Developed the application by utilizing ASP.NET.
Responsible for the creation of the user defined
applications, database classes, procedures and user
controls.
Responsible for the testing, fixing the bugs and
troubleshooting the technical problems.
Implemented scripts using Perl for bulk converting
intermediate data tables from one dataset to
internal XML format (gTree) for assisting in data
integration.
Integrated various studies using this newly created
tool and conducted user acceptance testing
sessions.
Modified GUI application according to the users
(clinical analysts) requirements.
ACADEMIC WORK EXPERIENCE
1 Project Use of Normalization and database modeling to
design and implemented a database system -"Tracking
of Dental material orders in a dental facility". (
Department of Biomedical Informatics,, OHSU) Jan
2009 - June 2009
Environment Oracle SQL, ERD,UML
Responsibilities Designed various Use cases of the database.
(Program Analyst) Built data model using ERD and UML data structures.
Normalized the data structure to BCNF (Boyce-Codd
normal form).
Created DDL/DMLs for all the tables.
Analyzed and mined the data in oracle to determine
the efficiency of data structure.

variability of performance.
Cluster analysis of various groups of
radiotherapists depending on the level of the
experience(Experts versus Non experts)
Built an application using Python to calculate
overlapping measures between the images and
evaluative matrices to score radiotherapists
performance by multiple comparisons.
