Resume:
I am a student at the University of Sussex studying for a Master of Research in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.

For my undergraduate degree in Computer Science, I was awarded an academic prize for my dissertation entitled "Distributed Web Indexing and Searching - A Peer-to-Peer Architecture Search Engine". It received a grade of 90% and can be found at the following address http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/teaching/prizes/2002_naicken.doc (Word format).

My research interests are in distributed systems, algorithms, information retrieval and software applications.

Details of my expertise are described above. My other interests are learning foreign languages, current affairs, football(soccer) and reading.

I am happy to work on all kinds of projects and intend to use "Rent-A-Coder" as an opportunity to improve my skills, so I will only take on jobs that I can dedicate sufficient time to.

Stephen.
