for your convienence.

• My latest resume, in Word 2000 (97 compatable) format.
• My latest resume, in plain old vanilla ASCII text.

Perhaps you want a sample of my code? You can download a few tiny samples here. More will be posted later. Sadly, much of my brilliant and elegant source code (grin) is owned by others who would not take kindly to it's public distribution. Such companies and agencies include the United States Air Force, The Californa Department of Moter Vehicles, the California Department of Justice, and American Managment Systems. All source code listed here are copywright 1999,2000 by Matthew H. Iskra, all rights reserved.

• Here is the source for my much used Java library, Dice.java. It uses the java math library to implement quite a variety of dice. I originally coded this for those very unusal diverse dice used in Wargames and in Role-Playing games.
• Here is a Java Servlet, called by the very original name of HelloWorld.java (where have we heard that one, eh?) It's not much more than a unusual variation of the Hello, World program - but it is a Servlet. I like Servlets, they are neat and very useful. This servlet generates the HTML for a hello world page. I wish to thank Mike Jackson (not the singer) for his original idea.
• Additional code will shortly be here, such as C, C++, SQL, and maybe even some other languages. Don't hold your breath for my COBOL and FORTRAN samples, though I am quite proficient in those ancient, useful, and ugly languages

Perhaps you don't want just a coder? Good for you, coding is a small part of system. Here is a GIF of a high level Data Flow Document using the Yourdan/DeMarco guidelines. I can not only drop a few industry names, but understand and use their tools. Along with Data Flow Diagrams, I have written Entity-Relation diagrams (too many!), Entity-State Diagrams, and even one Spiral Diagram.

• Data Flow Diagram. This document is only the high level and has been heavily altered to ensure security of the currently existing system. If you want it in it's original Visio 7.0 format, you can download it here.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at miskra@winfirst.com. I have had a long and diverse career, and my resume only touches on my experience, knowledge, and ability.
