Introduction

I was born in the US and grew up in San Francisco Bay Area (Silicon Valley). I started working in Silicon Valley shortly after college and my professional background reaches back to the infancy of pc and console software development. I worked for nearly 20 years in the video game and entertainment software industry before turning towards web and wireless application development (server-side).

After working for many years in both the USA and Singapore I have experience a great diversity of work environments. This has given me the skills to better work and adapt with the needs of the environment, business associates and partners.

I am now very geared towards java programming, developing applications for web and wireless platforms. It is my hope to bring my past skills and experience to the wireless platforms. Because these platforms are still changing, I see that my experience can be very helpful to help adapt and even plan for the immediate and long-range future.

During the last few years the time I have spent running my own company and managing projects has made me more aware of the effects of timely and organized delivery of products and services. I have also received on the job training in client management, which has given me the skills to develop good positive client relations.

I wish to obtain a position in a Singapore (or surrounding region) company either managing or leading product development for web or wireless applications, research and development. It is my hope to make the most of these technologies and bring a competitive edge to the technologically market. It is also my hope one day to create a dynamic and interactive applications to enhance communication and entertain for wireless device users.

If you have read this far then I assume you have at least a significant interest in having my join your workforce. I appreciate the time you have taken to review my qualifications and look forward to talking with you soon. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need additional information.

Regards, Erich Horn
