I am working as a Graduate Research Assistant (PhD) in the department of Computer Science, Columbia University, New York City. I am a member of the database research group and am currently working on some view maintenance problems using SYBASE as a platform for my experiments.

B.S in Computer Science from Indian Instiute of Technology, Madras, India in 1995.

Operating Systems: SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.x, BSD, DOS.

Languages: C, Pascal, Lisp, C++, 80x86 assembly

Databases: Worked on Oracle and Sybase.

A database for library management using Oracle RDBMS. Included in it were provisions for maintaining details of faculty, students and employees. Retrieval and updation was made possible through a friendly user interface implemented using SQL-Forms.

Implementation of some of the routing algorithms for the Network Layer. This was done as part of a project to develop a layered protocol suite confirming to the OSI model.

A compiler for a subset of the Pascal programming language using the compiler building tools lex and yacc.

A mathematical package for scientific use. This included matrix operations, curve fitting, interpolation, integration, calculator, graph plotter, solving equations using Newton-Raphson method, solving simultaneous linear equations, fft among others. Among the facilities provided were a friendly user interface and editing, loading and saving files.

Design of an 8031-based card that receives data from an RS232C serial port and transfers data to a parallel printer port (Centronics interface).

I have done the following in DOS environment

- A memory testing worm that checks a segment by replicating itself.

- A utility which provides file transfer, talk between two PC's connected by serial port with a friendly interface to set the baudrate and other parameters.

- A restricted DOS-like operating system using BIOS calls. It comes up before DOS and provides a monitor for viewing/modifying registers/memory locations in addition to handling the disk operations, loading and executing an executable file in a controlled way.

- A TSR Alarm program
