Percentage: 79.00
Graduate Record Examination General Test: Total Score=2020. Verbal=680, Quantitative=710, Analytical=630.
National Centre for Software Technology E level Examination: Standard Score=132, Percentile=88th.
Institution: Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay.
Development Platform: C++ on MS-DOS.
Details: The project was centered around the development of key modules like the lexical analyser, the parser, the machine code generation and the implementation routines.
My Contribution:Apart from the obvious coding I was instrumental in laying the design framework of the project specifically about the lexical analyser, the parser and the method of execution of the implementation routines.
Institution: National Centre for Software Technology, Mumbai.
Development Platform: C on GNU/Linux and HP-UX.
Details: The project requirement was to implement the execution of the programs present on the system and inclusion of features like piping, I/O redirection, Appending and Background processes.
My Contribution: I designed the overall system and did most of the coding.
Institution: D. J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai.
Development Platform: C on MS-DOS.
Details: We had to simulate the look and feel of the Pac-Man game.We completed the graphical framework of the game and achieved limited sucess in making the entities move.
My Contribution: I helped in the coding of a few functions.
Institution: Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay.
Development Platform: C++ on GNU/Linux.
Details: We are supposed to implement the interpreter by using the modules provided by the underlying DBMS code.End result will be a interpreter capable of executing simple SQL queries.
My Contribution:I am involved in the day to day development of the program and sorting out design issues.I single handedly did the coding to implement a majority of the features of the program.
Data Mining and Data Warehousing: Presented as part of the IEEE 360 Degrees Paper Contest.The Paper was selected for the final presentation. I pursued this topic because information retrieval is at the heart of any business today.
Classroom Seminar,Protocols in Serial Communication: I was required to explain the operation of TCP/IP, Ethernet 802.3, Toen Ring, Point to Point Protocol (PPP).
Classroom Seminar,Fuzzy Logic: I was required to explain concepts of fuzzy logic as it formed part of our course-work.
Development Platforms: C, C++, Java2, 8086, 80386, 8051 Assembly, Pascal, GW-Basic.
Operating Systems: GNU/Linux, HP-UX, BeOS, Microsoft Windows 9x, Microsoft DOS.
Compiler Writing Tools: AT & T Lex, AT & T Yacc, GNU-Flex, GNU-Bison.
Internet Development: HTML 4.0, PHP 4.
Concepts and Paradigms: Object Oriented Programming, Database Systems, Circuit and Packet Switched Networks, Computer Organization and Operating Systems.
I am interested in finding out cost effective solutions to tricky real life situations. As an Electronics Engineering graduate I had to write programs which simulate complex systems like the Intel 80960MC. I can visualize and draw inter-relationships between various modules of the system. Information retrieval techniques have become sofisticated and therefore I would like to learn about and work on the development of these techniques. Information retrieval should be possible not only at the local level but also at a global level which means I should have hands on experience of working in a networked environment. I would like to add value to my career by working on and developing networking applications.
