EXPERIENCE:

Introduction: it is always hard to write an adequate text describing your involvement into different projects, so the text below is a mix of a) my believes on what I was doing b) managers expectations based on formal description of responsibilities and c) actual work I had to do.

Jun 1999 – Present CODA Eesti (former Simple Concepts Eesti), Tallinn, Estonia

Software Architect

First of all I am responsible for defining the overall software architecture of products. Thereafter I get functional specification from business analysts and discuss those to ensure feasibility and applicability within current architecture, programming language and interface logic. Finally develop the overall software design, transfer them to the developers and lead the developing process including code writing and checking/reviewing what was written by others. The side responsibility is to develop the initial project schedule basing on high level estimation I should define by functional specification (partial or full).

Project Lead / Project Manager

Work was divided into areas of responsibilities. For some projects I was responsible for product management: have created project plan and project charter. Besides I have formalised the product management and documents required for software implementation. The second responsibility area was system design where UML is used to design object-oriented software. The last responsibility was team leader. As developer I have released some most important and complex features like strong math algorithm for payments clearance (netting). As leader I was responsible for monitoring others code and work. My project manager belongs to the mother company (before: Simple concepts Scandinavia (Stockholm), now CODA)

Projects:

The branch is responsible for Microsoft technology based product. Some products use RDS technology to communication to application server, why other web services. End user interface include both standard Windows desktop one and Web UI.

Group consolidation product: Created business process model, system design and architecture, database architecture with Rational Rose (UML/OMT method). Software consists of Windows style explorer with exe modules. Companies in many countries use software through Web. Developed in both VB6.0 and VB.Net 2005 (the product is still evolving in both languages).
Payments clearance product and liquidity planning: Payments netting system for OCRA. Developed algorithm consists of building payments graph. Original algorithm was developed for decreasing number/amount of payments.
Cash flow analysis product. Product management and design was built accordingly to Synergy process using iterations (Project Charter, UML diagrams etc). Project schedule: using MS Project. Design: using Rational Rose.
Business processes (process cycle) product: Software design (including architecture) and implementation with a group of developers (leading those) using .Net C# 2003/2005. Project schedule: using MS Project.

At the moment information system consist of car, civil and traffic insurance claims handling software, claims register and some other points. During project was implemented data warehousing base: there was collected data from two joined companies and more than 5 insurance types). Information system increased productivity at 200%. Data mining from data warehouse found more than 20 new patterns of clients and markets.

Responsibility:

Manager: Developed company info strategy, resources using plan, program writing schedule.
System designer: Created business models; have done System Analysis (OMT/UML/MSF) and Design; Database Design.
Released three-tier architecture using COM objects (with MTS).
Used Rapid technology for software implementation

Aug. 1996 – Nov. 1997 Nordika Insurance Co., Tallinn, Estonia

Software Engineer

Developed some parts of Nordika Insurance company information system. All parts were built as integrated blocks and one part includes database store with about 800 000 records.
