As part of MedWhat project, developed the “Virtual Doctor” service. Given a list of medical symptoms, the “Virtual Doctor” provides a set of possible conditions or medications that could cause those symptoms, as well as asking for additional symptoms (imitating a real doctor’s behavior) in order to refine the result and make the final set as small as possible.

As part of Computer Science final project developed “SyncFolder” application in C++ language under Linux, which is a Dropbox-like application for synchronizing the content of a specific folder between a set of machines connected over IP network. The main feature of the system is an absence of the central server (unlike the Dropbox), while all the nodes connect to each other directly and automatically. The application supports UPnP protocol and is able to run behind NAT

As part of an Electronic Engineering final project developed, with two other team members, signals recording and processing software for Digital Signal Processing lab using C# for UI programming and C++ for the main logic. The application takes full advantage of high-end professional sound cards using ASIO driver interface to record, play and process signals of wide range of frequencies

        Alexey worked with me on eCommerce search for a startup project.  He ramped up on Microsoft specific technology quickly, and was a bright and motivated team member.  He managed his deliverables and kept me updated on status - I wish we could have kept him longer! Tal Obsfeld
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Alexey is a great developer.
He has a can do approach and thoroughness.
From all my developers he was the first to adopt new technologies and methodologies (such as LINQ and automatic testing as part of new feature development).
The features he developed were thoroughly tested and remain solid and stable even today (2 years later).
I still use code parts and things Alexey has done to demonstrate to new developers how things should be done right.
It was a pleasure working with Alexey. I hope we will have a chance to work together again someday.
