 I oversee product development at APIphany, a startup company located in Washington D.C. APIphany offers a cloud-based Web API management solution that enables customers to move from having a web service to having a robust and scalable API product quickly and risk-free. I've worked in the industry for over 20 years as a developer and architect. Last ten years I spent at Microsoft in the Developer and Platform Evangelism group. Prior to Microsoft, I developed software solutions in a number of domains, including terminal guidance systems, real-time image processing and recognition, document imaging, securities governance, supply chain management, insurance, and fixed asset accounting. Throughout my career, I worked on a diverse array of hardware ranging from such exotic things as Inmos Transputers and specialized vector processors to VAXes, and of course personal computers, using a variety of programming languages and frameworks. I was born and grew up in Moscow and moved to the United States in 1993. In addition to Web, REST, and APIs I love food, books (especially history), listening to tech podcasts, travel, and hiking. |

| Title | If OData is the solution, what is the problem? |
| Level |  |
| Abstract | The Open Data Protocol (OData) builds on HTTP, AtomPub, and JSON and is used to expose and access data on the web in a RESTful way. Initially designed and implemented by Microsoft, it was recently submitted to the OASIS. In the course of five minutes I will attempt to provide a brief introduction to OData and share a few of my thoughts about it. |
