* Designed and developed two web-based tools to help optometrists in the diagnostics and early detection of eye diseases. The primary challenge in this project was to make the tools compatible with a wide range of browsers and versions - IE8+, Firefox and Chrome. These tools are deployed and used in all polyclinics in Singapore. The web app was developed using HTML5, javascript (jquery, fabric, raphael, and paper) and CSS.* Designed and developed a AWS-based system for intelligent glaucoma screening. Interfaced with domain-specific image pattern recognition system developed using MATLAB and executed using MCR. Built the frontend, backend components and a REST API. The software stack used include LAMP, PHP, CakePHP, HTML5, CSS, javascript, and jquery. The solution was deployed using EC2 and RDS in AWS. Developed an Android app that can upload eye images to the database, initiate detection process and display diagnostic results using the REST API.

* Developed a sentiment analysis system for mining twitter and other selected forums & blogs which supported RSS. The system comprised of both web-based and CLI-based components. The CLI component was developed using PERL and performed real-time data acquisition, sentiment analysis and stored the results in a MySQL database. The web-based component allowed users to generate statistics, visualisation of sentiments in any stored time range. Software stack includes HTML, javascript, amcharts, CSS and was deployed on a windows server using XAMPP stack.* Developed a real-time trends analysis system for the IPTV platform. Reused components from the sentiment-analysis system which resulted in significant time and cost savings. The data was indexed using Apache lucene zend framework. Full-text search was implemented using Apache solr framework. The system was used in generating personalized LIME HTML pages for news content for the IPTV platform.

* Designed and developed a web-based healthcare platform for remote diagnostics and telemedicine services. The system enabled multiple healthcare professionals to simultaneously access patient data such as sleep/wake patterns, patient profile, comments, visualize real-time body vitals, high-level activity and statistical graphs. The system was developed using web 2.0 tools & techniques and used LAMP stack, PHP, CodeIgniter, HTML, javascript, amcharts and CSS. Re-architected the healthcare platform to be cloud-compatible and deployed the same in AWS using EC2 and RDS. Successfully completed clinical trials in 1 year.

* Designed and developed a bioinformatics data pipeline that ingested, curated and presented domain-specific information to biologists. The data was ingested from academic publications and other web-based sources like NCBI and PubMed. The curation process involved performing data wrangling and analysis. The output was presented using a web-based methods.* This web-based system and associated data pipeline enabled biologists to search academically-validated information about curated genes, their SNPs and any encoded proteins along with their structural and functional information. The system was developed using LAMP stack, Perl, HTML, Javascript and CSS.* Built a web application that allowed users to use our proprietary C++-based data analytics engine, codenamed iDIG (Intelligent Data Driven Insight Generator). The input to the app was CSV file and output was statistics & visualisations. Technologies used include LAMP stack, PHP, CakePHP, HTML5, javascript, amCharts and CSS.* Developed several other web apps designed to identify various biological data artifacts from public molecular sequence databases.
