 		Focus

I focus on very fast, efficient and well-documented development, which results in high-quality deliverables. The focus is augmented by:
  • Over 15 years of very intense experience in programming

  • Very wide range of fields: from MFC-based GUI to custom OS kernels, BSP, device drivers, compilers and interpreters, network applications, 3D graphics, software optimizations and a lot more

  • Development discipline makes overall functionality and high-level design as well as all forseeable pitfalls visible and taken into account. This minimizes risk and makes for realistic and verifiable estimates

  • Quick learning of new fields

  • Efficient research: ability to raise the most substantial questions and efficiently find answers to them
    •

In many cases it happened that the customers were stuck up to a year (or even more) with a project, or wondered if what they wanted is at all viable. Together we completed development from scratch in just several months.

Below is an illustrative list of projects that I did and time it took.

Project Summary Time
Device driver for a custom VME I/O card for LynxOS Study of VME bus, study of LynxOS, figuring out and producing workaround for LynxOS's inconsistency, writing and defining SRS, development of the driver, development of test suit for the hardware, testing hardware, testing the driver, supervising writing of the user manual. 4 months
BSP for embedded Linux and u-boot for a custom board. Study of the board, preparing the cross-compiling work environment, fixing memory-mapping problems, fixing IDE interface, fixing USB interface, writing interface for the custom controller (in CPLD), testing hardware. All development work was for both u-boot boot monitor and embedded Linux 4 months
