CTT Computers Ltd., Moscow, Russia, 1993–1999

Software developer

1995–1999

Member of a team developing Automated Railroad Control Center – a client/server system built around MS SQL Server. The system collects information from several sources about train disposition and operations, organizes it in a database, and presents an up-to-date view of the transportation process to various railroad officials. Historical data is maintained for analysis and reporting.

This software complex is chosen by the Ministry of Railway Transport of Russian Federation as mandatory for all railroad companies.

My participation included:

ท Designing and developing a middle tier framework similar to COM apartment threading model. It allowed other team members to leverage the advantages of multithreaded processing but insulated them from low-level details of data access synchronization and other concurrency issues.

ท Developing SQL Server stored procedures for data access tier.

ท Implementing telecommunication components using Win32 serial communication API and WinSock API for communication over TCP/IP.

ท Designing and developing a suite of data presentation applications for various railroad officials. Asynchronous ODBC SQL queries provide near real-time information refresh. Highly modularized design allows quickly assembling an application customized for a particular official.

ท Implementing special-purpose data presentation components, such as a train sheet.

1993–1994

Implemented a software controller embedded in a special-purpose data acquisition device. Collected data is transmitted over serial port. The software is developed in Assembler x86.
