6. MAJOR PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS
BEYOND PAYMENT
Proprietary software based on java technologies (J2ME) for mobile platforms.
(Worked in this project during the employment in SDSL)
Utility Features Provisions for prepaid airtime and electricity bill payment and
vendor managements collaborating with Standard bank of South Africa.
Implementation features A two tier Server with JBoss where one tier of the server
is used as a black box and another tier entertain various servlets which are
used by different clients running on three different platforms (J2ME, WEB
and WAP).

7. MAJOR PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS
GRID PLUS
Social networking solution for cell phones and other platforms (Worked in
this project during the employment in SDSL). Key features comprises of
Location based multimedia blips drop and read. For practical purposes it also
serves as a GIS (Geographic Information System) for key areas within
Pretoria and Johannesburg, South Africa. Very Large Scale data has been used
in the back end on the server side.
Separate interfaces are available for three platforms. My work was in the UI
for mobile platform, which was developed using J2ME. The product is later
acquired by Vodacome.

8. MAJOR PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS
BROADWORKS COMMUNICATOR
Worked in this project during the employment in Vonair Inc. Multimedia Soft
phone, A VOIP Soft phone developed for Broad soft ( www.broadsoft.com )
UI layer of the Soft phone Various User Interface components created with the help
of various Java GUI components and their extensions. All the user interface
components are custom built.
SIPMediaEngine Implementation of SIP, TLS, TCP, and UDP protocols with full
RFC compliance using C++
User Interface Layer of the phone is built on top of SIPMediaEngine layers which
provides the functionalities like call start, hold, receive, conference call, audio/
video call, audio/ video codec selection, bandwidth selection. The Java user
interface layer and the C++ MediaEngine Layer communicates through a JNI
(Java Native Interface) Layer. Multiple User Interfaces has been made based on
this MediaEngine.

9. MAJOR PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS
NSCP JOBLINE
A job website for National Society for compliance professionals. In a
nutshell, employers can post job, job seekers can upload resumes, cover letters
along with choosing from a variety of membership plans. PHP in front end
and SQL in back end have been used for this project. Joomla like CMS was
developed for future modification/ maintenance this product.

11. GRADUATE LEVEL RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Detection of duplicates for large web document collection:
Developed a tool for duplicate and near duplicate content detection using java among large
scale web collections, done based on shingling and random projection based techniques.
Users of this tool are allowed to choose from different algorithms and input various
parameters such as the hamming distance, similarity or dissimilarity measure, size of
fingerprints per documents, stemming technique and features of a document to be
considered.
Experimented with java Simhash implementations, shingling techniques and Map Reduce
framework.

12. GRADUATE LEVEL RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Field stream and Autosense:
Two large scale collaborative research projects I have worked on as part of my research
assistantship in WiseMANET lab. http://www.cs.memphis.edu/~santosh/WiseManet/ .
Area of concentration was to conduct research in the field of EMA (ecological
momentary assessment) scheduling to enable timely detection of behavioral events (such
as stress, craving, panic attacks, etc.), and to optimize sampling and wireless
communication to maximize system lifetime.
Details of these projects can be found in the lab website as well as below
https://sites.google.com/site/autosenseproject/
As part of this project worked with SQLite database which is ACID-compliant and
implements most of the SQL standard, using a dynamically and weakly typed SQL syntax.

13. GRADUATE LEVEL RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Motif discovery using Genetic Algorithms:
Graduate level course project in the University of Memphis. Developed this tool in Java
mainly using the open source package JMetal http://jmetal.sourceforge.net/ for genetic
algorithms to identify motif regions in a set of coexpressed genes or DNA Sequences.
Users of this tool can choose the biological data sets and types to be used, the algorithm
to be used (Local Alignment, Global Alignment based techniques) as well as fine tune
various aspects of the genetic algorithm such as whether single objecting or multiple
objective function to be used, the fitness function and its type, mutation rate and crossover
function to be used.

14. GRADUATE LEVEL RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Search Engine for UofM website:
project as a part of Masters class of Information retrieval and web search in the University of
Memphis where theories of information search and retrieval has been applied for the practical
purpose of performing search in the domain of University of Memphis (www.memphis.edu ).
