  Projects• Airline Fleet Scheduling System - This project required developing a solution which could create a schedule, over a period of time for a fleet of n aircrafts. The client was an airline giant from the Middle East. It was soon discovered to be an NP hard problem (in computational complexity theory). Such problems usually do not have a solution and even if they do, it's not possible to find it in polynomial time. • EMSFDC - It was being developed for the Emergency Services Department of the government of United States. The system consisted of exactly identical Windows Forms and ASP.NET Web applications. The Windows Forms application was designed to be run on regular PCs whereas the Web application was meant for hand held devices. This meant whenever any change was to be implemented, it was to be done in both the versions. I worked on designing and bug fixing the Windows application as well as its database.• A reporting tool from LogiXML - This assignment required the design and development of a reporting system which would meet certain custom requirements of the EMSFDC project. Logi Report was a free web based reporting tool, based on XML. It had little to do with programming and was more about designing.Highlights• Part of the algorithm design team, also responsible for the GUI.• Worked on designing and bug fixing the Windows application as well as its database.

Some such other activities I've been a part of, at Accent were installation and configuration of eCommerce PHP scripts, such as Zen Cart and Megento for overseas clients. This involved configuration and maintenance of web servers, database servers, DNS servers among other network configurations. These constituted my secondary responsibilities.• Database Designing, Troubleshooting and Normalization / Denormalization• A number of database development projects would go on in parallel at Accent. My responsibilities also involved database designing, normalization / denormalization of existing databases, fixing bugs and implementing post developmental changes based on updated specifications, on such projects. Although most of these projects were Windows Forms applications, they gave me good exposure to database programming. Show less
