Yaniv's Career
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 manager 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.

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.

Later on, I worked on Indigo (.NET WCF), 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 also spent a couple of years software consulting (software engineering, architecture, and agile development), and worked on Amazon's massively-distributed S3 distributed storage service.

These days, I am a development manager for Medio, a mobile-search company.

I carry three primary software-related certification: MCSD.NET (Microsoft Certified Solution Developer), PMP (Project Management Professional) and Certified ScrumMaster
