> Information Security Administrator

Protection of users workstations - about 2000 Windows computers, 
mostly connected to local network:

- Developed general security policy to streamline security efforts. 
- Cleaned different computers (that were unprotected) from viruses and other
malware, configured software to prevent future infections and returned 
computers to operation. 
- Provided security information, recommendations and news for users and 
local administrators. 
- Organized relevant security updates for OS, applications and protection 
software to ensure automatic updates and to simplify manual patching. 
- Monitored network for dangerous activity and investigated suspicious machines.

> 1/2000 - 1/2004
> NII RES (scientific research institute that specializes in the
> development of radio-electronic systems) Russia, Chelyabinsk
> Senior developer

Lead developer on team of two conducting Windows application development.

  "Radiokarta" - radio system for GSM network analysis and radio coverage
prediction for local GSM service provider "South Ural Cellular Telephone".
  Researched and developed radio wave propagation model using information
from digital map.
  Developed and implemented using MS Visual C++:
  - module that reads data from GPS and GSM hardware receivers,
  - persistence subsystem to store program information in XML and binary
    files,
  - module for measured data analysis using Matlab graphics and statistics
    toolbox capabilities through Matlab C API.
  Applied unit testing dramatically reduced programming errors and debug
time, which was extremely important for release builds.
  Upon completion and implementation of basic requirements, operational
application was delivered to client to benefit business value. Continued to
work with client adding functionality based on initial specification and
emergent requests.

  "Radiotochka" - real-time radio system designed to track movement of fire
fighters during training.
  Adapted and implemented position location algorithm using distance
measurements from ultrasound sensors.
  Developed and implemented using MS Visual C++:
  - display calculated personnel positions and building map on screen,
  - concurrent data acquisition from hardware, positions calculations and
    user interface operations using several threads through Win32 API.

> 8/2000 - 5/2004
> Mechel (metallurgical works) Russia, Chelyabinsk
> Senior developer (part-time)
- Refactored core of the fixed assets accounting program (five years in
  production and maintenance) written in Clipper using an object oriented
  extension library o:Clip. Required large amount of test code, but
  prevented new bugs.
- Developed and implemented data integrity and forms access framework
  using organization preferred FoxPro.
- Brought to development team coding standard and perspective techniques
  including: pair programming, collective code ownership and object
  oriented responsibility distribution to increase software quality and
  projects' robustness.

> 8/1996 - 8/2000
> Mechel (metallurgical works) Russia, Chelyabinsk
> Programmer (part-time)
Coded automation programs for accounting department using FoxPro with
MS SQL, Clipper and DBF database files. Solved problems inherent to
development for network/multi-user environment. Product support for
developed programs.
