Projects

# Web Application for Click Stream Analysis
    Visual C#.NET, Microsoft SQL Server

While browsing through online product catalogues, the clicks on various items actually indicate users' inclinations towards particular category of products. I designed a web application in Visual C#.NET which will store these clicks information of various users. This information can be used for improving the ranking performed while searching various products online.
 

# Creation of Buffer manager for MINIBASE
   MINIBASE, C++

I created a buffer manager for a database called MINIBASE, which is mainly used in universities for experimental and learning purposes. The buffer manager was capable of handling concurrency control and recovery. The buffer manager was completely implemented using C++ on linux platform.

# Creation of Web Service for accessing Data Mining tool
   JAVA, Apache Tomcat, WEKA

I created a web service using JWSDP 1.6(Java web server developer pack) which was deployed on local server, running Apache Tomcat 5.0. The web service had interface with WEKA libraries, the data mining tool, to run various data mining algorithms on the incoming data which was getting uploaded from clients in XML format. The results produced using WEKA was displayed using web service.

# ARTISAN
   Organization: Mahindra-British Telecom ( Oct 2003 to Nov 2004)
   Oracle 9i PL/SQL, Oracle Web Application Server, UNIX-Shell scripting, JavaScript

The project was done for British Telecom's PSTN Fault Management System called ARTISAN. The system comprised of transaction modules for logging faults in PSTN network spanning over all UK and reporting modules for generating various reports showing performance of the entire system as per the geographical locations. Oracle HTP-HTF packages were used for generating the client side transaction screens and web reports. The stored procedures were written in PL/SQL and UNIX shell script was used to code scheduled processes.
I was involved in Requirement Analysis for Phase 1 of ARTISAN and participated in teleconferences with clients from British Telecom, UK. In Requirement capture, I was involved in building prototypes for client approval and writing Requirement Documents. In later part, I was involved in designing of transaction modules and consequently coding for transaction screens for ARTISAN. The development of procedures for transaction screens was done entirely using Oracle9i - PL/SQL and HTP-HTF packages available with Oracle9i. Java script was used for writing client side scripts. I wrote scheduled processes used for daily, weekly and monthly processing using UNIX shell scripting. I was also involved in system and integration testing of ARTISAN.
When ARTISAN Phase 1 went live then I was involved in on-site support. Looking at the enormous data available in ARTISAN, Phase 1 involved meticulous study of designing efficient online transaction procedures. Performance was one of the main parameter of concern while generating web reports.
 

# ARTISAN - HOAN
   Organization: Mahindra-British Telecom (Nov 2004 to Dec 2004)
   Actuate e.Report Designer Professional

In this project, we worked in different subsystem of ARTISAN called HOAN. The requirement was to develop data warehouse e-reports using a third party tool called Actuate. The tool is capable of generating very complex and attractive web reports efficiently on any underlying database. The tool uses basic like language for coding of e-reports. I was involved in designing and developing simple as well as complex web reports as cross data records using Actuate.

# OpenGL Component Library for Multilingual Applications
   Organization: C-DAC (August 2002 to April 2003)
   VC++, OpenGL (Visual Studio 6.0)

We worked with GIST group, the Multimedia division of C-DAC (Centre for Development and Advanced Computing, Govt. of India), to build a Component Library using VC++ and OpenGL. The component library was developed with an intension to be integrated in a product by C-DAC called MANAS (Multilingual Application for Newsroom Automation System). The components were aimed to generate various kinds of animation effects on text glyphs and 3D objects. Using OpenGL, the components successfully produced high-end graphics and rendering capabilities for VGA and PAL displays. MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) were used to develop User Interface for component library.
I was involved in designing the object oriented structure for component libraries and designing the mathematical functions required to produce the required animations. I also worked on MFC to create user interface for component library. The project design was purposely kept modular as library was meant to work on an interface that will map the graphical effects to the PAL displays.
