Soft_tech Computer Ltd. (Anand, India) Aug 1993 – April 1995

Title: Programmer Analyst

Role and Responsibilities:

• Designed and implemented a “Universal Repository” to convert a temporary and circular

database to a permanent format. This program was an integral part of a large “Trend Analysis”

the following features:

o Aging. In order for data to be kept “manageable” and to save disk space, aging was

performed on the data. This means that certain operations like compression or deletion

could be performed on data older than a certain “rule”.

o Definition of rules. User could define rules for aging.

o Scheduler. The “Universal repository” could run on a scheduled basis.
