Dear Marc Delisle,

I have desire to contribute for PHPMYADMIN project. I really liked the "User preferences" project that was selected in GSOC 2010 under your supervision. I would really want to contribute in such sort of projects under your kind supervision. I am looking to start contributing as soon as possible in order to familiarise myself with PHPMYADMIN codebase and hopefully make significant contributions during GSOC period and beyond. The following is my brief introduction please:

I finished Bachelors in Information and Communication System Engineering (4 year Honors) from National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) in 2009. In an Undergraduate Dissertation, I worked on “Design and Development of Automatic Frequency Planning (AFP) Tool” in joint collaboration between NUST and world leading Telecommunication Operator, WARID Telecom (Pvt) Limited, Abu Dhabi & SingTel Alliance. My undergraduate dissertation was awarded Rector’s Gold Medal.

Currently, I am pursing postgraduate degree in Wireless Systems (2 years) at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. The master course mainly focuses on key technologies for wireless systems, including an overview of the area as well as a deeper knowledge within communications theory, signal processing, radio communication and communication networks and insight in the ongoing research and development work.

In 2007, I was selected as an intern at MOBILINK Telecom (PMCL) Group of Multinational Orascom Telecom to work in the Network Switching Subsystem (NSS) department. In 2008, I was selected to take part on an extensive training on Wireless Channel Modeling and Simulation that was organized by NUST in collaboration with University of Surrey UK. In 2010, I worked as a System Integrator at Buraq Integrated Solutions (Australian based company) that involved PHP, JSP, JavaScript, MATLAB, MySQL, MicroLogix and OPC Server. I have over two years of experience in the industrial software development projects. I have fair experience in network programming. I developed a multi-client/server application based on the Sliding Window Protocol using TCP/IP sockets, C++, threads and C#. I have vast hands on experience on different programming languages PHP, C, C++, C#, Java, SQL, Asp.Net and MATLAB.

Please find my attached resume. Thanks

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Yours Sincerely, Umair Muhammad Electrical Engineering Master Student, Specialization in Wireless Systems, School of Electrical Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), SE 100-44 Stockholm, Sweden. Email: mumair@kth.se Cell: +46 764 097 574
