The Department I am working for is involved in the design and development of a system of communication for the FBI and other organizations and is also setting a standard for communication between these organizations. They mainly focus on XML Messaging and Webservices.\par \par Prior to this, I worked with a startup company which was an internal contractor for America Online. I was involved in designing and developing the workflow for the entire lifecycle of AOL Internet CDs \f1\endash\f0 right from bidding by Vendors for parts of the CD to the final production and Customer sign in tracking information.\par \par The interesting thing I noticed about the projects I have worked on is the wide range of challenges \f1\endash\f0 deadlines, changes in customer requirements, system malfunction, design refinement, etc. I feel that my 2 years in Syracuse University and the courses I took with Dr. Jim Fawcett has helped me stay confident and prepared for these kinds of challenges. \par ----------\par \par Thank you Dr. Fawcett.\par \par I shall definitely keep in touch.\par \par Rest is great\par With best of Regards,\par Girish\par \par \par \par >===== Original Message From "Jim Fawcett" ===== \par >Hi Girish:\par >\par >Good to hear from you.
