Software Engineering Experience

Questrade Financial Group (QTG Core Systems Engineering)
Projects: "IQManager" (GUI for Questrade agents (Qt)), "IQ" (servers (C++17)),
"mforders-updater" microservice (TypeScript, NestJS).

Individual Subprojects from Scratch

1. Integration of "gRPC" framework and "Google Protocol Buffers" into "IQ":
• POC of integration,
• Building related libraries and integrating into makefiles of "IQ",
• Automation of integration process (Bash),
• Development of "RequesterConfig" shared module, which responsible for parameter
name creation at
compile time (for reading parameters from configs and creating "gRPC" related staff)
(C++17).
2. Integration of "Google Cloud Pub/Sub" into "IQ":
• POC of integration,
• Building "pubsub.proto" and dependent proto files with "protoc", ordering generated
C++ sources,
integrating into makefiles of "IQ",
• Automation of integration process (Bash),
• Acknowledgement (ack/nack) system development for "IQ" "Google Cloud Pub/Sub"
message bus (C++17).
3. Integration of "Google Secret Manager" into "IQ":
• POC of integration,
• Building "secretmanager.proto" and dependent proto files with "protoc",
• Automation of integration process (Bash),
• Development of "SecretRetriever" shared module, which responsible for retrieving
secrets from cloud and
storing in shared container (C++17, gRPC).
4. Development of "CurlRequester" shared module, which wraps "libcurl" C library. Module
was used for
transferring data to Cloud (C++17, libcurl).
5. Development of
• "mforders-updater" microservice, which responsible for receiving mutual fund orders
from client (via gRPC),
storing data in its own "MySQL" database, sending data to third-party (via REST API),
receiving and
processing response and sending processed response back to the client,
• Client ("Back Office" server, "Mutual Fund Orders" domain), which responsible for
retrieving and filtering
mutual fund order related data from "MSSQL" database, sending to "mforders-
updater", receiving back
processed response and sending response to GUI (via dedicated service) (C++17),
• GUI, which responsible for choosing and sending mutual fund orders to "Back Office"
server (via dedicated
service), receiving and showing response in appropriate GUI column (Qt).
Solution allows multiple clients to send multiple mutual fund orders simultaneously
(sync issues solved at
database level in microservice)
6. Integration of "Salesforce":
• Sending data from the "Back Office" server ("Risk Communication" domain) to
"Salesforce" (via REST API)
using the "CurlRequester" wrapper.
7. Integration of "Conan Package Manager":
• POC of integration,
• Creation of technical documentation for the integration of "Conan Package Manager".
Shared Projects
1. "Back Office" server and "IQManager":
• Maintenance, improvements, refactoring, redesigning, bug fixing, sanitizing, profiling
(C++17),
• Owning "Mutual Fund Orders" and "Risk Communication" domains (C++17).
2. "IQGateway" server:
• Maintenance, improvements, refactoring, redesign, bug fixing, sanitizing, profiling (C+
+17),
• Redesigning and refactoring of "Publishers and Consumers" framework (C++17),
• Bug fixing in "Publishers and Consumers" framework (crashes, sync issues with
database) (C++17).
3. "Alert" server:
• "Custom Alerts Publisher" (initial stage of design),
• "Smart Alerts Publisher" (initial stage of design).
4. "Server" framework:
• Bug fixing (leak detections with "Google Sanitizers" and fixing) (C++17),
• Optimizations by applying move semantics (C++17).
5. Complete codebase migration to new "RHEL" and new "GCC":
• Automation of Google libraries building process (Bash),
• Warning/error fixing for new "GCC".

Mentor, A Siemens Business, now: Siemens EDA (Siemens Digital Industries

Software)
Projects: "Nitro-SoC", "Сalibre".

Individual Subprojects from Scratch

1. Implementation of "TEST_REPORT_STATISTICS", which measures running time and
memory usage for some
"Nitro-SoC" commands (Tcl).

Shared Projects
1. Transition from custom containers to STL containers in "Verilog Reader" (done in 8
stages). At each stage, the
running time of the "read_verilog" command was measured using
"TEST_REPORT_STATISTICS".
An ~20% improvement in running time was achieved (C++11).
2. The Verilog lexer has been completely rewritten and new test cases have been
introduced (Lex).
3. The Verilog parser was completely rewritten, all ambiguities and conflicts were
eliminated, new test cases were
introduced (Yacc).
4. "Verilog Reader" has been improved to detect new errors and warnings (Lex/Yacc).
5. "Verilog Reader" has been improved to recognize syntax and semantic errors (Lex/Yacc).
6. An attempt to replace the Verilog parser of "Nitro-SoC" with a third-party parser (C++11).
7. Proposal for improving the "Nitro-SoC" output writer module (generic programming) (C+
+11).
8. Experience with "Calibre Interactive", "Calibre RVE", "Calibre DesignREV", "SVRF",
"TVF", "DRC" rule checks,
"DFM" rule checks.

Math Experience
1. Development of automated solutions for dynamic one-parameter matrix equations
(dissertation work) (C++11).
2. Solutions of different types of matrix equations based on the corresponding spectral
models based on
G.E. Pukhov’s differential transforms (dissertation work) (C++11).
3. Implementation of methods for solving "Silvester-type" matrix equations (dissertation
work) (C++11).
4. Implementation of methods for solving "Riccati-type" matrix equations (dissertation
work) (C++11).
5. The implementation and comparison of two-phase simplex and ellipsoid methods (thesis
work) (C++11).
6. Comparative analysis of several methods for building characteristic polynomial of matrix
(diploma work)
(C++11).
