Smart Link Ltd.

Programmer and Tester

Testing a software-based modem (Modio), Windows 95 Programming. Manual testing

of a soft-modem. Writing test procedures. Programming various utilities in

Visual C++, MFC, and Perl.

I began working at SmartLink as a tester for their software-based modem

which was based on a soundcard and implemented the connection logic and the DSP

in software. I worked with Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR2. When Smart-Link hired

a dedicated and more experienced Q&A Engineer, I became a part-time tester/

high-level programmer/general jack-of-all-trades.

Programmer, WWW Site Maintainer, Limited UNIX Maintenance

HTML composition, CGI programming, TCP/IP client/server programs.

I worked at Cortext as a web-designer and CGI programmer. I worked with HTML,

Apache, Perl, various UNIX flavours (FreeBSD, SunOS 4.1.3, IRIX) and Windows

95 Workstations. Built several sites there, while still using almost exclusively

Perl due to my limited knowledge (at that point) of UNIX.

June 1995 - March 1996

Elpas Electro-optic Systems, Ltd.

Chief Programmer of EIRIS (Elpas Infra-Red Identification System)

Databases, client/server programs (with NetDDE), English/Hebrew

MS-Windows GUI

Elpas developed a network of sensors that was installed in each room of a

building (say a hospital), and received input from infra-red badges. That made

it possible to determine where each person or piece of equipment was located. I

maintained the software that ran on a centralised computer, received the raw

input from the sensors and processed it. My main issue was to replace an SCO

UNIX server software with something internal of our own. We inspected working

with Microsoft Access and ODBC, and eventually realised our own in-memory data

managing was the most suitable solution due to the real-time nature of the

application.

Specialised in Windows (16-bit) Programming, SQL, ODBC, ANSI C and C++. Worked

primarily with Borland C++ 4.5 and the Microsoft Developer Network.
