Evgeny popov - RESTFest/2012-greenville GitHub Wiki

I am a co-founder and the CEO of APIphany, a startup company located in Washington D.C. APIphany offers a cloud-based Web API management solution that transforms businesses into business platforms powered by APIs.

I’ve been in IT for more than 15 years in roles ranging from a software developer to a head of a software development practice at a consulting company. I helped design and lead development traditional enterprise and highly scalable cloud-based systems. Experiences with the latter led to a product idea and to a startup company, APIphany. Although my current role is less technical, I try to find time for hacking when I can.

I was born on the Sakhalin Island in Russian Far East and moved to Siberia to obtain a master's degree in physics and computer science. I moved to USA at age 24 to explore new opportunities.

Besides technology I like snowboarding, judo, BMW cars, and IPAs

Proposed Talk

Title Make OData based API more palatable for your developers
Level Five In Five
Abstract Although OData APIs enable powerful and flexible access to data, they have somewhat complicated and visually unattractive URL query syntax. It might detract some developers and make a learning curve a bit steep for others. During this short presentation I will present an approach, based on a real-life API implementation, that addresses the above issue without compromising API's power and flexibility.
