2005-2014	at XLAB: design, implementation, deployment and monitoring of a mission critical telemedicine system used in transfusion medicine, design and implementation of an I/O forwarding system for off-the-shelf Linux-based compute clusters (with NEC HPC Europe). design and implementation of high-performance Infiniband network abstraction layer for the Portals 3 communication library (with NEC HPC Europe). port of GNU binutils and GCC to NEC SX vector supercomputer architecture (with NEC HPC Europe). design and implementation of a distributed server architecture and an interactive client for 3D visualisation of geographical data, with data being fetched from the Internet in real time as the user navigates through the environment in order to visualise and inspect results of simulations of natural phenomena (e.g. river flooding, etc.) in realistic environmental context. design and prototype implementation of a framework for dependable service composition in large, globally distributed service-oriented systems in FP6 research project DeDiSys; the framework includes a dependable discovery service and a system for dynamic formation of agreements on non-functional (QoS) properties of the composed services. design of an architecture and data model for a web portal for management of certificates of origin of electrical power traded in local power markets, design of algorithms for specific NP-hard network flow optimization problems used to model prices of electrical power in local power markets, design and implementation of real-time analysis of ECG signal with DSP algorithms, design and implementation of a system for fully automated remote installation of an in-house Debian-based Linux distribution on dedicated servers used by XLab's ISL product. design and implementation of a computer network monitor Argus, used to monitor in-house servers and cluster nodes.
1998-2008	Contributing to the Gnome Project: core developer and maintainer of the GnomeMDI API throughout the 1.x versions of the Gnome core libraries, initial developer and maintainer of GHex, a binary file editor, maintainer of GGV, the Gnome PostScript viewer, contributor to ORBit, a free CORBA 2.2 compliant Object Request Broker then used by Gnome, contributor to Bonobo, the Gnome Component Framework, a myriad of small bug fixes and minor hacks.
2000-2005	at Active Tools: for Axceleon, Inc: design and implementation of the next generation of EnFuzion clustering software, porting and testing EnFuzion on various new combinations of OS and hardware platform, including Linux on IBM zSeries, Linux and HP-UX on Itanium 2 and Linux on AMD Opteron, for IskraTEL, d.o.o.: porting Linux kernel and basic userspace utilities to a custom PowerQuicc III based board; design and development of drivers for the PQ3 network core, design and implementation of a web-based licence management system using MySQL and Apache Tomcat, design and implementation of network backup software for data on embedded telecommunication systems using the Java 2 platform, design and implementation of networking and telecommunications system software running on VxWorks OS, performance analysis of network protocol stacks in Linux and VxWorks operating systems, lecturing IskraTEL developers on embedded and real-time Linux software development, for Turbolinux, Inc.: implemented parts of Turbolinux Cluster Server, designed and implemented Java-based graphical user interface for configuration and monitoring of Turbolinux Cluster Server and Turbolinux EnFuzion.
2002	Designed and implemented a new version of MINT, a UNIX/X11 application for recording and displaying temperature and humidity data from climatic test chambers, featuring better integration with GNOME desktop, enhanced printing and plotting capabilities. This version is used at pharmaceutical company Lek d.d. and has also been validated by the FDA.
1998-2001	Worked part-time at the Jozef Stefan Institute at Department of Digital Communications and Networks, where I have developed a set of tools for visualization and editing of voxel-based 3D models, which were used for displaying and editing a 3D model of human heart, derived from the Visual Human Dataset data. The model was then used for simulation of heat transfer during an open heart surgery.
1999	Reviewed book Writing Gnome Applications (ISBN 0-201-65791-0) by John R. Sheets for Addison Wesley Longman, Inc.
