Work Experience

Sr. Consultant 7/2007 -- Present Federal Reserve, Washington, DC
* As an independent IT consultant I work on re-designing and re-developing of the legacy software that the

Board uses to collect and analyze financial data from all districts. The new web-based distributed application

is developed using .NET and it will replace client-server software that is currently in use. In cooperation

with the Board's staff I work on requirements analysis, new software design and development. I am also

responsible for coaching the Board's developers on modern technologies.

Sr. Software Architect 2/2006 -- 8/2008 Preferred Voice, Dallas, TX
* I re-designed the Mobile Phone Services Suite product using Service-oriented architecture (SOA). The new

product exposes its functionality in a form of Web Services, allowing clients to use these Services in their

products independently from Preferred Voice's Web portal. Special attention was paid to ensure secure

transmission of all user data between applications, using encryption, caller authentication and other security

features of the .NET Framework;
* I designed the core architecture for the Content Delivery Platform (CDP) -- the new prospective product the

company is going to offer to its customers. My responsibilities included requirements gathering from the

industry experts and prototyping. CDP is positioned as generic platform for mobile content delivery of any

kind, whether it is simple pictures, applications or streaming video and live TV. Based on service-oriented

architecture design will accommodate for different telecom hardware and software platforms, various types of

content and devices and will provide for easy performance scalability and high service availability. CDP is

being created to allow small-to-medium cellular operators to provide modern mobile services to their customers

and will help them successfully compete with large telecom companies, like Verizon Wireless or AT&T Wireless;
* I was leading development and ongoing support of the flagship product of our company: Mobile Phone Services

Suite. The product is oriented on small-to-medium cellular operators and includes various services that

operators can offer to their clients without spending money on developing the software from scratch. My major

responsibility was the customizable WEB portal that is used as end-user interface to the system where

subscribers can choose services and options they need and pay for them. The portal is developed using

Microsoft technologies (ASP.NET, VB.NET, C#). Due to its component design it can be easily branded to match

customer website's design. Designed with international application support in mind, the ports can be easily

translated into almost any language with no extra coding required. And also there is a WAP version of the

portal that allows customers to access the portal's most essential functionality from their mobile phones.
Sr. Software Developer / Architect 2/2003 - 2/2006 Epsilon, Irving, TX
* I worked on several on-going projects for one of our clients -- Hilton HHonors. I participated in on-going

development of middle tier framework, using COM, MSMQ and XML;
* I created an email application that is used by several internal and external clients to send emails. The

application consists of two major parts. Each one of them is designed as a group of loosely-coupled components

which communicate between each other using Web Services (SOA). One part handles actual email communications

and includes two multi-threaded Windows Services, SMTP and POP3 servers, backend Oracle database,

administration GUI and several auxiliary Web pages. The other part is responsible for design and generation of

email contents and includes a sophisticated Web-based GUI (with Email Editor, Scheduler, Campaign Manager,

etc), multi-threaded XML/XSL transformation components and backend database. All the components work on a

dedicated farm of load-balanced Web servers. All communications between the components occur via Web Services.

The application brought to my company additional $1.6M worth of email business in the first year only;
* Under my supervision a team of developers ported the existing middle-tier framework (which was COM-based,

written in VB6) to .NET platform. I designed base class hierarchy, formalized conversion methodology and

established general technical guidelines to be followed by the members of the Conversion team. I also

participated in coding, testing and deployment of the new framework.

Software Developer, Sr. Software Developer 1992 -- 2003 Various companies, US, UK, Russia
* As a Software Developer participated in various IT projects in various countries. Designed and developed

client-server and Web-based applications. Industry exposure included telecommunications, banking,

manufacturing and healthcare. Used technologies from Microsoft, Oracle, Informix, open-source, UNIX, etc.
