Build Alpha

Build Alpha is an algorithmic trading platform designed for professional traders, investors, and money managers to create numerous algorithmic strategies, meeting their risk criteria across various asset classes. The platform helps users achieve their trading goals without the coding skills required and test strategies in a few seconds.

I managed the project from the beginning, creating the app architecture and discovering a fast and friendly UI/UX. I used Microsoft DevOps tools that helped me organize a small team's work.

Signal Processing App

A .NET-based app for demonstrating various signal processing methods.

Together with other authors, I've invented a unique orthogonal sawtooth basis protected by the patent RU 2576591 C2 and then implemented an encoder and decoder based on it. I developed the back-end logic and created a friendly UI/UX with 2D charts to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each codec algorithm.

Virtual Truck Dashboard for a Truck Simulator

A library of user interface controls for a realistic 3D truck simulator. It replicates the dashboard and equipment of a real truck and provides the ability to interact with individual controls such as buttons, switches, pedals, and displays.

I implemented a flexible hardware accelerated UI and communication interface.
