For the past six months I have been actively looking for work as a Java Developer in the Chicago area. I have been using Java for the past nine months, and am expanding my knowledge by working on a project at home using VisualAge for Java and an evaluation version of Websphere. You can view javadoc documentation of my project (which is still in progress) at
