Summary
I am a seasoned Software and Data Engineer and Architect with over 20 years of experience working both with
agile teams and as a sole contributor. My expertise is in architecture, design, and development of software and
data — systems and applications. As a software technologist I can clearly articulate where technology and
programming effort meet to contribute to the realization of the project. I can tackle technological and
algorithmic problems that exceed the capabilities of typical developers — examples provided upon request.

Examples of work
| Type of problem |
Example |
| Concurrency |
Criteria for triggering interdependent database processing operation
Log processor program that can be run in many instances allowing for trivial scaling

Autonomous transactions to commit error records in case a work item failed and was rolled back
Large updates (150k rows) that needed to be committed in chunks and available to be reversed by another update as if rolled back
|
| Control |
System for controlling the parameters of advertising campaigns to achieve their best performance - both simple and optimal control
Flow control system that allowed for media data to be sent in a low-priority channel over the same link as high priority data
|
| Data modeling |
Verbalizing the nature of relationships between entities driving toward schema normalization.
Data model change that simply captured history of changes to the data by adding time attributes to certain entities and forbidding their deletion |
| Application structure |
Familiar with Volatility-Based-Decomposition (VBD). Fan of Domain Driven Design (DDD).
Experienced with microservices and cloud deployments.
