Software is about helping people get more done, easier, faster, and with less hassle; when you get down to it, software is where people and
technology meet.
Creating quality software isn't easy; It requires foresight, patience, honesty, and a commitment to quality ; It is about a team, the ability to talk to people, and the ability to listen; It requires you to clearly think about the details at hand, while keeping the big picture clear in your head.
Quality software is the right solution for the right problem. It is robust, understandable, efficient, and easy to change.
It provides a reliable and simple conceptual model to the user and developer alike; It is built with care and attention to details.

Software. It's what I do.
Let me introduce myself: my name is Yaniv Pessach and I've been a software professional for the last 13 years.
I started out in commercial software design as a C++ developer and later a technical lead in the Israeli Defence Force.
My next position was in Comverse Infosystems. As a C++ Team lead in a client/server product client/server, I was responsible for the all client applications architecture, networking infrastructure, and common Windows UI frameworks used in the AudioDisk client.
My next stopover was as a development manager for Amdocs Inc, where I was responsible for the middleware translating external protocols used by telephony maker and the internal billing system.
I joined Microsoft five years ago as a program manager in the Visual Studio team, and helped ship Visual Studio 7.0. That was when C# entered my life...
My next project was in the Windows Networking team, where I implemented the UPnP eventing Pub/Sub, and design a patented P2P Distributed Search algorithm.
These days, I am a software design engineer in Indigo, Microsoft's future web services platform. This is my most exciting project yet, and has given me the chance to participate in designing and building a world-class messaging system, contribute to industry standards, author or co-author of several additional patent applications, and apply myself to application design, network protocols and application performance.
I carry three primary software-related certification: MCSD.NET (Microsoft Certified Solution Developer), PMP (Project Management Professional) and Certified ScrumMaster
Magazine Articles Published
Optimizing .NET applications for hyperthreading:
This article, published in MSDN Magazine June 2005, explains the Hyperthreading CPU feature, and gives perscriptive advice on how to take advantage of it to enhance your application performance and responsivity.
This article was also cited in Jeffrey Richter's article: Cuncurrent Affairs, and cited in Wikipedia.org's hyperthreading entry.
UDP Delivers - the advantages of using UDP:
This article, published in MSDN Magazine February 2006, discusses the UDP protocol usability, and demonstrates two ways to implement a protocol using UDP on .NET - either using managed sockets or using Windows Communication Foundation.
Contributions to Industry Standards
SOAP-over-UDP:
A web services specification describing how to format SOAP when transferred
over a UDP/IP transport layer
WS-Discovery:
A a web services specification describing how web services can be dynamically discovered
Patents Applied For
Efficient and secure search in peer-to-peer networks:
This patent describes a system and method to establishing peer to peer networks and ensure efficient, low cpu, low bandwidth and stable searches, and outlines how to protect those networks from a variety of DoS and other attack. The link points to the USPTO patent application
