  As a skilled professional, I spearheaded a major re-factoring initiative to overhaul the indicative pricing infrastructure, which serves as a critical component in providing real-time approximate values of users’ portfolios. The result of this effort was the successful implementation of a new architecture that increased the number of supported assets by 50x, while improving availability and fully automating configuration for new assets and price sources. Additionally, I have been actively involved in the continuous support and enhancement of fiat payment rails integration. Currently, I am serving as the technical lead on a global payment infrastructure re-architecture project that aims to transform a monolithic payment rail integration service into a fully distributed event-driven plug-and-play ecosystem.

  • Nov 2012 - Dec 2015

  I led a project aimed at studying the mental and emotional state of aircraft pilots. My contributions included the use of advanced statistical and computational maths algorithms for real-time data processing and analysis. Additionally, I designed and developed real-time client and server applications (iOS, Windows, Windows Phone) that enabled pilot's state monitoring during flight simulation sessions through the use of Bluetooth heart rate monitors. Through my efforts, I participated in the Microsoft Imagine Cup international competition in both 2013 and 2014, showcasing my stress monitoring applications for Windows 8 and Windows Phone (http://www.slideshare.net/ypogr/self-tune). In 2014, my team's project was recognised as the National Innovation Winner. I have also presented my research results at various conferences, exhibitions, and technological competitions. Furthermore, I designed and developed an application for cluster analysis of pilot's head- and eye-tracking data, which provided valuable insights into the mental and emotional state of the pilots during flight simulations.
