Why me?
I have delivered actual working software, completing numerous cycles of the software life-cycle: definition, design, development, integration, deployment, QA, training, and maintenance. My training classes are not purely-academic in nature, but emphasize real-life software development tradeoffs and engineering considerations. I’ve been there, done that, and have already been burned plenty of times – you can now benefit from all this experience at the convenience of your meeting room.
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. I will teach you how to write similarly useful and high-quality Matlab code.
In addition to the training classes, I would be happy to work with your team, at your location, on your coding project(s), giving advise and helping with the development.
To complement my training services, I also offer consulting and software development on a contract basis, possibly also at your location.

Testimonials
“I want to thank you again for the course here! It was very inspiring to me and I learned some really interesting things. To be honest, I wish I would have holidays now to try out a few things you mentioned. The people really liked it, regarding different aspects (Content, Trainer and Documentation)!”
- Markus Daehler, ABB (Switzerland)“Yair Altman is a real “Matlab Technologist”. He knows and understands Matlab from the ground up and especially specializes in advanced topics such as Java connectivity, GUI, Matlab performance and Object Oriented. Yair’s training is very recommended and after it, you feel like a new world of Matlab techniques is revealed to you.”
- Lior Cohen, Applied Materials (Israel)“Yair is the undisputed guru for anything to do with MATLAB’s undocumented features and Java integration. He has helped me many times with seemingly intractable MATLAB GUI issues. His thorough, exhaustively researched and well written blog is must reading for anyone who needs to go beyond the basics when designing powerful, full featured MATLAB user interfaces.”
- Matthew Whitaker, Radiological Imaging Technology Inc. (USA)“I worked with Yair both on development projects and tailored Matlab advanced training. On both occasions it has been a great pleasure and great experience. His knowledge of the inner workings of Matlab in general, and Matlab-Java interface is unbelievable. Matlab beginners as well as very experienced users will immensely benefit from his training. I feel very much enriched from this experience… wonderful!
In the complex project we carried out together, I was truly amazed by how quickly and precisely he grasped all the specifications… and how fast he delivered! I highly recommend his services.”
- Cristiano Migliorini, Union Bancaire Privée (Switzerland)
