designed and implemented

Persistence framework for business objects, which supports one-to-many and many-to-many relations uses different lock modes, caching etc.

Multiple wizards and utilities to simplify team development, for example Business Objects wizard for creating business objects by importing Rational Rose diagrams and providing database-specific information. This wizard allows generating business objects with few mouse clicks.

GUI framework. Designed for using in VAJ, it utilizes all features of VAJ to allow user wire complex UIs with minimal number of connections. As this project has more then 70 complex UIs, using this GUI framework allowed us to create these UIs in almost half the time we expected to spend before we had this library. It widely uses "single wire" schema initially proposed and developed by team of developers (myself included) working in SWH Technology (see below) for IBM.

Currently I'm working on UIs, additional frameworks (help sub-system, report generation framework), system security issues and training materials. Team includes 1 project manager, 7 analysts, 2 database administrators, 4 database programmers, 12 test engineers and 8 Java developers. This project is largest project in insurance industry in California.

JOB DESCRIPTION: Design and implement JavaBeans set for creating help system for Java applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

Within IBM "Java Beans Around The World" (JBAW) project, JHelper is set of JavaBeans/classes, which should be used to create help system in Java applications. Using simple wiring in a JavaBeans tool, user can easily associate an object/event with help context. When an "activation" event is triggered, JHelper can show either hint (ToolTip) for a component, or load HTML document containing appropriate help topic. JHelper includes HelpContext bean and HTMLDisplay bean. HTMLDisplay bean is used to parse/display HTML documents, images and ASCII text. It is very useful when user wants to create own web browser, or provide own GUI for help system etc. HelpContext bean is used to associate an event/component with either HTML document or/and hint, which then can be displayed using HTMLDisplay-based browser environment. JHelper UIs were based on AWT/JDK1.1

COMPANY (CUSTOMER) IBM Corp, U.S.A.

COMPANY (Employer) SWH Technology, Riga, Latvia

JOB: programmer

DURATION: October 1997 - March 1998

PROJECT: Wire-O-Matic.

JOB DESCRIPTION: Design and implement tool for "smart-wiring" of JavaBeans (including SF JavaBeans - see previous project description).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

Within IBM San Francisco Business Objects Framework project team of 2 programmers designed and implemented tool, which is able to automatically wire hundreds of JavaBeans dropped to Wire-O-Matic (WOM) canvas. WOM is included in latest release of SFBOF. The goal of the project was to simplify wiring process between beans. SF itself is very complex framework. API programming is hard with it and requires much time to be spent studying documentation. To simplify use of SFBOF, IBM decided to use JavaBeans technology. Common BusinessObjects were converted/wrapped into JavaBeans. Since SFBOF contains more then 20 thousand BusinessObjects, wiring of applications is still complex enough. WOM can automatically wire Business Objects Beans (BUBs).

Further details of the project are IBM confidential information.

PERSONAL INFO

Name: Maxim Senin

Date of birth:

12/27/1976

Address: 12521 Centralia Street, unit C98, Lakewood, CA 90715, USA

HOBBIES

Programming: I like to write stuff to practice, to verify new ideas etc.

In 1995 I wrote operating system (like Windows 3.1, but kernel was only 75KB):

it's single-user operating system

secured file system with possible encryption of files and directories with user's private key, file compression is possible

runs in protected mode (requires i386 or better - no backwards compatibility)

allows virtual screens (each application may run in window or on separate virtual screen with any resolution)

executes DOS applications in separate virtual machine

File system can be installed on disk (by formatting it), or emulated on file on host operating system (when my OS runs as DOS shell).

no networking support was implemented at that time

Took me almost year to write it, and I didn't find any use for it 'cos Windows 95 arrived on the market; otherwise mine would be one of 1st 32-bit operating systems for PC.

In July 1999 formed a group of enthusiasts to implement fully blown web server in Java (check out http://easythings.iwarp.com/), but for now I'm the only one working on it. Since when doing these two things I was also working and studying, I couldn't spend more then 6-7 hours a week to work on them, but I believe it's great job and challenge for myself. Server supports

Servlets framework version 1.2.1

JSP version 1.0

Server-side includes

Virtual servers (hosts)

Several levels of security

It also includes XML, HTML and JSP parser.

I was also doing web sites for my friends. These web sites are mostly done with ASP (VBScript and JavaScript), but also Servlets 2.0 and JSP 1.0.

I also like Ping-Pong and rollerblading. Play some guitar, trumpet, clarinet and sax
