Personal information
Summary
- Software engineer interested in mobile application development.
I have several popular applications released at Play Store and a few
open source libraries available on Github.
My most notable apps include Calculator++, a scientific calculator with
swipe gestures, and Lexin, an online Swedish-English dictionary.
Two popular open source libraries developed by me are Checkout and
Linear Layout Manager.
I have also published a number of Android-related articles, such as
this (en),
this (ru) and this (ru).
Though now I spend most of my time on developing Android apps, I've
worked for 4 years in Java Enterprise and have some experience in this
area.

ending with refactoring and reviewing the code.

My professional Android experience started at Kaspersky where
I participated in the development of the following apps:

I worked on the application's UI, on a layer between the anti-virus
and the UI and on the communication with the remote server.

Skills
- Programming languages
- Java
- My main programming language that I use every day for almost a decade. I started
as a Java EE developer and during that period I learned a lot about the language,
the virtual machine and their relationship. Later on my focus switched to Android
where I continued (and continue) mastering the language.
Most of my open source projects are written in Java.
- C/C++
- Mostly academic knowledge. Have read some code of Chromium,
have written and debugged a bit of C++ code at Opera Software.
- Python
- If I need scripting I choose Python :)
- Matlab
- Only academic experience. My thesis was written fully in Matlab:
Parameter
estimation of delay differential equations.
- JavaScript/PHP/HTML
- I did some professional frontend development when worked at Short Spb.
Other than that I've designed and developed the current web page and
ka.serova.org web store.
