Consulting

If you have reached this page, you are probably aware by now of my reputation in the Matlab community.

After over 20 years of software development in a variety of roles from programmer to top-management, I currently consult software development projects. I would be happy to assist your project, by either solving a particular problem or in designing and/or developing scalable, robust high-performance modules or even entire applications.

My Matlab specialties include performance tuning, I/O, GUI, integration with Java, ActiveX, hardware and other externals. But even if you have other programming needs, I can probably answer your needs.

I’m a good programmer. I’m an expert Matlab programmer, with plenty of experience in Java, C, C++, Fortran and perhaps a dozen other programming languages. I’ve programmed on a dozen Windows and Unix systems, as well as some real-time and embedded systems. I have worked with Oracle, MySQL, SQLServer and several other databases.

Knowing the ins-and-outs of Matlab, I can often deliver a working solution in a fraction of time that it would take a non-expert programmer.

I have delivered actual working software, completing numerous cycles of the software life-cycle: definition, design, development, integration, testing, deployment, training, and maintenance. I can help your project in any or all stages of its development, from concept definition, through design, development and all the way to maintenance and bug fixing.

My applications were developed for a multitude of fields, ranging from finance, medical, engineering, aerospace, web-applications, real-time systems, and data-analysis.

I get things done: I deliver on time, on budget, with extremely high quality and attention to detail and with excellent communication. As evidenced by my popular and highly-rated utilities on the Matlab File Exchange, the code I create is very well-documented, fault-tolerant, scalable, backward-compatible (with other platforms and/or releases) and performant.

As evidenced by some of my clients, I also get consistently high rating from clients. In fact, most of my revenues come from repeat clients – this attests more than anything else to their level of satisfaction.

With my experience, I can provide extremely reliable and professional software, very quickly, for a very competitive cost. My products are top quality, and developed extremely fast. Without meaning to sound pompous, I believe that I can provide a better cost-benefit ratio than many full-time Matlab programmers. In fact, I can do stuff that few other Matlab programmers in the world know is even possible (keep reading this blog and you might be one of them…).

I am quite flexible in the consulting mechanism:

• I can work remotely, or at your location, or in combination
• I can work on retainer basis, or T&M (hourly/daily fee), or a fixed-price proposal, or in combination
• I can deliver everything at once, or divide the work into milestone steps

- You are in the lead, and you can decide based on your specific needs.

I hold a BSc in Physics and an MSc in Computer Science, both of them Summa Cum Laude and top of class.

I’m a nice guy altogether.
