Thank you for taking this time to review my resume. Currently I am pursuing a stable position during the daytime hours. With over 7 years experience in the production as-well-as pre production field, I have amassed a variety of skills. From concept through creation I have tackled many diverse aspects in the field, from creating mechanicals by traditional hand methods-to producing them on an array of computer platforms. Everything I've had the opportunity to become involved in has been hands on and not just scholastically. I have the capability and the desire to excel in just about every aspect I can manage to learn. From drum scanning on LinoType Hell Chromographs to retouching the almost seemingly impossible images I can effectively achieve most tasks in the related field. Although I am currently employed by one of the world's top advertising agencies, I am seeking a more stable environment. Being a full-time freelancer has it's ups and downs which is why I seek to move forward. There isn't any dilemma when it comes to my performance as I can & do perform under the hardest, tightest deadlines and pressure filled environments. I also am well versed in html coding, C++, java and a little visual basic, although I have not had an enormous exposure but am well aware of the tools and tricks to create a website either commercially or personally, or a minor program. For my portfolio or to discuss any other matter please feel free to  e-mail me as I will return all meesages along with my home number. Or please feel free to page me @ 917-949-8634.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours truly,
Jesus Oquendo
