ROAM is an M2M/IoT communication and applications framework, multi-language support, multi-database support, and dynamic data persistency module, with huge libraries which ease the integration of any two-way communication protocols and devices. In addition, at the core of ROAM is a flexible domain module that gives a considerable advantage regarding fast application development. Through my work with ROAM, I successfully delivered the following:o Research productization feasibility, aiming to support a product-based business model rather than the previous project-based one. The research included: Requirement Engineering, Communication with Stakeholders, Product Knowledge Base design, and Development Methodologies Research.o Developing and maintaining the transaction module, ORM, IoC, dependency injection, GUI engine, Object model, distribution, performance, monitoring tools, and release tools at the ROAM framework level.o Application requirements analyze, design, team lead, develop, test and deploy. For M2M applications: Vessel Tracking, Vehicle Tracking, Fleet Management, Refrigerated Warehouse monitoring, Container Security, Health, and Safety.o Testing, scripting, and integrating new communication devices, interfaces, and protocols.o Developing interfaces and parsers to support ever-growing communication protocols and message formats.o Model design, integrate and develop new functionalities related to: • Internationalization, Archiving, and backup. • Web interface and developer tools. • Message processing and reporting engine enhancement and specification. • Debugging, testing, and performance tuning. • Driver behavior and scoring. • ETL (Extract, Transfer, and Load) module for business intelligence.o Database development, migration, and maintenance.o Release Management: • Testing and debugging. • Develop release and migration tools.

FMS Office Track is a solution covering a wide range of needs for different clients; where I delivered the following:o Dynamically build, manipulate and store the structure layer of the fleet, and the configuration of the devices: • Vehicles, drivers, and site information. • Tuning hardware parameters. • Creating and tuning device events and actions.o Handle the communication with the hardware according to predefined protocols, through memory sticks, SMS, and GPRS.o Parsing and proper storing data downloaded from the hardware, for further use by mapping and reporting models.o As an R&D engineer one of my duties was to be up-to-date with the most recent technologies in the communication field, development tools, and techniques.

I worked with two other programmers to develop an RTS game that included modern features from the biggest RTS names.Using Direct Skeleton 3D Engine, my part was to research and develop AI and logic layers and to take part in defining the game architecture and design. In further details:o Research up-to-date game algorithms, adjust them, and develop them to fit into the game design.o Create the game’s world and environment rules, mainly: • Terrain and map representations and their interaction and relation with entities. • Entities’ properties, behaviors, and interactions representation, including special entities (Projectiles, fortress walls, and gates, etc.) • Collision detection, dynamic and static LOS (Line of Sight), and grid-based A* path-finding algorithms. • Group tactics and formations. • Full robust trigger System. • Runtime Load/Save functionality for the game.o Create intelligent computer opponents (High AI): • Tactical area recognitions (Influence map) and decision-making tree algorithms. • Provide the ability of run-time fine-tune the computer opponents’ mode (character).KeywordsC++, MFC, OOP, threads, math, binary formats, compression, Memory and performance optimization, Direct Skeleton 3D Engine, Microsoft Visual C, Visual Source safe, V-Tune
