Project Name: Business Process Management (Internship) August 2010 - June 2011

Client: IL&FS Education and Technology Services

Tools Used: Java, JavaScript, LDAP, Apache Tomcat, XPDL, JPEd, jQuery, Sonar, Maven

Project Description:

A complete Leave Management System was required initially to IETS with all mandatory features. We

along with our guide initially planned the Application flow and fixed a platform for designing.

This application was designed to integrate with the CSC – Common Service Center for project tracking

purpose but later on, the organization required the same application with some customization in

features and also required for other new projects of their clients.

In order to meet the above requirements guide suggested us to work on Work flow engines. Workflow

engines are used to automate easily any process. Thus, we started evaluating other business process

managements in the open source market and finalized Joget Workflow Engine.

EDUCATION:

Bachelor of Engineering (Information Science) from Siddaganga Institute of Technology

(Affiliated to VTU), INDIA - 2011
