OBJECTIVE:
Seeking position as software Engineer in a good organization.
EXPERIENCE:
08/00-08/01: Research Assistant, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, University of
Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
Development of a World Wide Web-based laboratory for a class in computer systems
performance evaluation: The goal of this project was to develop a distributed, easy to use, virtual–
laboratory component that would enhance the quality of education that students get and could conduct
experiments and actively learn the concepts of computer system performance evaluation away from the
actual laboratory. The system was coded in Java and HTML.
08/01-Present: Research Assistant, Center for Marine Sciences and Technology,
University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
Application of High-Resolution Satellite-Derived Sea Surface Temperature Data for
Improved Management and Forecasting of Atlantic Mackerel, Scomber scombrus, Habitat and Predation
Impact Off the East Coast of the United States: This project involves working with applying highresolution satellite-derived SST data to improve management and forecasting of Atlantic Mackerel using
ArcGis and Matlab.
08/01-03/02: Thesis, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, University of Massachusetts,
Dartmouth.
Development of an efficient method for processing remote-sensing satellite data: The
objective was to develop an efficient method for processing remote-sensing satellite data using complex
valued artificial neurons as an approach to the problems associated with specific tasks of computer vision region identification and classification - as they are applied to satellite data.
EDUCATION:

PROJECTS ACCOMPLISHED:
1) Development of a layered half-duplex communication software: This project involves the development
of C code to support a half-duplex layered communication system. The objective is to implement layers 1,
1
2, 3 and 4 of the OSI system using some existing interface protocols. Part of this work involves the
development of peer-to-peer protocols.
2) Development of audio streaming application with existing freeware on the Internet, to carry out real time
audio streaming. The project also involved simulation of Internet traffic in different load conditions to carry
out performance evaluation of the system and to conclude whether the current Internet supports the
application.
3) Development of a TFTP server: The objective was to write a UDP based TFTP server. The server was
able to handle read requests that use transfer mode “octet”. The focus of this project was UDP
programming, including timeouts and retransmissions. The server works with standard TFTP clients.
4) Automatic network topology discovery in Java: The aim of the project is to obtain the topology of a
network, get the Subnet masks etc, given the range of IP addresses of the network.
5) Development of a proxy HTTP server: The objective was to write a proxy HTTP server that was able to
handle GET, HEAD, and POST requests sent by a client speaking HTTP version1.0 or 1.1. The proxy
server worked with any HTTP client (browser), and was tested with a custom HTTP client written only for
the test purpose.
6) Development of a World Wide Web-based laboratory for a class in computer systems performance
evaluation: The goal of this project was to develop a distributed, easy to use, virtual–laboratory component
that would enhance the quality of education that students get and could conduct experiments and actively
learn the concepts of computer system performance evaluation away from the actual laboratory. The
system was coded in Java and HTML. Operating system concepts like CPU scheduling, Page replacement,
Disk scheduling were implemented.
7) Library database management system: Development of library database management system in Oracle,
with the back end programming in PL/SQL and front end implemented in Java with JDBC for connectivity
to the database.
8) Development of an efficient method for processing remote-sensing satellite data using complex valued
neural networks: The objective was to develop an efficient method for processing remote-sensing satellite
data using complex valued artificial neurons as an approach to the problems associated with specific tasks
of computer vision - region identification and classification - as they are applied to satellite data. Regions
like land, water, and urban roads were classified in Landsat TM image of the Boston region of New
England. The system was coded in matlab.
