Enterprise Company
- Led the development of a flagship reporting solution for several years—evaluating the feasibility and complexity of tasks, analyzing and developing algorithms, and managing the team on the technical parts.
- Bootstrapped an MVP for several public and internal products and served in various roles during the development of the projects.
- Bootstrapped a project that involved migrating the flagship product to a web platform (JavaScript).
Team Leader
DataDynamics
- Developed an internal barcode rendering library with more than 20 symbologies using reverse engineering and a report migration tool for Crystal Reports and MS Access Reports. (I worked as a contractor.).
- Served as both the architect and coder to create several WinForms components (including SharpGraph and ActiveAnalysis) from the MVP to final publicly available products.
- Led ActiveReports development for several years and for major releases including a fresh new report viewer and report designer components.

Experience
SharpGraph for .NET
https://bit.ly/31Yg6QkThe component included advanced 3D rendering features for a presentation-quality look and feel, such as shading algorithm with ambient, directional and point light sources, isometric and perspective projections.
My involvement included an analysis, the overall product design, writing the specifications, and coding.
ActiveAnalysis
https://www.componentsource.com/product/activeanalysisI developed the MVP of the component and led a team of five people for several years. I also designed the abstraction layer for representing the OLAP query and resulting data cube, which allowed us to handle both direct queries to Microsoft Analysis Server and to the homegrown desktop OLAP data processor for relational data.
Enterprise Reporting Solution
• Data processing and aggregation facilities
• Template-based document generation
• Rule- and restriction-based layout and pagination engine
• A wide variety of export and viewer components for various platforms including WinForms, WPF, web, Flash, and so on
My contribution to this project includes a new processing model and algorithms of the system core, which consists of data processing and document layout. The new processing model reduced code complexity, improved memory and CPU performance by order of magnitude.
Reporting SaaS Platform
Tasks Accomplished:
• Worked out the system design (document storage, RBAC permissions, plugins model, auth, API gateway, GraphQL endpoints).
• Developed the product in a team.
• Built the reporting module and the report render/export protocol with load balancing across several render nodes.
