Developing methods and procedures of evaluation of video stream quality (H.264 and VP8 encoded with different libraries and hardware accelerators). The evaluation had the crucial value for optimizing transferring images from a remote vehicle to an operator. The result of my research is significantly reducing mobile traffic by 20-25% without loss of video quality.Primary programming languages: C, Python, MATLAB.

Working on firmware of home devices (WAN+LAN+WiFi router).Fixing some errors in the code.Optimizing internal flow of firmware operation (e.g. introduced new RPC calls instead of a series of standard RPC calls giving the increase of performance).I have found also a bug in a Realtek network card driver and contributed the fix to the vendor.Primary programming languages: C.

Led a project to create the entire firmware for a newly designed device intended to transfer high-quality H.264 video over several parallel cellular interfaces (more info at https://www.videofleet.com/catalog/5308.html). This was a large-scale project that was divided to these subprojects:* device drivers for video capturing chips connected to the i.MX6Q platform (ARM Cortex A9 architecture);* video stream handlers based on gstreamer libraries;* custom tunnel for transferring data stream over parallel cellular connections handling freezes, dropouts, jams, etc;* GUI to control the device via touch screen;* customized Debian GNU/Linux installation for embedded environment.The resulting device was exhibited at “Israel HLS & Cyber 2016” and “ISDEF 2017” forums and included to the list of Israeli innovations.Also I have written an implementation of SRTP for older Eurotech products based on MIPS Audiocodes hardware for VoIP applications.

Various IT engineering and administrating jobs:* Campus-wide heterogeneous network administration. E.g. I have fixing a bug in the Linux 2.4 kernel during deployment of a new network (2000), and performed seamless migration from Novell Netware to Microsoft Windows directory successfully (2004);* Supporting web and local Linux servers;* Launched some web projects.* Launched some web projects.

Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russia

Making an embedded environment for a newly developed CNC:* fitting a system to a 16MB flash disk instead of an ordinary 540MB hard disk* development of an installer from a set of floppy disksWriting a Linux kernel driver for a custom keyboard attached to a parallel interface built to emulate a standard keyboard.Primary programming languages: C, Bash scripts
