Alan Mendelevich has been developing software for a living for more than 15 years. He is a Microsoft MVP in Windows Development. Back in 2003, Alan was on the bleeding edge of web development when he created one of the first web-based HTML WYSIWYG editors called SPAW Editor. Later on, he moved his focus to the back-end, then to native client development, and then to running a startup. Alan has delivered talks at multiple events in the US, UK, Scandinavia, Baltics, Balkans, Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere. Recently he returned to the front-end web development fold and is helping his friends at amCharts with developer outreach and data visualization content.
