To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing for the Firmware Design Engineer position (Job Numbeer 927525). HP was ranked the best PC company in the United States. I would be honored to be able to work at HP. In fact, 

I finished a Verilog project using Xilinx FPGA in my Component and Digital Design class (CS 150), and earned an A- in the class with maximum project scores. I was able to use the Xilinx FPGA board to design various verilog circuits. One of the FPGA functions involve receiving data from the Ethernet, and output the data to the AC97 Audio Chip and a text-based LCD with a Hitachi chip. In the projects, we used Xilinx Project Navigator, Synplicity Synplify, Modelsim, and ChipScope.

I earned Afs in three C programming courses, and one C++ programming course. In these classes, I completed two programming projects with more than one thousand lines of code each. Besides, my upper division Communication Network Design course (EE 122) in UC Berkeley involves TCP/IP socket programming and timing issues in C for packet transfers. This allowed me to gain network programming experience in C.

As a regular Mac user, I like to play with all the linux applications in my Mac, and I can handle common Linux operations. In addition, I installed Red Hat Linux Fedora on my PC.

Finally, I got an A grade in a Technical Communication course (E 190), in which we learned to explain technical matters to general audiences. I look forward to explaining my projects to you.

Sincerely,
Bill Hung
