AG «Courier» www.zauralmedia.ru

System administrator, Developer.

June 2000 — July 2001.

Maintained a small network of non-linear video editing PC stations. Also wrote software for internal use.

Designed and implemented a small CRM-style tool in PHP. Designed and implemented a roll titles editor application for TV broadcasting. Reverse engineered binary storage format used by the broadcasting hardware. Editor software allows a human operator to enter many entries, enable and disable them based on given schedule, and generate dumps for given set of dates in video broadcasting hardware supported format. It is used to organize and simplify maintenance of roll titles by keeping an archive, automatically expiring entries, and allowing quick search and replace within an archive. Usability was of high concern during design phase - operator has to enter up to as many as 500 entries in one run, hence things like keyboard shortcuts, dictionary-based autocompletion, quick search and replace were implemented.
