• My business unit in Mail.ru was named "Instant Messengers", we are working on the most popular IMs in Russia: Mail.ru Agent and ICQ for iOS platform.
• Our team consisted of
• 6 IOS developers
• product manager
• designer
• QA engineer.
• I also had a close contact with Mac OS X developers team cause we are sharing the same code base.
• The first version of our application had been released before I joined the team, so I have to deal with a lot of legacy code. The issue is that this code contains some nasty bugs. Cause of my experience of multithread programming and my C/C++ background, my main task is to solve all these concurrency and memory management issues.
• My main responsibilities were the refactoring of our program core in order to fix bugs, improve program architecture and make the core stable. I was also involved in a code review process which was used in our team.

• I became a product manager in SUP Media cause I was thinking it would become a step forward in my experience of understanding the software development process.
• My responsibilities were to search for subcontractors for our mobile application projects, to describe tasks for them and write specifications and to control the process of their work and results.
• I was not disappointed - this position gave me an excellent experience, but not exactly in the area I wished.
