Hands-On Development
AI Development: Developed AI-App for use with chest radiographs to detect Osteoporosis, and Covid-19. Wrote 110K Lines of code that enabled Covid-19 identification and severity based on a simple chest xray and AI using the Covid-19 X-ray database (>90% success rate).
Transforming ESRI to Cloud: I was asked to come up with an install page/starter page to integrate all of ESRI products. What I came up with was a transformation to cloud, where you could create cloud-based GIS apps similar to how you compose a Gmail. ArcGIS ESRI future changed with this effort.
ESRI Enterprise ADF: TL for a small team that developed The ArcGIS Server geospatial Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) -- a suite of server-side components that provides interoperability, mission-critical support, and secure infrastructure that enable you take advantage of your existing investment in ArcGIS Server. It also enables businesses to interface their existing applications with other businesses. The out-of-the box EJBs provide the framework to build and deploy geographic information system (GIS)-enabled Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications within Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) as well as services to meet a variety of needs using a variety of clients by exposing ArcGIS Server Object functionality.
Oracle Discover for Web: I worked on creation of three tier version of Oracle Discoverer 3i Viewer Edition (Java) -- award-winning application for ad-hoc query, analysis, and reporting solution.
EJB Integration within Oracle Application Server and BIPL: (The OAS Beans Installation Programming Language): I was responsibile for the management framework of EJBs within OracleAS. While working on EJB integration within Oracle Application Server, there was a need to accommodate constant changes in the structure of format of files from the J2EE spec while registering an ejb app with the web application server. I came up with a powerful and expressive macro language to ease the task of generation of .app files, and oasbeani intepreter to intepret this language that would generate several files based on the types the language supports. I built a tools oasbeani, a packager that creates a EJB compliant jar file from a regular jar file. The impact of this language was so huge I didn't even know when I created it. The entire Oracle AppServer tools organisation adopted this as a way to ease management and greatly improved productivity of the entire division.
Open Agent Prototype: Informix New Era supported the division of an app into client and server partitions. When Java hit the market, a push was on to see if we can have a Java application talk to the same server partitions written in C++ and understand issues that come with the implementation of an open agent. From marshaling of data types in multiple data models to "endian" problem to debugging formats & protocols and headers in TCP/IP this was an amazing project of my lifetime. I led the overall development of the prototype partnering with a contractor and my implementation focus was messaging layer and the communication api to and from app server. The tech was demoed at the Informix keynote. Subsequently, I joined the core dev team to transfer the learnings and launch the product. I was awarded the Informix Software DNA Clone Award for implementing a very critical component in Java that manages & caches SQL data with support for transactions & locks for the Informix Universal Server in less than 3 months -- what took 3 engineers an entire year to produce in C/C++.
WISE Web Integrated Software Environment - Developed first web-based software process improvement and metrics tool -- Web Integrated Software Environment (WISE) -- won praise from NASA (Used as a prototype for NASA’s issue tracking and management process on the Earth Observing System Data & Information System & Space Station projects). Released to public domain. My work was also published in the proceedings of IEEE International Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WET ICE).
Application of Fuzzy Neural Network to Medical Diagnosis: My undergraduate was on use of neural network to solve problems in the health tech industry. I found a novel use for Backprogation Algorithm to aid with medical diagnosis and use of fuzzy terms like "mild" cold systems to discover membership functions that in turn could be used for better decision making. I implemented a backpropagation algorirthm using C in partnership with one more student. My inspiration for this was an amazing article I read on Fuzzy logic in the "Byte" magazine.
