Compuware Corp., Technology Department (QALoad product), Detroit, MI 03.2000 – 11.2004

Software Developer VII

Researched and developed the following projects:

· Discovering server scalability bottlenecks (based on performance counters). Used the Kruskal-Wallis test and modified Hodges-Lehmann estimators for statistical modeling (the article was prepared for publication);

· Pattern recognition for QALoad capture's files and "restoration of application logic" for c-scripts. This technique was able to reduce their sizes up to 10 - 15 times;

· SQL Parser (written in C++ / STL) and the algorithm for dynamic variablization based on it. With this feature, clients were able to variablize complex c-scripts (one million lines and almost one thousand SQL statements) for only 30-40 minutes instead of usual 3 days;

· Pattern recognition for simplifying variablization of DB c-scripts.

Central Transport International, Inc., Sterling Heights, MI 03.1998 – 02.2000

Systems Architect

Designed and developed

· The NT-based distributed enterprise architecture for 100+ terminals across the US, Canada, and Mexico using satellite communication;

· Two-way communication with the mainframe legacy system (DB2, CICS) based on SNA / COMTI;

· Multi-threaded asynchronous services for accessing ERP data on MS SQL Server from mainframe CICS clients (based on APPC communication with mainframe CICS) with a cluster support;

· Data marts and OLAPs for Sales and Operation Departments. Statistical visualization of the operational data based on MS Excel (MS Excel SDK, C++ / Active X add-ins).
