Work Experience
Experienced Developer
Nekruzjon Maxudov
- Developed an Excel VSTO Add-In from scratch with its own custom task pane and ribbon menu.
- Implemented searching over a PDF to find a specified test.
- Connected an OCR engine to the Excel Add-In to search for text in the PDF files that cannot be parsed.
- Created an installation package for both Windows Installer and ClickOnce for the Add-In.
Senior .NET Developer
SBB Financial Analysis Oy
- Developed a corporate financial reporting web app from scratch. This app helps work with key financial values: analyze, enter, change import/export, create reports, etc.
- Worked closely with the client to collect all the requirements for the app and discuss new features and technical aspects.
- Contributed to the reports that the app provides: the reports are configurable, can have graphs, and can be printed or exported to PDF.
- Connected a Stripe payment system to collect payments for the app. It has several available subscription plans, and all Stripe details are fully configurable.
- Developed the back-end and front-end sides. Technically, this is a Blazor server-side app.
- Configured the system to make the app work on Azure and made it very easy for the client to upload and update the app on Azure.
- Helped the client start implementing new features in the app that I developed: reviewed his code, tested it, managed task list, etc. Now the client successfully works with the code and implements new features without my assistance.
Back-end Developer
Vyrty (Sync.md)
- Developed a REST back-end service for storing profile information, exchanging documents, uploading photos, and more.
- Implemented SMS messages from the back end for the end users of a mobile app (using Twilio).
- Constructed a payment and subscription routine via Stripe.
- Implemented email, Slack, and automatic SMS notifications.
- Enabled SignalR communication with the web front end.
- Developed an end-user password recovery process by sending a recovery code over email.

- Gave the plugin the ability to collect the required information from the Excel file sheets.
- Made the plugin easy to install and manage in MS Excel.
Senior Software Engineer
2Gis
- Created a functionality for updating the data index file on end-user mobile devices.
- Reinvented a system for keeping recorded text information in a more compact way.
- Developed a Python utility to test a text search library on a huge amount of data (around 20 million records).
- Led the data index update development and integration processes.
- Improved the Visual Studio build time of the project by using a common PCH file via GYP settings.
- Handled and fixed memory leaks and performance issues.
- Created a WKT parser that outperformed the existing one and improved data index file building time.
Senior Software Engineer
Omnom
- Created a C#-distributed app that communicated via TCP/IP to its parts and via JSON/REST to a back-end.
- Developed a POS software (iiko) extension that collects and sends order information to the server.
- Built a Win Service that added QR codes into a client's receipt while the POS software was printing it.
- Deployed and supported the whole system in restaurants.
- Taught restaurant staff to work with the system and helped to set up internal processes.
Project Manager

- Helped to release the first version of the product.
- Led the working process, including the requirements, tasks, bugs tracking, and team management.
Software Engineer

- Worked much on the performance of the report creation to enhance the end-user experience.
Experience
Corporate Financial Analysis Web Application
https://analyzer-demo.sbbfinancialanalysis.com/ASP.NET Core Back-end Development
https://syncmd.com/Full-text Search Engine
This is a robust full-text search engine (online and mobile) for a local search service. A cross-platform search engine for all 2Gis products family.
It uses its own data index to fulfil a high-performance full-text search. It takes into consideration such things as morphology, typos, object popularity, and more. It has a lot to do with algorithms, memory management, and performance.
Omnom Software Engineering
The client should just put the phone on the table to make it see the check, click couple buttons in the mobile app, and that's it. The startup wasn't successful, unfortunately, and was finally closed.
ESRI Business Analyst Software
http://www.esri.com/software/businessanalystThe software itself is based on ArcGIS technologies (ArcObjects library) and existed as desktop, online, and mobile apps. I worked on the desktop app and the work dealt mainly with a combination of C++ and C# code.
