Re: Letter of recommendation for Mr. Evgeny Tugarev
Geneva, November 12, 2013
To whom it may concern,
Evgeny Tugarev has been working as an project associate in the Desktop Services section of the Internet Services Group
of CERN’s IT department. He stayed in our group from October 15th
, 2004 until March 31st
, 2009. Evgeny was working
in the CERN Web Services team whose role it is to provide a consistent Web hosting infrastructure for the laboratory and
its collaborators. Presently the CERN Web-services operate a range of about 50 Web servers that host about 12000 Web
sites.
Evgeny’s very good technical knowledge and his capability to quickly adapt to new tasks allowed him to contribute
valuably to numerous tangible results during his stay at CERN. The major projects Evgeny was working on were a the
design and implementation of a synchronization tool to save and restore Websites hosted on our Microsoft Internet
Information Services (IIS) infrastructure. The tool recorded the server configuration “meta-base” and the security state of
each site and allowed to perform Internet Information Services disaster recovery. Evgeny was the principle developer of
this successful project. Another large project that Evgeny was working on was the “E-space project” that aimed at
providing a better collaboration environment for the large CERN community based on SharePoint services. The tasks
achieved by Evgeny comprised the complete migration cycle of existing Microsoft Exchange based mailing lists to
SharePoint discussion boards, the implementation of custom SharePoint website provisioning handlers (for more than
1000 sites in 2009), and the important CERN-market application where a smooth migration of the old NNTP buy/sale
board to a SharePont web application was achived. In addition, throughout his stay at CERN, Evgeny participated to all
operational aspects of the CERN Web services and provided highly reliable 3rd
level expert support for CERN users. The
technical environment used for the various developments done by Evgeny comprise .NET, C, C#, SharePoint / MOSS,
and scripting laguages such as PowerShell and VBScript. During all his stay Evgeny also prepared very comprehensive
documentation of his work.
Evgeny is working very well in a team and is also very good in solving tasks autonomously. In all the activities
mentioned above Evgeny has demonstrated his very wide range of knowledge as a computer scientist that allowed him
to quickly adapt to any task assigned to him which he solved in a very dedicated, reliable and systematic way.
Yours sincerely
