Work Experience

• Worked as a database systems developer (C & Java) for Oracle India Pvt. Ltd. [Jul ’13 - Ongoing]◦ Developed programs for interfacing Oracle ExaFusion software to Membus communication hardware

for super-fast transfer of data

◦ Modified the Infiniband message passing software to decrease transfer time by sending batch messagesinstead of a single message

◦ Increased stability of database connectivity from web-based clients by duplicating ports on multiplelisteners, thereby increasing redundancy at no extra cost

◦ Enhanced PDB functionality enabling user connectivity to various PDBs using different listeners throughmultiple ports

◦ Added forward listeners to Oracle database for seamless relocation of PDBs

◦ Implemented and tested additional functionality related to Oracle inter-process message transfer ser-vices and listeners & PDBs in the Oracle database

◦ Added test cases in JAVA to validate the correctness of the added code

◦ Solved porting issues that occurred during code transfer from LINUX 64-bit machine to other machines

• Worked as a JAVA-J2EE web developer for Wipro Technologies [Jan ’10 - Jul ’11]◦ Involved in design, development, testing, and providing support to multiple websites

– Developed front-end JSP pages for various websites– Interfaced different websites to a common back-end database

◦ Involved in the development of a gaming website for a pharmaceutical company where users can playa game designed to create awareness about an illness

◦ Analyzed the results to measure the success of the awareness campaign as well as to create single andgroup leader-boards

◦ Headed a team of 5 members to develop a website

– Distributed work among the different team members– Reviewed and performed unit testing on their code

Research Projects

• Testing Correctness of Database Queries and Applications by Generating Datasets for Elimination ofMutants [Autumn ’12 - Spring ’13](M. Tech. Project, Guided by Prof. S. Sudarshan)

◦ Tested database queries for correctness by eliminating mutants (variants) of the given queries◦ Designed and implemented algorithm for generating datasets such that different results are obtained

on execution of the input query and its mutants on the generated datasets◦ Incorporated features which take into account the different clauses of the database query and create

their mutations so that the mutant of the original query is obtained

• Designing Genetic Algorithm for Improving Accuracy of RISE Classifier [Autumn ’08 - Spring ’09](B. Tech. Project, Guided by Prof. Somnath Pal)◦ Designed and implemented a genetic algorithm to improve the accuracy of a set of RISE rules for clas-

sification of discrete data◦ Performed 10-fold cross validation on a discretized data set to obtain the mean accuracy of the final

sets of rules
