I lead 14 developers 8 QA engineers and a lab manager developing 3 different products.• Was hired as the first employee to build the open platform section from the ground up • Leading the products architecture design and requirements• Defining the group processes – development life cycle, unit test in code, builds procedures etc. (the performance evaluation process I developed is been widely used by groups in Comverse and Netapp today)• Coding and debug - solving problems / helping the development efforts (about 15% of my time)The products: • MARS: a generic media server, manage media services for the current and the future Comverse applications (support for VXML applications). MARS supports Comverse main application (Trilog – VoiceMail application) MARS Interfaces – with DSP cards for the telephony network (E1/T1), to signaling (SIP + SS7), File services like ASR, TTS, Web server etc. MARS was developed as an audio server for Trilog, due to company direction shift MARS was chosen as the next platform for video and converted to a more generic platform in two months• MTS: transcoding manager, convert audio and images (in the future video) between formats / codecs.• STRIMM: developed as part of a platform to stream and transcode (on-line) from e-mail and MMS servers to handsets clients –multi media files (MPEG4/2…). From August 2001 to June 2004 (2 years 11 months) Tel Aviv IsraelVP of engineering and CTO @ BrowseUp BrowseUp developed A generic platform that allows user to build smart WWW networks (dynamically learning links) of content on top of any web information. The idea was to separate the link DB from the content, the UI information in web pages for example Air force pilots / instructors can build layers of information that include video, audio, text etc, on top of an aircraft specification without changing the original document, without HTML knowledge , by using drag and drop capabilities and a standard browser – when the spec updated the system will adjust to the new UI page. users can filter / search / browse the information, or can add information if allowed.The product includes: A DB, an application server, search engine, applet (for viewers), upload server, Standalone mail server, advertising server, and a client (include plug-in to explorer) From September 1999 to July 2001 (1 year 11 months) Tel Aviv IsraelDevelopment Team Leader @ RadWare Developing a load balancer (based on a router) for TCP/IP protocols.And a generic web based management platform - Reduced the time to market on new releases of management console from few weeks to few hours From August 1997 to May 1999 (1 year 10 months) Tel Aviv IsraelSr Director of engineering @ Oracle Lead the Oracle Big Data Discovery studio group:Oracle Big Data Discovery is a game-changing product that makes Big Data assets more accessible to more business analysts across the organization. As the “visual face of Hadoop”, this offering will help reduce risks and improve time to value for Big Data projects. Highlights and benefits include:• Customers can Find and Explore Big Data as easily as shopping online:• Users can rapidly Transform and enrich data at scale• Organizations can Discover and Share to find new value: • Everyone can access Big Data: From March 2014 to April 2017 (3 years 2 months) Cambridge MA, USA
