+  What I do:  Mathematical modeling and model building using Gnu
+          and other Free Software.  Scientific and engineering
+          analysis, modeling, and programming in FORTRAN, C, LISP,
+          and Java.  Statistical analysis.  Emacs customization.
+ 
+  Examples of my previous work:
+               1. I built the model used predict the
+          amount of work required to clean up the Exxon Valdez oil
+          spill.  Model was completed in ten days, used to allocate
+          resources for $2 billion summer cleanup, predictions were
+          accurate.
+               2. I built a model applying commercial capital
+          investment standards to a Federal Agency budget, helped
+          support $250 Million budget increase.
+ 
+  Credo:  Engineering is the art of applying a professional
+          knowledge of mathematics and the physical sciences to
+          improve the quality of life.

+  Notes:  1. Visiting Lecturer for Society for Industrial and Applied

+          of conflict of interest with any present or former client

+
+News:
+
+   We have just started "GCC and CVS membership support service".
+   We provide various support menus.  Please refer to
+   http://osb.sra.co.jp/WingnutSupport/ for details.
+
+What we provide is:
+
+   1. Research and development of GNU software. 
+   2. Development, porting, and customization of GNU software itself. 
+   3. Helping people who are willing to port and provide GNU software 
+      to their customers, but are unable to do so due to  a lack of resources. 
+   4. Providing a variety of educational and training services including 
+      how to port or to customize. 
+   5. The result of the work will become free software covered under the 
+      GNU licenses (GPL or LGPL), so it will be possible not only to share
+      the results with others but to eliminate unnecessary investment also. 
+   6. Passing the result to the program package maintainers (if needed). 
+   7. Also, making contributions to FSF (Free Software Foundation, Inc.)
