WORK EXPERIENCE IN ISRAEL:

2017-06 - present Audioburst. Audioburst has acquired Robin, and I continue working on Robin there.

2013-05-01 - 2017-06 Magnifis (Robin Labs http://robinlabs.com/ ). I started my work for Robin Labs at February 2012 as an outsourcing developer from the Kenlo Group Ltd. Since May 2013 I had continued to work for Robin Labs as its direct employee. I am the leading developer of the Android part of the Robin -- the personal voice assistant (see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magnifis.parking) . To date (August 2016), the product has attracted 2 million users worldwide. I had been working on this project since its beginning, had developed most of the client side architecture and had written most of the client side code.
(Since November 2013 I worked for the company part-time)

2014-07-23 - 2015-08-03 ExPay Global. Software Developer. Development and support of system for distributing and selling of co-branded MasterCard® debit cards (the system already existed when I joined the team). Worked on the web services, GUI parts and on the back-end. Used C#, MS SQL server, JS, Java, PHP, VoiceXML.

2010-04-01 - 2013-04-30 Worked in Kenlo Group Ltd (an outsourcing company) as a developer of applications for Android platform. Since 2012 February (foundation of the project) worked as a leading developer of client side of Magnifis Robin personal voice assistant. See: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magnifis.parking. Before that project worked as a leading developer of client side of a content store for a phone company. Also worked on other projects there.

2008-03-01 - 2008-10-12 Worked in company Mega Learning (a startup of JVP) as a developer of the client side team on an Internet Explorer extension. Most of the extension was written in javascript, the other part was implemented as a BHO in C++. I developed about 60% of the javascript part, and some parts of the BHO.

2007-06-01 - 2008-02-30 Worked in outsourcing company OSP (http://osp.co.il/) on a project for a startup company MyOgger. This project has a large client part written in javascript with dojo (there are more then 20 widgets written especially for this application and lots of other javascript code). The server part, written in Java, provides some English text analysis required for the client part. I've written all the client part of the project and most of the server part. Also, I've developed a Firefox add-on for internal use in MyOgger for debugging. The site is down now, but you can see it in action at this: video.

Before the last permanent positions I worked as a freelancer.

Also, at the last time, in periods when I was unemployed, I developed the next freeware:

• ע\ع (Ayn\Ayn) Lookup (http://zeevbelkin.com/aynayn/) -- a multi-purpose text research Firefox add-on, with advanced support of Semitic languages. It looks simultaneously for a selected text in many online dictionaries, encyclopedias and in other online resources. Also it converts texts written in Arabic/Syriac scripts (with diacritics if any) to Hebrew writing system (and can feed Hebrew text, transliterated to Syriac writing system, to a Syriac dictionary to find Aramaic translations there). Ayn\Ayn had been developed as a Mozilla XUL browser Add-On, it is not compatible with new Firefox Quantum , but it continues to work with SeaMonkey, Basilisk, Pale Moon, Waterfox and other browsers based on Mozilla XUL. There is also a web version of the transliterator working with any browser.

• "Yaacfi". A configurable security filter and login manager for j2ee web applications. This filter provides all features those standard j2ee servlet container security does (role based restrictions, login on demand with resuming of the action execution after the user authentication, etc), but allows to implement much more flexible and powerful user interaction schemes required to implement Openid login, cookie login, explicit login (including Ajax explicit login), etc. The filter is completely compatible with struts and its role based security. Look at http://zeevbelkin.com/yaacfi/

• "Globaldocs Viewer". The application that allows to conveniently browse multiple Javadoc sets simultaneously, using a single packages/classes hierarchy tree and a searchable index. It can use local and remote docsets, including JAR/ZIP packed docsets. Look at: http://globaldocs.zeevbelkin.com/ see also: http://freshmeat.net/projects/globaldocs/

01/2005-09/2005: Worked, as a freelancer, for US firm Cogitations, Inc (founder of Ifbyphone) where I developed a game server (provides several single user games and a realtime multiuser game) written in Java, that uses hibernate3 and communicates with other parts of the project via XMLRPC. The server is used in http://ifbyphone.com voice portal (used technologies: Java,VoceXML,XMLRPC,Linux environment,MySQL,PHP).

03/2004-12/2004: Programmer in Tekoa Computers (and, in the same time, I worked as a freelancer for other firms too). For Tekoa Computers I made Adaptation of their DOS-games to Windows 2000/XP environment. Mostly, this work was customizing of existing freeware WinNT VDD drivers and witting additional utilities and VDD-drivers (C/C++/Asm).

For Gigaspaces (http://www.gigaspaces.com) I had written a site engine for their site. This engine provides user account management, wraps tomcat container based security to provide cookie login and explicit login abilities, provides XML-configurable download areas, various statistics, etc. There is also a custom template system based on html-parser and SSI-servlet. Technologies: Java+jsp/servlets+jdbc;MySQL. I provided technical support and additional development for this site till year 2007.

WORK EXPERIENCE IN RUSSIA:

Freelance projects:

• 05/2002-12/2002: Genealogical data management application. This is an extremely lightweight Java 1.1 GUI application that works on different platforms (it was tested with: MS JVM, Sun JVM 1.3 (Windows and Linux) and IBM OS/2 JVM 1.3). The application provides a nice and powerful user interface for browsing, searching, creating and editing genealogical trees, GEDCOM import/export, particular photo-albums, for each person stored in the database.The application has very impressive GUI. Also, the program is very compact and works well on slow computers with small amount of RAM. A specially designed file format was used to store the databases.

• Software part of medical equipment, for "Sensatec" (UK firm), written in Delphi, works on PC that communicates with the equipment via COM-port and via ISA ADC card.

• Database table record editor -- part of "Arttechnics " (Moscow WEB-design firm) CMS. The CMS stores data in PostgreSQL tables. There are several data types: HTML, plain text, select, etc. The editor allows to a customer to edit a whole record with several fields in a WYSIWYG-mode. Each customer has a separate directory on the server to store his images, it is possible to insert images from the local computer with immediate upload to the server, etc. The customer should use MSIE. Most of the code is a client-side JavaScript-code. Server side: PHP/Apache/PostgreSQL. Also I had written some other software for the same firm: database-stored unlimited size trees (editor and viewer PHP classes).

Some permanent positions :

• 1998 -- 08/2000 -- Tradition (Moscow firm) http://www.tradition.ru - programmer. The last project: An ISP system (Linux/C++/PHP/MySQL) . This is an one host solution for small ISP's to provide dial-up Internet access and per user homepage areas. It was used internally in the company. The system is controlled with a very simple, but powerful, web interface that provides the tariff plans and user accounts management. Also there is a web interface for the users to get their statistic. There are MySQL database, RADIUS daemon (modified version of the cistron), PAM module "pam_isp", Apache+mod_SSL+PHP, FTPD (to upload files to user's web space), sendmail, POP3D+IMAPD with authorizing via "pam_isp ". I completely designed and implemented this system, that was in use about 4 years.
