Manage Your Orders: This is the most high traffic area in Amazon.com website in the space

of third party seller order management platform with over few million hits per day across

the world. Completely re-wrote the entire front end with lots of feature enhancements -

presenting a single interface to all different classes of merchants. Developed a new middle

layer to hide the complex dependencies on multiple back end services from the front end,

thus making it very easy to maintain. Also a primary contributor on the back end services

and data model redesign overhaul that is currently under way.

Merchant Payments Data Migration: As a project to move the 3rd party seller at Amazon to a

new, more efficient platform, we needed to migrate their payments data for over 8 years to

a completely new payments model in the new platform. I am one of the few core

developers to handle this big task, including the validation of the migrated data.

Settlement Report Generator: Lead designer and the developer in the ongoing project of writing

a new version of the settlement report generator for sellers at Amazon, which will be a

significantly improved version from the current one in many aspects, and will handle many

shortcomings of the older design.

Summer,

Software Development Engineer Intern, A mazon.com, Seattle, WA

2005

As a summer intern, developed a backend service to store and retrieve ui level preferences

for 3rd party sellers at Amazon.com. That service is still in use today, and serves thousands

of requests per minute.

SMTSIM: As an integrated part of the research based course work in the Advanced Computer

Selected

Architecture course, worked on the SMTSIM package which is a cycle accurate simulator for SMT

Projects

processors and extended it to evaluate the performance gain from our proposed modification of the

cache of the processor.

Fracture Simulation: As a course project in the Special Topics in Computer Science (CS 291) course,

developed a system to simulate and render fracture of brittle materials following few recent research

papers. The implementations, screenshots and videos are available in the academics section of my

homepage.

Web Server: As a course project in the Computer Communication Networks (CSE222A) developed

an HTTP web server for both Linux and Windows. It had support for performance evaluation logging

and access control over directories and files.

Weathering Simulation: As a course project of CSE272: Advanced Appearance Modeling, worked

on developing a shader using Kubelka-Munk and Torrent-Sparrow model to perform realistic

rendering of natural decay events, such as rusting and weathering.

Ray Tracer: Developed a ray tracer from scratch that is capable of Global Illumination with photon

mapping, soft shadows, area/directional lights, anti-aliasing, bump-mapping texturing, Fresnel

refraction, several acceleration structures including Adaptive Grids an Bounding Volume Hierarchy.

Using this ray tracer rendered a scene that won the first prize in UCSD Computer Graphics Rendering

Competition 2004.

3D Reconstruction: As a course project, developed (using MATLAB) a system that can reconstruct

3D objects from multiple views of the object.

Character Recognition: As a course project of a Computer Vision course, developed system to

recognize Hindi (Devanagari) letters. It uses a back propagation neural network based approach as well

as a decision tree approach.

First position in the Rendering Competition of CSE168 at UCSD. (Spring 2004).
