Continue working on "NetVault FastRecover" product.
Windows kernel FS Filter development and support. Rewritten cache eviction code. Rewritten VODR code to avoid deadlocks and races. This required introducing additional cache layer for arrived blocks with multi-try logic.
Development of the host protection agent for "NetVault FastRecover". Taken sole responsibility of FS Data Agent code. Introduced "Asynchronous Tree Walker" mechanism.

05.2009 - 12.2010 "Bakbone Software"

Working on "NetVault: FASTRecover" product, successor of Asempra BCS. Windows kernel IOFilter development. Development of Windows and Linux versions of host protection agent for "NetVault: FASTRecover". Taken sole responsibility of FS Filter driver and DMSJ layer code. Major redesign of SCB context counting in foundation driver. Studied kernel programming and debug technuques.
Host Agent is written in C/C++ and consists of a kernel driver and a system service. It transparently monitors File System / Application activity, accumulates it and routes it to BCS via LAN / WAN. Is also provides capability of user data recovery back from the server. Virtual on-demand recovery is a patented technology providing instant data access from applications.

10.2000 - 10.2003 "OpenLink Software"

Development of client-part applications for OpenLink Virtuoso DBMS. Main application, named Access/V, is a user front-end tool, looks like MS Access and has the similar functionality. It is written on C++ using wxWindows cross-platform library. It uses an ODBC for access to databases (supports MS SQL, Oracle, DB2, Pervasive etc.) and uses Virtuoso SQL extensions for maintaining objects in database and performing complex tasks. Also made utilities like Virtuoso Migration tool, using wxWindows as UI base. Then taken part in a new VSPX language development. VSPX is a server-side form-oriented language similar to MS ASPX. Implemented using internal Virtuoso XSLT processor and VSP (Virtuoso PL). Written significant part of new Virtuoso Admin UI using VSPX. It includes more than hundred of pages with active content, reflecting and controlling Virtuoso server capabilities.
