I used Clarion, C/C++, Assembler, Java, and Relational Database Management Systems. The following are some examples. Ascor Jewelry Trading and Production Corp, Moscow, Russia. I developed an application that managed all trade actions in retail and wholesale jewelry trading. This application worked in thirteen firms in Russia. The biggest firm used it on its network system that included about forty workstations. There were two realizations of this application. The one was written in Clarion for Windows as an MDI-program. The other one was written in Clarion for DOS (3008). This application worked in thirteen firms in Russia. Technologies used: Clarion for Windows 1000, Clarion for DOS 3008, Java (JBuilder), and HTML.

Technologies used: Clarion for DOS (218A). Alex Buglak, Moscow, Russia. I wrote an application that managed a goods catalog. Technologies used: Clarion for DOS (218A). (1988-1992) Project Manager in a software lab of The Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There I managed a group of software programmers. We developed telecommunications programs. These were navigation systems and other teleprocessing programs working with various scientific equipment. As a team leader I was responsible for relations with other labs and was involved in process of planning new projects. I took part in several cruises on scientific research vessels. There I developed programs for scientific experiments during these cruises. I also was responsible for administration of their computer network operating systems. I gained experience working under deadline conditions that took place during my ocean scientific cruises. Technologies used: C/C++, MFC, Assembler, TCP/IP, RS-232C, X.25. FORTRAN and BASIC (when worked with PHILIPS 800 series computers). (1981-1988) Junior Researcher, Senior Researcher, Department Chief in a network and telecommunication software development department of the scientific research institute "Monolit" in Moscow. There I developed the multi-terminal information processing system RCS (Requests Control System) with my colleagues. This system had taken its place in the former USSR and Russia software market competing with IBM's CICS. It was possible because CICS didn't work well with low quality telecommunications lines in Russia. We used IBM's access method EXCP (EXecute Channel Program) to get high reliability. Our ADABAS's database service scheme NATURAL system, along with our multi-terminal teleprocessing were considered to be the industry leading software in the former USSR. We wrote a book about our RCS that was published by Nauka (the biggest Russian scientific publishing firm that time) in its Programmer Library Series. The system was written in Assembler. It has more than 600 modules. I wrote 450 ones. The RCS system main features are: - automatic generation and adjustment to the given operating conditions, terminal network configuration and operation environment; - dynamic reconfiguration of resources (programs, terminals, external memory, etc.); - use of Assembler, PL/1, FORTRAN language construction in application programs to access terminals by RCS; - availability of dynamic terminal disconnection from the system and transfer of control to the processing program with all the parameters (operator name, describing the terminal, poll lists, etc.); - program to program communications. An application program can send request to another application program by RCS; - system logging facilities; - security facilities against unauthorized access to system resources. The RCS system supports more than 20 different terminal types including IBM PC compatible computers. It also maintains IBM3270 emulation on all display terminals. The RCS system architecture is based on extensive usage of 370/390 Systems architecture, its multi-tasking, sub-tasking, locking, inter-process communications. Technologies used (IBM Mainframe): Assembler, 370/390 Systems architecture, EXCP, SNA. (1979-1981) Software Developer in a computer center of the cosmos design bureau "Salut" in Moscow. Technologies used (IBM Mainframe): Assembler, PL/1, FORTRAN. EDUCATION: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) (1986), Supreme Attestation Commission, Moscow, Russia. Assessed by University of Toronto. Master's degree in Computer Science (1979), the Moscow Institute of Aviation Engineering, Moscow, Russia, Assessed by University of Toronto. REFERENCE available upon request. |
