Assisted with development of the LinqToStdf (on GitHub, formerly CodePlex), a library for reading and writing Standard Test Datalog Format (STDF) files. This file type is typically used in semiconductor testing, representing the data record of measured test results of manufactured product, as tested on Automated Test Equipment (ATE). Mark Miller was the primary developer, and we shared an unrealized passion for this project back when we worked together in Breakaway Test at Freescale Semiconductor. This represented a from-scratch reimagining of an STDF processor written with the .NET Language Integrated Query framework. LinqToStdf has been used professionally at Freescale Semiconductor and National Instruments.

Part-time freelance writing and business analysis pertaining to investing in specific stocks, under the moniker TMFSelzhanik. As a part of the Community Analyst Team, I contributed to analysis and community discussion of companies recommended by the newsletters of The Motley Fool, specifically Stock Advisor and Rule Breakers.Warren Buffett once said, "I am a better investor because I am a businessman and a better businessman because I am an investor," and I have found that so true. Analyzing companies from the outside, with an owner's mindset, has helped me understand how my own can be more successful. I had the pleasure of joining a small number of TMF colleagues meeting and interviewing Mr. Buffet and Mr. Munger in Omaha, at a press-only session held during the break of their annual stockholder's meeting and Q&A session. Stock investing and analysis, prior to this work and after, continues to be a passion, despite not having enough time to continue my contributions at fool.com.

Developed quote and order entry software for ESCO Industries and deployed it to their 5 facilities located throughout the country. This automated invoicing, sales reporting, and materials requirement planning, all previously done on paper.
