About Vladimir Katardjiev

Developing new and useful software solutions that make for an easier, better, and more interesting life. Making software that just works, does its task, and gets out of the way when it is not needed. Working with a team to ensure the best possible end-to-end experience, ensuring we have everything working from a rock-solid server side, reliable links with backups and redundancy, and a silky-smooth client experience.I have crafted numerous applications for Ericsson, highlighting multi-device interaction and integration, early demonstrations of real-time, netwok-exposed web applications, web/native application performance and WebRTC demonstrations and use cases.Powering these applications, I have extensively used Java servers, with the occasional node or C/C++ based ones, having dealt with concurrency, load and optimisation, with some of the servers handling millions of clients every day.Versed in many forms of programming, but my most recently used ones are Java (6,7,8), JavaScript, C/C++/ObjC and HTML/CSS markup. Insert usual accompanying toolings (XCode, Eclipse, Git, Make, Maven.), SQL and NoSQL, and the requisite scripting that you can never get away from.
