-
Analyzed, planned and developed Manual Confirmations processing for foreign exchange trades
(C#/Windows, Java/Linux, Sybase) in close cooperation with business users. Followed agile development practices.
Investigated and developed prototype for securing SOAP/HTTP communication
between Windows client and Apache AXIS server with Kerberos conforming to the
WS-SECURITY
Kerberos token profile.
Worked in both C#/Windows and Java/Linux environments. Re-architected GUI front-end of a foreign exchange straight-through processing system
(Windows desktop application, C#). Split monolithic system into several parts (shell+plugins)
that are now developed independently by several teams. Introduced automated build and unit
tests, greatly improving system stability in the process. Trained a team of software developers
that continues to support this project. Contributed to the Rhino Mocks open source

real proxy mechanism.
2004-2006
Bloomberg L.P. New York, NY
Architect/Technical Lead
-
Hands-on architect and technical leader of Smart Client project.
Smart Client is a distributed n-tier application that allows publishing,
deployment, execution and automatic update of .NET plug-ins for Bloomberg
Terminal.
Smart Client uses C#, C++, Web Services, SSL, load-balanced web farm (IIS),
and SQL Server 2005 database cluster. It is highly available scalable
system that serves over 300,000 users worldwide. Multi-threading is
used heavily in several parts of the system.
Developed initial prototype of the system. Produced architecture and
high-level design of Smart Client, using Visio and "Enterprise Architect"
tool. Wrote functional specifications for the majority of system
components. Provided technical leadership to the team. Personally
developed most of the business logic and data access tier, and
portions of presentation tier.
Smart Client is developed by a team of 10 software engineers using
agile-style development process. The project extensively uses
unit testing (nUnit), and continuous integration.
-
Led the effort for the integration of Smart Client with homegrown
UNIX-based GUI environment called "Launchpad". Windows part of the
integration package is written in C# and C++, UNIX part is written
in plain C. UNIX part is portable code running on AIX, Solaris and
HPUX. Provided design and implementation of the key components,
and coordinated contributions of 3 other people to the project.
Created C API for UNIX developers, that allows invocation and
control over Smart Client applications from Laucnhpad. Created
messaging framework that allows Smart Client application authors
to communicate easily with Launchpad infrastructure.
-
Developed "Report control" for Bloomberg Terminal. Report control
is a Windows-based control remotely controlled by UNIX server.
Used C++, MFC (Windows side), portable C code on UNIX side
(worked on AIX, Solaris, HPUX and DG/Intel). Used XML for
communication between UNIX and Windows
(libxml library).

The application displays single-frame and multi-frame medical images stored in variety of formats (DICOM, AVI, proprietary), and provides a rich set of diagnostics and analysis functions to the doctor.
ReviewX is an n-tier distributed application that uses Visual C++, MFC, ATL, ADO, COM/DCOM, SQL Server, and Windows Services. Applied a number of design patterns: Model-View-Controller, Decorator, Composite, et al., in order to improve quality of the design.
- Designed and developed 2-tier Web-based medical imaging system (Optibrowse) using ISAPI extensions, Visual C++.
- Designed and developed DICOM print package for medical imaging application with print preview and annotation features. Connectivity to conventional printers, laser imagers, DICOM printers. Using Visual C++, MFC, Merge library.
