François Dermu 2225 23rd ST #207 San Francisco, 94107 California USA francois.dermu@gmail.com   Dear Sir/Madam:   For the past 5 months I have been working at Dash Navigation where I was Maintaining the device management site and developed a system that allows dependency between device updates across platforms and architectures (of the different GPS the company produces.) Before that for two years I have been working at Azureus / Vuze, Inc. It was a great enriching experience. As a Software Engineer I was responsible for generating flash video previews and screenshots of user submitted content, which was done mostly using perl scripting. Later on I went a step further and built a distributed transcoding engine for all the user submitted videos, and worked intensively in evaluating the right formulas for bitrate and solving audio-video sync problems. Two other projects involved C and Java development (see My Resume for details). During my six years of studies, four internships and two previous employment, I have learned many computer programming languages and to lead a team of five people in software development. I would like to use my knowledge at your service and would appreciate an opportunity to speak with you about opportunities at your company.   I am currently in California with an H1b visa that is easily transferable to another company. Therefore I kindly request that if you would like to discuss any openings in your company, please contact me via email at your convenience. Should you find that my professional profile fits your needs, we could then set up a meeting or a phone discussion at your earliest convenience.   I look forward to hearing from you.
