I led Navayuga Infotech's push into the U.S./North American outsourcing market, establishing partnerships with companies benefiting from NIT's broad and deep range of software development, IT, web, graphic design and GIS skills, experiences and resources.

Vivecon designed, developed, and delivered via SaaS a system for optimizing manufacturing processes using analysis modelling software based on stochastic simulation and optimization technologies.

I designed and developed a real-time business intelligence delivery system that combined a browser-based front end using HTTP and javascript to retrieve news article snippets from the server. The Java-based server accepted real-time newsfeeds from services like Bloomberg News, ran them through a contextual-analysis system to categorize them according to company and topic and stored the results in a database. As and when the user adjusted company and topic preferences and relevance thresholds, the browser application requested updated article snippets. Clicking on a snippet retrieved the full article text for viewing.

I led a team of four in the redesign of a rule-based architecture that aggregated, analyzed and presented results from data sourced in very large conventional RDBMS’s. Composed of a back-end server and front-end grid-based analytic interface, solutions based on this system solved in minutes analyses that typically took work teams weeks or months to produce. Barclays Bank in London used the system to perform 14-dimensional, stochastic simulations of its sovereign debt portfolio under a variety of market conditions. US Patent #5,918,232 “Multidimensional Domain Modeling Method and System” was awarded to the fundamental design principle of the system.

My team developed Pillar's namesake budgeting and planning system. From a Macintosh 4D database prototype, my team designed and developed a C++ implementation that ran on both Mac and Windows, with 90% common code between the two systems. Pillar was acquired by Hyperion Solutions (later acquired by Oracle) in 1994 where the Pillar product line became a $100MM/year line of business.

My two-person team developed the Harvard Project Manager, the first sophisticated PC-based project management system. I expanded the engineering function to include documentation and SQA, and upon HSI’s acquisition by Software Publishing Corp in Mountain View, CA, I and my team were recruited to transfer to and join SPC, where I was an Engineering Section Manager.
