Project Financial Markets
Duration: April 08 – Aug 09
Project Description: Financial Markets (FM) is an application which is used by the broker s for pricing mortgage
.When a loan number is supplied as input FM checks with loan origination system LPS (mainframe system) if it is a
valid loan number FM downloads the data and then the user can modify the loan or price the loan by supplying
additional input parameters, If a loan is changed FM will re price it by sending the values to the pricing engine and will
retrieve a range of values (interest rates) for the supplied parameters then the user can from these values. After
choosing the pricing the broker can manually override the rate using the manual over ride feature of FM. The manual
over ride feature allows a price that was send from the pricing engine to be changed by a certain margin by FM
by using some additional parameters.

Project PUFFY (PaytableManager) and FundsTranferFramework
Duration: Sept 06 – March 08
Project Description: VGT is one of the leading manufacturers of games for Class II and emerging gaming markets.
The manufacturer of Live Call Bingo®, the top earning, bingo based Class II gaming platform for Native American
casinos, VGT's gaming platforms are known for their reliability, service and un matched player appeal. Because of the
demand in the market VGT designed new games and wanted to modify the existing games for this the major task were
to stream line the process of Paytable (determine when a customer wins and how much is to be paid out) creation .The
objective of the Puffy project is to have optimized paytable the Paytable creation, change the data format of the
paytable to .xml..In order to achieve these two separate tools, a client side component and a server side component
were designed and developed and integrated into the existing system. The VGT game platform works on a distributed
computing model using TCP/IP sockets for communication between client and server and various protocols to
communicate with the back ends. The Game server hosts Services (SOA) .The Paytables were in text format were
converted into .xml, a tool was developed in C# to generate the xml style paytables, another tool was developed to sign
the paytables and insert into the database server. A client side component was developed using the VGTCOM (this is
VGT specific COM infrastructure in C a server side component was developed for retrieving the data from
database and send it back to the client on a hit.
Paytable Server: This server is responsible for processing, persisting and tunneling the appropriate paytable data to the
client with an IP look up scheme for the registered clients. The server supports stateless transactions and is developed
to be highly scalable.
Funds TransferFramework: This project was designed and implemented to encapsulate the functionality of transferring
money or credits in or out of the player terminal and also to add the capability of electronic transfers,the money can be
transferred in or out the player terminals using any of the listed methods( directly inserting or via transfers).The
business logic or the processing of the money was done by a Bank component and the transactions were through
channels, this was a multi threaded architecture which supports concurrency in operations and windows
synchronization primitives were used to synchronize various transactions.
Technical Environment: VC++, C++, STL, COM, C#, XML, Webservices, MFC, Oracle 10g.

Client: Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA
Project Orders NT
Duration: Oct 05 – Sept 06
Project Description: Orders NT is an Order Management system, which is used to manage both medication and test
orders in the outpatient setting for the world renowned mayo clinic. Orders Nt has associated tools which can be used
to print the EMSRS and the prescriptions. Orders Nt manages the confidential information of the patients and it has a
validation service to validate the correctness of the data .The validation services uses the historic data in the data store.
This data store that is created by Orders Nt is used by various other applications to display data. Orders Nt has the
built in intelligence to recognize if a medication can be prescribed with DEA number only (restricted drug) and also to
know if a particular test need preparation and also if the combinations of tests can be performed. Orders NT also
manages the scheduling information and prints on the EMSRs where the test can be performed, and uploads the orders
to the Database (data store) from where the scheduling applications pick up the data. Orders Nt is multi threaded
application which has various user friendly features.The user management and department management features are
very important .The department feature is the one which allows a particular department to have a certain test which
only be performed by a particular department .If a user from a particular department log in then Orders Nt will display
only the relevant information for that department, the test etc. Orders Nt also allows users to group a set of tests and put
it under a button which are called the Hot buttons so with one click of that button all the test under that category will be
ordered.
