Certifications

Zend Certification (2012) - Z END018595

Other Projects:

Job Crawler: T he crawler (currently) indexes jobs on Dice, Stackoverflow and Indeed. It categorizes them based on salary, location and skills. It also learns new skills from the jobs it comes across so it can look out for them in job descriptions with unstructured data. Quizzy: A multiplayer quiz game that uses AngularJS, Bootstrap and Ruby on Rails. All the players in a quiz room are shown questions at the same time and whoever answers it first gets the point. Everything in this game happens in real time. Travel Abroad: Client wanted a website where his customers could book flights. The site needed to have the capability to list highly discounted prices only for his corporate customers

(PHP, MySQL, Sabre SOAP API, Zend Framework 1).

Remote Controlled Extension Cord: An extension cord that can be turned on and off from a PC or a remote control. I used an RF receiver from a remote controlled car and hooked it to Arduino, which was hooked to a relay. The relay turned the extension cord on and off. Thus, controlling appliances attached to the extension cord. Remote Controlled Curtain opener: The idea of this project was to be able to control any regular curtain in an inexpensive way. The curtain controller was a servo attached to a shaft that had threads attached to it. The other end of the threads was attached to a curtain. When the curtains needed to be opened, all you had to do was press some buttons on the keyboard of a PC or a remote control. As long as the buttons were pressed, the curtain would keep closing or opening. So, it was possible to partially open or close the curtains.
