I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. I will graduate in May 2006, so I am currently looking for a full-time entry-level position in Software Engineering or Web Development.
I am above all interested in financial software and advanced Internet applications (search engine, peer-to-peer, location services). I am currently researching in the field of P2P VoIP.
About the work authorization, I am French therefore sponsorship would be required. I currently hold a J-1 study visa with the possibility to do a 4-month academic training starting right after graduation.
If you require further information, just ask me.
