Business Opportunity Finder

Environment: .Net Core, C#, Azure Cosmos Db, Azure Functions, IOS

Outline: Business tenders scanning and selection system for a government contractor enterprise. System was capable to scan business opportunities along with its documents that were published by government on daily basis eliminating manual selection process and making it easy for the company to decide which business opportunity it should pursue. The platform employed Azure Functions to scrap the internet daily for; fetching opportunities new or updated, fetching opportunity's documents, calculating scores based on user preferences, and searching incumbents of previous phases. Application’s backend included .Net Core, Azure Functions, Azure Search while application’s front end included ReactJs and IOS. Cosmos Db was used as database. As a lead software developer, my role included leading backend team, delivering project milestone on time, producing quality outcome, merging code and managing azure pipeline for deployments.

Responsibilities:

Building APIs that involved Azure features like Azure Functions, Azure Search

Document Management System

Environment: .Net Core, C#, Box APIs, MVC, Azure Sql Server

Outline: Multi-tenant document management system designed for Government professionals that involved handling confidential data. It had to be NIST compliant, for that purpose BOX APIs were used for managing documents. The purpose of the project was to enable users upload files that required security and confidentiality. Azure Active directory was used for user management. The project was highly research oriented. Developed several POCs on BOX APIs. Also, WOPI (Web application Open Platform Interface) protocol was implemented to view/edit office files to avoid office license cost. MVC framework was used for the development along with Sql Server as database.

Responsibilities:

Researching Box APIs and their integration with the system

Implementing offline message and comment module

Created several small POCs with Box APIs for folder, files and other features

Research for web scraping module, azure functions and azure search modules

Shipping Portal

Environment: C#, Web Services, Sql Server

Outline: Online shipping portal, designed to enable shippers ship their cargo from one point to another. Several carriers were combined on one platform so that a shipper can get an idea which carrier can ship package in shortest time or which carrier can ship package with lowest rates. Based on its need, a shipper could select suitable carrier. All carrier specific rules related to routing, rating, tracking and package validations were implemented in a class library project and were made available through APIs. Most of the major carriers like UPS, FedEx, and USPS etc. were implemented. Each carrier specific logic was taken up as a standalone project and once all rules were implemented and tested, it was integrated to the existing API project, so it could be called from front end. Project’s front end was built on ASP.Net web forms while backend had APIs. As a team lead, my role was to analyze requirements, implement and review/merge code into main repository after passing QA.

Responsibilities:

Leading backend carrier implementation module
