Cynthia Kateyiannis is a Technical Placement Specialist at TechSource California, located in Orange County. She assists her corporate clients by presenting candidates who fit the job requirements, growth opportunities within the company, the office environment, and the corporate culture. Cynthia has a Bachelor of Science from the BREN/Information and Computer Science School at UC Irvine and worked for years in the custom development IT world at many companies before moving to the dark side and becoming a recruiter. The years she worked as a developer and manager gave her a varied background in information technology. As a Decision Support consultant at Coopers & Lybrand she had the unique opportunity to work at client sites all around the U.S. These experiences gave her first-hand knowledge of many different work environments. Working primarily on Decision Support/Artificial Intelligence projects, her client companies were in the Banking, Telecommunications, Insurance, Engineering, Military and Entertainment industries. Cynthia traveled around the US to client sites, sometimes living up to 18 months on site, before moving to the next client. Cynthia also worked for Aion/Trinzic. This rules-based AI Software start-up was based in Palo Alto and Cynthia worked in the sales and consulting group in the early 90’s—well before start-ups were cool. This was another job with plenty of traveling and custom development opportunities, along with additional sales/marketing experience. In her more sedentary positions, Cynthia had a short stint on a “Secret” project at Rockwell International as a GN&C program developer (before Congress cancelled funding). She also worked as a software development manager at an Insurance firm during a platform move. Cynthia is an active member of the BREN school of ICS at UC Irvine which keeps her in touch with not only the latest technology advancements, but also a large Alumni pool of candidate talent and clients. Matching candidates to the unique staffing requests her clients have is what Cynthia excels at, in part because she’s worked at so many companies and experienced so many different work styles/personalities/corporate cultures. TechSource California provides recruiting services to client companies around the country. www. TechSourceCA.com

My name is James Y. Wilson. Why the “Y” you ask? Well, you couldn’t pick a more common name than James Wilson. Just try Googling the name James Wilson and you will see first hand just how common my name is. So to differentiate myself in cyberspace, I have tried to use my middle initial as much as possible. First and foremost I am an engineer. More specifically a software engineer. Though we are often the mules of the technology world, I can’t think of a more enjoyable, more noble a profession than that of engineering. If you are an engineering student, I truly believe that you have chosen the right profession. And thankfully, unlike some professions, ours is one that can provide a reasonable living. Secondly, I am an amateur robot researcher. I call myself an amateur because I lack the impressive list of credentials that so many others in this field have accumulated through years of research and publication. If you are one of those people I would call a professional robot researcher, please include me in your fan base. I believe that you (and me to some extent) are at the forefront of a new industry in consumer and industrial robots. Today we may labor in obscurity, but the day will come when robots will be as common as the automobile. Thirdly, I am a devotee of Windows CE. I have worked with CE since its early days, have written a book on the subject with Aspi Havewala called “Building Powerful Platforms With Windows CE”, a number of articles, presented various sessions at Microsoft Embedded DevCon's, and most importantly, have lived and worked with this OS on a number of projects. As embedded OS’s go, CE is the most flexible, the most well integrated, by far the most cost effective, way to go far a variety of device types. I could go on, but I am sure you have your own opinion on this subject. If so, leave me a comment. Lastly, I am a Microsoft Embedded MVP, an honorary status conferred by Microsoft on those who support the community. This gives me an inside track on what is happening with Windows CE as it continues its evolution, and has been a most valuable tool over the years. For more information see the MVP web site and my profile on this same web site.
