Entry Level Programmer I
Provided guidance for computer science students in their projects
(C, Java, assembly language)
Involved in developing software and applications and participated throughout the software development life cycle
Newly designed and developed the entire web application for KBP College of Engineering.
• This application provides internal email system for students, faculty and staff.
• Provide a portal where students submit assignments, share class notes by faculty and some other features.
It was a team project and I was hired on contract.
Academic Projects
Job Interviewing System using (AI) backward chaining algorithm
This is a system which uses intelligent search “Backward chaining algorithm” and gives the best match result on the basis
of job description. This algorithm proves its efficiency than ordinary search algorithms. To implement this project I chose C
language.
TOH using Heuristic function and Intelligent Searches
Developed and designed a “Heuristic function” to obtain the most efficient solution for “Tower of Hanoi” problem. This
algorithm is tested up to 30 disks, which provides the best result in terms of execution time and the path for final destination. It is
implemented in C.
Improve performance of SCTP (Currently working, not complete yet)
Planning to analyze the designed structure of SCTP protocol and make some modifications to improve its performance,
efficiency and make it more beneficial and usable. To do this we choose C and CentOS kernel.
VOICE Controlled System (Exploratory)
By using “Microsoft speech SDK 5.1” and C# we engineered the excellent application which controls the computer on user’s
voice command. Application designed to replace mouse and keyboard which resulting highly beneficial for handicapped users.
We replaced almost 80% windows operating system’s command on VOICE. The most of the commands are redirected to the
*.DLL files
Web Applications
During bachelors and masters degree courses developed and created number of web application using ASP.NET with C# language
where I used MySQL, and MS SQL to fulfill the database requirements.
Exploratory Projects:
8085 Simulator with other peripheral IC’s Emulation (Microprocessor)
This simulator has the ability to simulate all 8085’s Instruction set. Its design made it the best for beginner. It shows 8085’s
architecture and how it executes. Further, users use an in built editor to build programs. In the second part, users can construct circuit on
“Circuit Grid Editor” and simulate that circuit too. To develop this project I choose core JAVA, and used specific concept of Data Structure,
OOP’s, and Computer Algorithms.(Version I is in Turbo C 3.0 with Borland Graphics driver)
Lab Maintenance Wizard
I used concepts of Networking and Database. This application used to authenticate users, calculate the Lab’s usage,
etc. I developed a custom log in window at client’s side, while server’s side program has tasks for transmit receive information
with clients. I implemented this is in C#.NET. (First version was in C)
Game Programming (C and Java): UNO, Sudoku, Heart7, Rummy, and Picture Puzzle etc.
Engineered solutions to critical logical problems and introduced best self thinking computer algorithms to compete person
as an opponent in the game. These applications have attractive Graphics Algorithms, and series of complex mathematical and
logical operations.
