Note: telecommute, based in Romania.
    • Upgrading and maintaining Delphi applications. Writing components.

    • Using of Delphi 5-9, Vault, Visual SourceSafe, DevEx Quantum grid, FastReport, Indy, TBX, Decision Cube, TeeChartPro, TMS, VCLZip, VirtualTrees, ReportBuilder, XML, XMLPro, ZLIB...

    • Enhanced UI, improved components, optimized code, fixed bugs.

My initial task was to take ownership of a Delphi 5 application, update its UI with new controls and move it to Delphi 7. Later on, many new features were added, bugs were fixed and the application became part of the "IntelliVIEW Suite". More info here. My colleagues were located around the world: India, UK, US, Russia, Bulgaria.
1999-2002
Software Developer
“ICG Research Inc.”, Toronto, Canada
PC-Environment: NT 4.0 - W2K - XP, Delphi 4-5-6
    • Maintaining object-oriented, multithreaded applications, writing Delphi components, experts, DLLs.

    • Using of FlashFiler, Report Builder, Abbrevia, Orpheus, Winshoes, SysTools, AsyncPro, Sleuth QA, Indy, Visual SouceSafe, etc.

    • Enhancing reports, improving components, optimizing code, fixing bugs.

At ICG I was working with a team of 5-6 other developers to maintain a suite of applications, in essence a cost recovery system (monitor and measure costs associated with phone calls, printing, copying, scanning and faxing). Many reports could be created and run using the data collected by the software. Practically existing customers always wanted new reports, and we either added new reports to the applications or we made them possible to be created on site by the customers themselves.
