PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS

INVENTIONS

in mid-2002 created own “signature” in software architecture, so-called OpenFrame Concept - a unique, hyper-advanced infrastructure of interconnected uni-business components, a unique approach to the logical design of the enterprise architecture of distributed and parallel systems to solve existing and/or potential issues of development, maintainability, extensibility, integration, enhancements, and ultra-customization with existing products and applications, and prospective applications and products by sensitively addressing business requirements tolerance and defect-free solutions.

The OpenFrame employs unique combination of architecture patterns, Object-/Component-Oriented Design, interface-based SOA, the principles of the Microsoft best practices (product consistency and conceptual integrity) and initiatives, MSF (Microsoft Solution Framework), CORBA approaches to the conceptual design, Japanese Kanban Just-In-Time System of Industrial Management, and eXtreme Programming practices and Agile methodologies.

OpenFrame architecture has been implemented and is particularly employed by Pfizer Corp., OceanWide Inc., Visa Corp. and Intel (through OSTnet OpenSource), Government of Canada (Treasury Board, CDIC, OSFI, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Supreme Court of Canada, Transport Canada), IBM, CN, JAM Industries Ltd., and other companies and organizations.

 

TEACHING

 in Nov 2002 opened a private computer school:

- personally taught Complete Full Life-Cycle of Business Analysis and Object-Oriented Programming utilizing RDBMS and Visual Studio .NET more than 50 people who are now employed in Canada and USA;

- in Summer, 2007 started teaching Software Architecture Fundamentals using Microsoft technologies.
