We, at Samdim Design, are not newcommers. Being uploading files to avsim.com since 2002, more than 350K downloads so far, several gold medals and a Bravo Zulu award.

 

The AVsim Bravo Zulu (2005) was for the superb Tu-114:

Dimitri also made the model of, sadly never finished, AirSimmer A320. That model was really nice for its time as well.

Samdim, let me also add here that I really love the aesthetics of the way your team has visualized the Q400. Every team has a different approach, all great, but I really like the subtlety in the way you've handled lighting, reflections and texture resolution to achieve a really high-quality look without sinking FSX performance in the process.

 

This balancing act is not something every payware developer masters well every time, despite, I am sure, plenty of attention paid to it during development.

 

Bravo on that front as well!

Highlights



Experience with the wide variety of the applications of IT
During my life practice, I gained the knowledge and experiences  in a wide variety of the applied IT ,  from the radio-electronics manufacturing support, Geo-Spatial management, music and entertainment applications to the analysis, planning and project management of the modern e-business solutions Abstract thinkingAbility to be able to put  the solution architecture in the abstract (functional) manner is the key to the successful technical implementation. Communicative abilities and team workI’m able to properly present my   work in whatever level – functionally or technically, and is capable to communicate with customers as well as team members in  a meaningful , productive manner. Most of the projects, I was responsible for, included a large number of   participants.Extensive tooling I’m able to use the most of the today’s popular  IT  technologies and standards, such as Java (J2EE), Databases (IBM DB2, Oracle, various smaller DBs), Microsoft .NET, application servers (Oracle 9iAS, IBM Websphere, Allaire (Coldfusion) JRun ), numerous popular WebServers, to meet the project goals in time and in budget. Cross-platform knowledgeIn those cases, when the different platforms such as Unix, WinNT or Win2k have to be used for the different phases of project, it is highly important to pay attention to the cross-platform migration issues. I have a record of such a jobs, where the mentioned activity was successfully performedAutonomous workingAt the same time, it is not a problem for me to work autonomously in those cases, when the project framework and expected goals are clearly described. I successfully completed  2 large Software Development projects in this way.Work Experiences
