Please note: this is my old software consulting web-page (last updated in December 2000).
Since then I have concentrated on my mathematical research and have not actively participated in any commercial software development. This page is reproduced "as is" mostly for sentimental/historical reasons. Currently I am not interested in any math-unrelated software contracts.

• Alex Vladimirsky's Programming Resume

Since 1993 I have been working as an independent contractor under the business name Vladimirsky Consulting. While working with several leading software companies, I have acquired experience in many branches of modern software engineering.
However, I have especially strong background in the following areas:

• Object-Oriented Design and Analysis
• Object-Oriented Application Frameworks
• Database Architecture
• Cross-Platform Portability
• ODBMS and RDBMS
• Multi-Threaded Applications
• Graph-Theoretic & Network-Flow Algorithms
• Multi-Parametric Search Optimization
• Directed Random Search Techniques
• Scientific Computing

A large part of this expertise was acquired while working with NeoLogic Systems - the manufacturer of NeoAccess, a cross-platform object-oriented database engine. While participating in the development of this product I was responsible for integrating it into a number of Windows based application frameworks (zApp, MFC, OWL) and became familiar with portability and design principles of several frameworks on other platforms.
I have participated in design and development of the following core features of NeoAccess:

• Relational query engine optimization
• Inverted (full text search) indices
• Type specific indices
• Run-time index creation/reorganization
• "Deep" index iterators
• Consolidated indices
• Schema-evolution mechanism
• Dynamic metaobject protocol
• Run-time user authentication

My recent software development interests include:

• Distributed object systems (based on CORBA)
• JAVA programming
• Current object database standards (e.g., ODMG)
• Comparative performance/feature analysis of the multiple commercial ODBMS (e.g., Poet, ObjectStore, NeoAccess, etc)

Vladimirsky Consulting provides expertise on ODBMS and also on general issues of object-oriented architecture and design. If you think your current project could use some help from an expert consultant please send email to vlad@math.berkeley.edu.
