Sales Engineer - Database

Dear Sir or Madame,

I am looking for a sales engineer/product manager position in the SF-Bay Area region.

As the only sales engineer at an automation software startup, I provided technical support during new customer engagements and led Oracle seminars centered on the topics of grid computing, data center automation, and Oracle's database clustering solution, Real Application Cluster, at local Oracle offices. Previous to this, I worked at Oracle developing the latest technology demos for senior executives within the company. In building these demos, I worked with various organizations to gather and meet critical business requirements. These projects were often accomplished under intense deadlines and were developed by utilizing technologies such as database, application server, SQL, Linux, java, and HTML.

I believe my skills can be of great assistance and I am very eager to make a significant contribution in a dynamic environment. Associates from my past work history can confirm my ability to work well under pressure and deliver high visibility projects successfully.

Please look at my attached resume to see if my skills fit your work requirements. Thank you for your time and interest.

Sincerely,
Lawrence Ng
