Work Experience
Chief Software Architect
2020 - PRESENT
Trilogy
- Created several PoCs to provide a C2C-like experience for corporate clients integrating Salesforce, NetSuite, and custom company systems. I have used a fully serverless approach and AWS platform.
- Worked closely with the VP of Product Management to understand business needs and implemented sales automation in Salesforce to increase the performance of the sales representatives.
- Performed requirements review and implemented code.
- Implemented deployment scripts based on AWS CDK and integrated them into the CI/CD process with GitHub actions.

.NET Developer
2017 - 2020
Freelance
- Created an AWS serverless prototype for an Angular SPA. Hosted Angular on S3, built the back end on Lambda with APIGateway, used Cognito to manage users, and built and deployed with CodeCommit/CodeBuild.
- Built several Angular single-page applications (SPA) with an ASP.NET MVC back end using OAuth2 authentication. Applications were transitioned to employees for future support.
- Developed a service to remove accidentally uploaded faces from photos using Amazon Rekognition and .NET Core as the platform.

Senior Software Developer
2016 - 2020
Home CNC
- Created a time-efficient algorithm for simplifying a 2D-vector image to a hardware-acceptable form, filtering small lines and too sharp angles.
- Created a multithreading monitor component to communicate via a COM port with the hardware.
- Created a WPF component displaying 2D paths with proper scaling and drag actions.
- Created a large ASP.NET MVC portal from scratch where users can upload and share their files, contact support, and communicate with each other. Integration with Jira was implemented to address the needs of the support team.
- Created a CI/CD pipeline that checks every build runs unit and simple UI tests and prepares a ready-for-delivery deployment package.

Senior .NET Developer
2019 - 2019
Authority Partners
- Fixed bugs and added new features on a huge web project with around 100 developers working on it in parallel. The UI was an Angular SPA, the back end was developed on ASP.NET, and the DB was built on MS SQL Server.
- Fixed very complex bugs that involved debugging a multithreaded WCF back end. Tracking the data path from Angular UI to SQL Server DB was necessary through several back-end parallel processes.
- Performed SQL query optimization to improve back-end performance.
- Participated in the implementation of a third-party services integration using SOAP/XSLT.

Engineering Manager
2016 - 2018
Ignite Technologies
- Performed a company acquisition due diligence and a product handover with a large team (35 team members in the acquired company and 35 of our team members).
- Learned how to synchronize engineering capabilities with business expectations.
- Worked in a highly distributed, cross-cultural, and highly professional global team.

.NET Expert
2008 - 2016
Luxoft
- Implemented an extensive monitoring system that allowed catching and fixing hard-to-catch bugs in a huge legacy project.
- Successfully improved performance activities for more than ten projects, including SQL optimization, code optimization, and code redesign; for example, moving to lazy loading and a multithreaded load of heavy resources.
- Worked in more than 20 project teams of different sizes, with up to 30 team members.
- Developed a WPF application with a rich UI running on specialized hardware. It was designed for an international exhibition, and there was no access to the hardware—a huge touchscreen.

Experience
DynamoDB Design Trainer
I created an application that allows developers to train their DynamoDB design skills. It covers several patterns that emerge during the migration from SQL databases to DynamoDB. The trainer lets developers understand the NoSQL problem-solving approach and gain basic design skills.
The application is implemented with Angular 8 and AlaSQL in-memory JavaScript DB and deployed via Github pages.

Lambda Functions as a Serverless Back End with .Net Core
https://bukov-net.livejournal.com/5196.htmlA tutorial showing how we can set up a serverless solution using AWS S3 and Lambda. We can develop a scalable .NET Core Lambda back end and an Angular front end using simple techniques. The tutorial is based on real-life tasks, such as creating a landing page for a large advertising campaign.
Amazon Rekognition .NET Core Tutorial
https://bukov-net.livejournal.com/5698.htmlAWS provides a cloud solution that can be widely used in business. Tasks such as hiding user faces and car plates on photos to be uploaded are necessary actions in many countries. This can be easily done with Amazon Rekognition and a .NET Core platform. Here is a sample of such a project.
Serverless Deploying Angular 8 on AWS S3
https://bukov-net.livejournal.com/5196.htmlA tutorial showing how to deploy Angular on S3 (static sites hosting feature) and how to overcome existing problems on this path. Angular 8 version is used for the UI, and ASP.NET Core is used as a platform.
MS SQL Server for Logical Conclusion
https://bukov-net.livejournal.com/4600.htmlIn this article, I show how powerful SQL Server optimization is. We sometimes forget that the DB relies on mathematical models, and the SQL Server is good at seeing operational relations as abstract objects. SQL is a declarative language, and taking this into account allows for the implementation of complex logic.
CSS Tricks: A Click Counter Without JavaScript
https://bukov-net.livejournal.com/4843.htmlModern CSS allows users to produce amazing interactive pages without needing any JavaScript. In this article, I show users how they can bind CSS to states encoded by checkboxes by creating a click counter with pure HTML/CSS!
LINQ and Algorithmic Tasks
https://bukov-net.livejournal.com/4902.htmlLINQ introduces a new way of thinking, which allows users to produce new and effective solutions for tasks requiring complex logic. In this article, I show how this approach can be used. LINQ is not a simple tool. It is a new way of thinking which allows you to solve old problems in a new way.
