Yair Altman
If you have reached this page, you are probably aware by now of my reputation in the Matlab community.
With 30 years of professional software development experience in a variety of roles from programmer to top-management, I lead a Matlab-focused consultancy since 2009.
I would be happy to assist your project, by advising on development alternatives and suggested improvements, coaching your team on advanced Matlab topics and best practices, solving a particular problem, designing and/or developing scalable, robust high-performance modules, or even creating entire programs.
As a Physicist and Computer Scientist by education and a software engineer by profession, I’ve already been there and done that plenty of times, and you can benefit from my experience. I have delivered actual working software, completing numerous cycles of the software life-cycle: definition, design, development, integration, testing, deployment, QA, 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.
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 [1], the code I create is very well-documented, fault-tolerant, scalable, backward-compatible (with other platforms and/or releases) and highly performant.

My Matlab specialties include complex algorithms, performance tuning, I/O, GUI, and integration with external software and devices. But even if you have other programming needs, I can probably answer your needs.
I am 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.
I am recognized as a world-class Matlab expert by the Matlab community and by MathWorks itself. I am a long-time consultant/advisor to MathWorks, on a wide variety of topics. Since 2016 I am a member of the MathWorks Community Advisory Board [3] (CAB). I was invited by MathWorks to speak at several Matlab conferences around the world – a video recording of my keynote presentation at the Matlab Expo 2016 [4] in Munich, Germany can be seen on the right. In 2022 MathWorks published a profile interview [5] with me.
[4]I have provided professional Matlab training courses to multiple organizations, and delivered working programs to many dozens of organizations.
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.
My applications were developed for a multitude of fields, ranging from finance, medical, engineering, aerospace, web-applications, real-time systems, and data-analysis.
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. I can provide better cost-effectiveness 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 those few…).
I have done the following for other clients, and would be happy to do similar stuff for you:
- Create a custom GUI component, an analysis function, or an entire Matlab program
- Fix functional bugs, performance bottlenecks and compatibility issues in your existing program
- Improve the appearance, functionality, robustness and performance of your existing program
- Connect your program to a variety of external software, hardware and data services
- Analyze your code for correctness, robustness and potential problems
- Consult on Matlab issues such as version compatibility, GUI roadmap, maintainability and performance
- Produce expert advise on development alternatives and roadmap
- Research potential alternatives for difficult programming tasks
- Generate custom reports on advanced Matlab programming topics
- Provide expert testimonials acceptable by courts of law
- Train you and your team in advanced programming techniques and best practices
[6]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.
