objective

I very much like technically challenging tasks, and i'm also interested in the more soft side of development like agile software development, software design. I'm not against solving problems involving non-trivial algorithms or mathematics.

Looking for a job, where i can learn even more about software development - modern technologies, modern development processes, smart people.

I was a lead programmer in a 3-people team porting LogMeIn to Macintosh. LogMeIn is a remote access solution for remote controlling machines behind firewalls. The code is a heavily multithreaded/networking oriented C++ code.

ported/refactored the code from Win32 to POSIX, and MacOS APIs. The software architecture is daemon with separate GUI application(s) and browser plugin as the client
consulted the team on Macintosh specific issues
debugged and fixed many multithreading related issues
used Ruby as a scripting language for building/packaging the version, and for code generation

Skills: C++, Cococa, Multithreading, Ruby, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, UNIX IPC

Graphisoft R&D

2000.08-2006.12

I've been working on company's desktop CAD application called ArchiCAD. It is a large (~5 M loc) C++, multiplatform (Mac+Windows) application. In addition to C++ we used a lot of Java based solutions where it was appropriate/possible.

As a MacOS technical lead, one of my main job was helping others in solving MacOS specific issues.

I've also contributed a lot to the development infrastructure.

Macintosh

planned/led a 2 people team for porting the codebase to MacOS with Intel CPU
ported the codebase from CFM to MachO runtime environment
participated in 4 Apple WWDC (conference) from 2002-2006

Java

written several MacOS specific Java components for customizing our java based installer - InstallShield
designed/implemented serial number/license file based protection for the education version of the product. The swing UI, serial number+license file generation was written in Java
implemented PDF bookmarking, password protection, etc. features using the open source Java iText library
integrated the Java wildfire jabber server to our next-gen server product. We were communicating with the server through a C++ jabber library (jaberoo)

Infrastructure

planned and implemented a portable Jam based build system - later integrated with Ant and MSBuild
introduced a continuous integration tool based on Mozilla Tinderbox, also used this tool for detecting performance regressions
integrated CppUnit, a C++ unit-test framework into our environment
helped to replace the obsolete in house "SCM" with a real SCM (CVS, and later Perforce)

Other

was part of a 3 people team designing core C++ framework (containers, io)
designed/implemented a client/server C++ communication framework for our next generation client/server product
was a member of a 5 member team for optimizing the ArchiCAD
maintained the product's hardware based copy protection scheme (WIBU) this included the maintenance of the ASP.NET dongle upgrade site for a short period
