Vitaliy P.

## BIO SUMMARY - Languages: C++, C, Perl, PDF. - Tools: Visual C++ 6, STL, Adobe Acrobat SDK, PDF Library. - Platforms: Windows (various), Linux. - Other: object-oriented design, algorithms, math background. EXPERIENCE 2002 Senior System Analyst Management Systems Designers, Vienna, VA Contract for National Center for Biotechnology Information in Bethesda, MD. - Measuring performance of MEGABLAST - world famous nucleotide sequence matching tool. This includes setting up and running batch tests, analyzing results, profiling the application with monitoring tools like MPATROL and GPROF. - Documenting existing C code that implements complex sequence-matching algorithms, such as greedy X-drop algorithm. 1998 - 2001 Senior Research Software Engineer Moore Research Center, Buffalo, NY Participated in several roles on medium-to-large scale multi-platform mail merge project. Accomplishments: - Wrote efficient C++ PDF parser/writer, based on Adobe PDF C library. - Conducted fine-tuning of system internal parameters that reduced worst case processing time by 80 percent. - Performed urgent troubleshooting of critical defects, preventing 6-digit losses in idle press time and contract obligations. - Acted as consultant on PDF and design idioms for other team members. - Designed and coded "variable text along curves" module. New feature was effortlessly employed with text along arcs and proved to be especially popular among direct marketing customers. Extensible design allowed for replacing arcs with any combination of Bezier curves and for easy production speed optimization. - Evaluated commercially available PDF and Unicode libraries for compatibility, feasibility, and speed. - Completed Acrobat Plug-in Writing Workshop held by Adobe specialist. 1995 - 1999 Teaching Assistant State University of New York, Buffalo, NY Taught various undergraduate math courses, supervised Macintosh and Mathematica learning labs. 1993 Software Engineer SKB Format, Odessa, Ukraine Implemented one-user cashier and warehouse operator workspaces (SQL, Clipper). 1991 - 1992 Software Engineer NIITCryogenMach, Odessa, Ukraine Developed batch data conversion utilities for a large industrial expert system (txt ->dbf). EDUCATION 2000 M.A., Mathematics State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 1991 B.S., Mathematics Odessa State University, Odessa, Ukraine ## Area of Expertise C++, STL, PDF Library and plug-ins.
