The anti-malware SDK is a collection of tools designed for anyone (but businesses especially) to create their own anti-malware solution, focusing on anti-virus applications. The SDK works on several platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, and some flavors of Unix (OpenBSD and FreeBSD) as well as on mobile (iOS and Android).

I initially started working on a mature version of the product, written mainly in C, focusing on improving usability (making client integration of the product easier) and performance (especially on the memory management side of things).

Afterward, the team decided to write the new and improved version, which had the goal of being completely plugin-able, so that customers could buy only what they wanted from the SDK, not the whole package.

I built the CI/CD framework for building and testing the product on all the required platforms. After that was done, I focused on writing, from scratch, several of the product's out-of-the-box plugins, including the malicious URL plugin and the false positive detection plugin.

Summit is a trading tool used by many of the large investment banks of the world. I was responsible for creating add-ons of the software that responded to the specific needs of each client (bank) that was integrating the tool into their workflow.

Each add-on was a project in itself, with a full lifecycle. The working framework was Waterfall, and as the consultant/developer, I was responsible for requirement gathering, solution proposal, implementation, client communication, and QA support during the testing phase.
