WORK EXPERIENCE:

-

Technical Trainer,

Sun Educational Services. Teach Sun certifying courses, interests in

core Java, iPlanet and Netscape Application Server Technologies.

(Dec 2000-Present)

answerthink-

Consultant,

Commerce Applications.

Completed certifying training in Developing Apps with iPlanet Application

Server 6.0. Focus on B2B and B2C strategy, front end and API

development, coding and implementation. E-Marketplaces, eCommerce supply

Dept of Computer and Information

Science, Univ of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia - Software

Programmer.

As part of a 4 member project group, developed a model retail auction

(C2C) web application Dreamland. Assisted the group design the framework

and individually coded (java) a powerful internal search engine, a digital

watermaking scheme to protect auction items using inverse fourier

transforms, graphical software integration to a thin client architecture

for viewing real time auction charts/graphs, and generic Java servlets.

Implemented an Apache web server, PostgreSql server with a JDBC driver, a

Squid proxy server and a Linux based firewall & OS. After completion of

web development, in phase II the group successfully model tested (use

cases) standard auction protocols like open cry, counterintuitive, Dutch

and Scaled bid auctions by incorporating business process flow model into

Java based testing algorithms.(Jan 2000-June 2000).

IBM-ACE Center, Dhaka,Bangladesh -

Instructor

Taught parts of IBM-ACEs (part of IBM Global Learning Services, Geneva)

advanced Java curriculum certifying course. Designed and taught a 2 day

training workshop on E-Commerce systems which spanned basic as well

as advanced topics from software engineering white papers and was

presented to a technical group. (July 2000-Oct 2000),

Dept. of Computer and Information Science, Univ. of Pennsylvania -

Graduate Research Assistant.

Wrote a Visual C++ program incorporated with ray-tracing software Povray.

The program simulated a robot's vision. Designed a sensory device to

process these real time images to a control sequence, which manipulated

motion in 3D on an arbitrary rough terrain.(August 1999-June 2000)

Hospital of the Univ of

Pennyslvania, Philadelphia, PA- Software Programmer.

Wrote a Visual Basic 6 program, focus lying on irregular calculation

capabilities and adding a patient database. Program is being used by

medical physicists and doctors at the Hospital of UPENN and elsewhere

in its satellites to treat cancer patients.(February-June 1999), Univ of

Pennsylvania, Philadelphia - .

Responsibilities include assisting professor in grading, writing, proctoring

exams, writing weekly quizzes, holding weekly recitations and lecturing

University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA-

Teaching Assistant. (August 1998-Sept 1999)

Dept of Physics, University of

Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA- Research Assistant.

Of interest to manufactures of beer and shaving cream, worked on an

experiment carrying out the diffusion spectroscopy of wet foam. In

another experiment, devised a method to yield a high population of two

microscopic spheres joined at their surface."Doublets" were used to design

a high precision inferometer sensitive to distances about one-millionths

of an inch. (Sept 1997- May 1998)

Dept of Astronomy, University

of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA- Research Assistant. Used a

Fortran program to compute (numerically integrate) the "Power Spectrum" of

Cold Dark Matter in the early universe.(July - Sept 1998)

Dept of Physics, University

of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA- Research Assistant.

"Smart decoys" emit misleading electromagnetic signals towards ground

based radar detectors. Verified to what extent atmospheric plasma acts

like a mirror, reflecting the radar signal before it can get jammed,

thereby failing the decoy.(Summer 1997)
