“Yair knows to share his enormous Matlab knowledge in a very efficient and flexible way. The training was structured very well and contained a good and detailed introduction in object oriented Matlab programming. At the same time it contained a huge amount of new ideas and new knowledge for experienced object oriented Matlab programmers. Additionally we got hundreds of ideas to improve the performance, robustness and GUI programming. After two days of training and few days of work we improved the GUI and the performance of parts of our software dramatically. And there are many ideas of improvement left. Yair is extremely fast in understanding our needs and additionally he is a very nice guy. His collaboration in specifying the software he will write for us and his training were a real pleasure for us. Thank you Yair.”

“We hired Yair after two failed attempts with other programming firms. Yair delivered a professional application that is superior to anything else in the market, and cost us a fraction of what the other firms charged. Yair is extremely responsive, often providing fixes or improvements within hours if not days, without unnecessary paperwork or chitchat. He understands finance and trading better than any other programmer we ever met, and easily bridges the gap between user requirements and coding. His program now does in a few minutes and with higher accuracy, what would have previously taken us a full day of manual work. We strongly recommend Yair for any programming work.”

“Octahedron (Yair and his staff) have been a tremendous asset to Flightware in two MATLAB software development projects spanning three years. This was a complex project involving hardware, hardware integration and development of software to perform many functions with a high level of reliability. Not only did Octahedron perform its tasks very well, it did so as one of three MATLAB teams working collaboratively on different tasks across ten time zones. Coordination was performed weekly over two years and Yair and company were always innovative, dedicated and cooperative, often suggesting novel and effective solutions to problems encountered. Not only that, but he is, as he himself states, truly a nice guy.”

“I had a short consultancy with Yair when he was in Italy. He answered all my questions and showed me code examples and online references to get more information online. I got numerous suggestions on how to prevent errors, improving compiled applications, using java interfaces, and many suggestions on how to improve the quality of my work. After a few questions and answers I simply said: “Yair, this is the software I’m selling, how can I improve it ?” – the audio recording is still on my desktop to this day for reference. I think that this consultancy saved me about 2 months of work, including days when the compiled application does not work properly for some arcane reason. I also appreciated very much his passion and his easy and pleasant approach.” (additional details)

“We recently completed a project with Yair developing a program to help my team automate the processing, analysis and reporting of data. The project started off as a way to automate one simple but tedious task. Once we realized Yair’s mastery of MatLab, we quickly took advantage of his potential to design a custom program that now saves every member on my team ~30 minutes of non-value-added work every day. Yair was communicative and helpful, and worked with me to make suggestions and implement features that I hadn’t even thought about myself. This has been a very valuable experience for myself and my entire team.”
– Travis Jennings, Thermo Fisher Scientific (USA) |
