Working on traffic and transport modelling, focussing on sustainable mobility. Jointly working with the Oxfordshire County Council to help determine the effect of different traffic measures on modal shift.

My contributions have been in the following projects:TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATIONBTIS - Bangalore Traffic Information Site (www.btis.in):* Consolidated Carpool page* Optimised the bus route algorithm using variant of A-Star algorithm* Enabled better planning of trips through analysis of traffic congestion based on various parameters, such as live bus-speed, mobile tele-density, traffic-camera imagesWhereAreYou (whereareyou.mapunity.in):* Designed and implemented this service to help school-buses, taxis and other essential services to be tracked by users* Included designing an Android application to perform the data providing modulePassenger Information System:* Designed this system to help public transport corporations provide arrival, schedule and route information of buses to the passengersTrack and Trace System:* Developed a for a truck manufacturer enabling the customers to: - Manage vehicles and track their positions geo-spatially - Manage the dynamic registration of routes to trucks based on their daily movement - Analyse the history of truck movement data to determine optimal routes and timings - Trigger alerts based on complex and specific requirements of the vendorsAmbulance Tracking System (ambulancetracker.mapservices.in):* Developed an ambulance tracking system to help the Police aid ambulances in emergency navigate through trafficCorporate Mobility Project:* Analysed the survey responses, juxtaposed with existing public transport routes in the city to help provide recommendations to the public transport authoritiesPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPraja Factory – Citizen Learning Platform (prajafactory.org):* Developing a platform for citizens to collaborate in addressing social problemsBCity - Bangalore Governance Observatory (bcity.in)* Helped design some of the modules in this governance observatory, especially in the heritage section (bangaloreheritage.in)

Developed a new booking system for easier registration.Re-vamped the back-end systems for trekking operations, handling of trek management and communication with trekkers.

Worked on the following products:Catalogue Discovery Engine:* Worked on the architecture and design of retrieval from indexes stored using Lucene, and enabling the renderer to adapt according to the platform at the front-end.* Enabled for WAP, WEB, ASR and IVR platforms using XSL, StAX parser, WURFL data, and extensive use of AJAX.Content Management System:* Used Jackrabbit implementation of the Java Content Repository to maintain the hierarchical database.* Web application developed on the Struts framework.* Implemented data-mining using Weka, which was harnessed to provide auto-suggestions in the system.Recommendation Engine and Ad Server:* Used the MYSQL database, and operations powered by the iBATIS framework.* Distributed running of data-intensive tasks like clustering (KMeans), transaction log processing done using a Hadoop framework.

Worked on a Contract Management module that aimed to provide both buy-side and sell-side solutions to Distribution clients. Brought the product to the market analysis phase and did preliminary business requirements and development of the module.

Developed a few use-cases and executed the same for providing an Australian telecommunication giant with the user-interface for their Business Initiative Management System. I was able to use my creativity to a great extent in creating very user-friendly interfaces using dynamic HTML and support the back-end processing using Java. This project was influential in Infosys being offered another important project from the same client.Involved in the capacity of developer for two projects for a global computer manufacturing giant. Both the projects were enhancements to their order management system. These projects were implemented on a Tandem mainframe using extensive COBOL programming. I used an innovative method to accept the order choices that resulted in a substantial improvement in order time.Led the Defect Prevention team and also acted as a Configuration Controller for all the three projects.
