Oracle databases to generate technical carts like Candlestick, Finance 
bars etc. The Charts were sent to an HTTP web server and then onto the 
users browser applications.
	Responsibilities included, modifying an existing plotting package 
and extending it to create custom charts, building an application 
programming interface (API) to the package for web developers, profiling 
the program and performance tuning, generating a call flow diagram of the 
program (40,000+ lines of C code) and documenting its various modules.  I 
also extended the system to generate different file output types like 
GIF.

Project:	Financial and Physical Monitoring System.
Role:	Systems Admin./Project Lead
Duration:	April 1995 - Nov. �96.
Description:	Led a team of three to develop the software.  This entailed 
software specification, requirement analysis, design, and documentation.  
Programming was done using C, C++, Pro*C and Shell Scripts.  The work 
encompasses setting up of the environment for optimum results. 
It involved collection of financial and physical progress figures under 
various heads of offices.  Monthly and yearly reports are generated 
comparing the targets and corresponding achievements.  The finance issued 
and the physical progress thus made in various categories is monitored 
and analyzed.  Also, the accounts of various banks are automatically 
maintained.  ORACLE is used as a back-end and Power Builder as the front-
end.  The OS is SCO-UNIX.

interface part of the Computer Aided Instructions (CAI) package for 
teaching various aspects of Quantum Mechanics for undergraduate student.  
Incorporated bar menus, pull-down menus, context sensitive help, data 
dictionary, definition, and etc.  Also, developed the graphical portion 
of the package.  Ported the software from Windows environment to SCO-UNIX 
environment.  On UNIX, CURSES was the tool used for interface development 
and graphics.  Borland C++ was used.

Project:	Fuzzy Logic Control for Cement Kiln,
Role: 	Engineer
Duration: 	Jan. �92 - May �92
Description:	Complex industrial processes such as batch chemical 
reactors, blast furnaces, cement kilns are difficult processes to 
control. An alternative approach used is the �rule of thumb� which an 
experienced operator employs.  The operators controlled actions are more 
often than not very erratic, inconsistent, because of imprecise nature of 
the human behavior.  It is here that the theory of fuzzy logic sets and 
algorithms are used.  Porting of the software from DOS to transputer 
environment. Tools and platform were C, Borland C++, DOS, and INMOS T800 
OCCAM, PAR C

Organization: 	Department of Electronics, (DoE), New Delhi, 
India	
Project: 	Graphics Libraries
Duration:	July �90 - Jan. �92
Role:	Software Engineer
Description:	The InMOS transputer family is a range of system components 
each of which combine the processing, memory and inter-connection in a 
single VLSI chip.  This was an UNESCO aided project to develop process 
control system.  Graphics libraries were developed as tools for 
generating the Graphics Editor to be incorporated in the system.
Developed libraries and functions for viz., Video Control, Color 
manipulations, pixel, line, 2D figures, translation, scaling and rotation 
etc. applied to 2D figures. Tools used were  C, DOS, INMOS T800, OCCAM, 
PAR C
