About Mirko V.

I have been using computers since 1981 and I always kept my motivation when it came to dealing with new technologies. I remember browsing the Usenet comp.* newsgroups as soon as 1992. The following year, I installed Linux for the first time (this was a Sunsite/FTP mirror on a CD and I had to rawrite it onto enough floppies to get it ready for installation. The kernel was 0.99v13, the one that became 1.0. Getting X11 to work on this system was an endeavour which would freak most modern Ubuntu user away).I began designing web sites as soon as 1993 in HTML, and in Java as soon as 1995.I also worked as a business informatics teacher and in the print industry.In 1998, I was working in the very Alcatel Alsthom Research group which announced DSL. I was then in charge of the Alarming System (C++/Oracle/HP-UX).I then left to Germany where I worked in the performance team optimizing Mannesmann's Arcor billing system before leaving to Switzerland where I now work as System Administrator, Troubleshooter, Middleware specialist and Network Services integrator.Projects I have been involved in include pioneering e-payment and e-banking at the Swiss Post, managing the Department of Justice applications and handling interconnection issues with the Schengen/Interpol systems. I spent 12 years in charge of EDI and Syrius ASE technical aspects at Visana, a major Swiss Krankenkasse. There I got to master what I now describe as system ergonomics. I have now been outsourced to InventX AG… to be continued.In parallel, I worked as a journalist, I directed movies which I also edited and mastered to DVD, practiced as a musician with small Gregorian vocal ensembles, rock bands, electronic acts or massive orchesters.These days, I communicate in 4 languages on a daily basis, have lived and worked in 4 countries and keep on discovering amazing new stuff, including living off the nature and getting things fixed manually. I also spend my time composing and playing odd music, experimentally cooking, reading past classics and getting used to the idea that no one’s to live forever, so Carpe Diem.BTW, I have just gotten my first 3D printer and have been dedicating much time solving real-life problems using CAD and a calliper. I kinda like how it leads me to think spatially. Maybe, my mid-20s motto still aplies: "Artists call me a nerd, Nerds call me an artist".Specialties: Troubleshooting, system ergonomics, bug-tracking, reverse-engineering, scripting, middleware, production, automation, performance testing, hack, Internet, media contents, event organization and support...

  • Swiss Federal Department Of Justice And Police
    Portal & Middleware Manager
    Swiss Federal Department Of Justice And Police Nov 2008 - Aug 2011

    I spent there 3 years, working as a Senior Systemspezialist / Team Leader for the Portal & Middleware Team. As well as providing 3rd level support for our customer base, my duties consisted of application and server management. We maintained EJPD's Single Sign-On Portal (more than 50 thousands visitors each day) from the Swiss Dept of Justice, the Swiss Federal police, the Swiss Cantonal polices, Schengen member countries polices and Interpol. We also took an extensive care of all the Unix/Java applications which are made available through the portal.Whilst attempting to stick to the ITIL v3 model (I got an ITIL Foundation certificate in March 2011), we were monitoring the various components of our software infrastructure, operating and maintaining them in cooperation with the R&D groups. We were also in charge of the various SLA Reports aimed at the upper management.This position also involved many direct contacts with the connected offices and, because of the highly sensitive environments that are managed, rigorous discipline as well as lots of night/week-end presence.
  • Watching America
    Translator
    Watching America Aug 2008 - Mar 2009
    The American people are seen as often over-informed but rarely from outside, which make them vulnerable to partial thus bogus approaches. I like the idea of filling this important gap in public information which is the reason why I applied to contribute to this excellent initiative by translating either German or French press articles dealing with American matters as seen from abroad.

As the B.I.T. is a federal office, I was working with huge systems which dealt with any Federal matter, such as Tax, Customs, Topography, Accounting and Transportation. The systems I administered were mostly Linux-based (even though I also happen to deal with AIX, HP-UX, Tru64, Windows Server and Solaris). The applications they ran could be based on any combination of PHP/MySQL, Apache, Samba, WebLogic, Tomcat, but also proprietary developments or Perl scripts. While occupying this position, I developed numerous Perl scripts or Ajax applications in order to enhance my group's productivity. These were warmly received by their users who qualified them as elegant, secure and "a joy to use".

    I worked in the String/Performance Tests Team where I was expected to get a complete third millenium telecom billing system up and running and to improve its performance until it met the client's requirements. This task involved 3 weeks of experimentation in HP's test laboratories, in Böblingen (Germany) where I developped a distributed Java-enabled monitoring language to access all the messages queues from a single browser window.I also ported the complete system to HP-UX 11 after adapting and recompiling it to the newest HP ANSI C++ compiler : aCC. This involved much low-level work like libraries (RogueWave, Orbix...) recompilation. I also implemented changes in the build scripts in order to use new features (incremental linker, precompiled headers.I finally maintained the event correction process within a development team and I developed an Intranet database monitoring application to make my work easier.
