Accusoft Pegasus
- Worked with a team of ten international developers (all from India, America, and Russia) to create a product made with Image Gear Java Bean; the beta version was released.
- Participated in development of Prizm ContentConnect in an international team of 10 people. Fixed bugs in a document conversion kernel; also fixed or ported web interfaces between platforms (PHP, C#. VB.NET, and JSP). Supported a legacy FLASH viewer for SWF documents.
- Ported image compression algorithms (GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and many others) from C#/C to Java and sometimes using JNI.
- Proposed and promoted a sophisticated solution of a critical document-rendering fidelity issue that saved the product place in the market; the solution works in yahoo mailboxes.
Technologies: Jakarta Server Pages (JSP), C#, Flash, PHP, Ant Design, Java, JNI, С++
Java/JavaScript/C++ Developer
2008 - 2010
Development on the Edge
- Worked on the Territorial Information System of Novosibirsk Oblast (a federal subject of Russia). The system stores data about people living in the region, their attributes (documents, addresses, marital status, social categories, and so on) and calculates the amount of social welfare that these people receive every month.
- Participated in a short-term project for computer tomography; provided support (fixing bugs, improving interface) of the Java applet and C++ WIN32 executable.
- Developed a JavaScript-based object web platform for displaying and editing detailed citizen's personal information.
- Created the interface for editing KLADR (Russian State Address Database) that was also employed in another project (Federal Veteran Database) that is used in all regions of Russia.
- Implemented the double-entry bookkeeping system which all of the payment transactions are recorded. The system is implemented as a Java web application for Apache Tomcat and the database is made with Oracle 11g.
- Created the DatABEL project almost from scratch, improved the speed, implemented caches, filed the handle pool, and compared its speed with other similar projects. DatABEL is a data analyzing facilitator package of large (giga- to tera-bytes) matrices; matrix storage is organized in either columns or rows so that they are quickly accessible. It’s primary aim is to support genome-wide association analysises. The package is a C++ plugin for R (a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics). The plugin allows processing, loading, saving, and transposing large amounts of data even if they don't fit into memory. It is implemented in GNU C++, designed in mind for four operating systems (Windows, Sun OS, Mac OS, Linux) with some parts implemented in R.

BCS-IT
- Developed extensions for Microsoft Remote Desktop with Microsoft Visual Studio.
- Created a prototype of the final system that was designed to speedup OpenGL 3D graphics that was transferred over an RDP connection.
- Replaced the OpenGL system DLL by a version that sends OpenGL commands over RDP and executes them directly on the client screen instead of sending uncompressed images that slow down data exchange.
- Developed the code-generation algorithm for serialization of the OpenGL commands for the final version.
Technologies: Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Extensions, OpenGL, Microsoft Visual Studio
Java and JavaScript developer
