Work Experience (in reverse chronological order)
Founded Gamealoon.com which is a platform that enables users to voice their opinion for their favorite video games and in return they earn XP which help them level up and earn rank in Gamealoon Network. Also Gamealoon features a Twitter like social network where users follow other users/games to receive their feeds in their activity stream. Started working on it from 1st May, 2013 after I had to quit my previous job because of meeting an unfortunate knee accident and undergoing a surgery which left me immobilized for quite some time. Video gaming and computer science is a passion and being frequent follower of video gaming entertainment and media websites (such as IGN.com and Gamespot.com), I came up with the idea of Gamealoon. Problem with the above systems was that those websites are totally critic driven and centralized system where users hardly get any opportunity to voice their opinions(although they provide options as User reviews and forums but then again users take a back-seat). So drawing some inspiration from IMDB.com, twitter, facebook and the above mentioned problem area, I came up with Gamealoon.com. Technically speaking, Gamealoon is broken into two sub-applications which talk to each other in RESTful way. The backend REST API service is written in Java (Play Framework 2.2.1) and MongoDB acts as the main application database. This service exposes JSON which is consumed by front end browser app which has been written in Python (Web.py). UI has been implemented in HTML5, CSS3 and jquery. So, in short the whole app can be termed as MCCV - Model-Controller (Java) and Controller-view (Python). The purpose for this design is that in future for other platform apps (i.e, mobile, consoles, etc.) only the front end needs to be created. The media uploading system has been implemented with the help of Amazon S3 (S3 is used as the media storage for Gamealoon). A custom weighted average based Ranking algorithm has been written for calculation of Game's final score which takes in consideration many things like Post quality, user's importance, etc. To check out the system, please visit
www.gamealoon.com. I use GIT for version controlling. This application is hosted on a virtual linux box which runs CentOS. The Java app is running on Play's default web-server application whereas the Python based browser app is served by lightpd.

Worked as Associate Software Engineer in FirstRain India pvt. ltd. I was part of content engineering team of the company. It is mostly an R&D division. Goal of this division is to come up with systems that help us analyze and make some sense out of data. Was building a system that will help in detecting anomalies in information generated by the product (i.e., FirstRain itself) and help in achieving the desired quality from content perspective. The technology that I was working with was groovy programming language and Grails framework. Along with it I have single handedly developed an internal product, customer implementation system, which is two-pronged in nature. First, it acts an interface to the company's customer support group who use it to feed and store some relevant data, which is then extracted and fed to Salesforce CRM in JSON form via a service API. Secondly, this system helps in generating a centralized repository/DB with which various departments can interact, again via same API. I used grails framework to develop this.

Project Experience (in reverse chronological order)
Gamealoon.com
May 2013- Jan 2014
A platform where gamers from all around the world can come and write short and crisp reviews for their favorite games, share news from other web sources, share youtube videos and generally blog about video games. In return, users are awarded with Experience Points (XP) which help them level up and earn Rank in Gamealoon Network. Also, this system features a Twitter-esque social network in which user can follow other users/games and their feeds show up in user's activity stream.
Architecture wise, this system is broken into sub-systems as backend service server- written in Java (Play Framework 2.2.1) and Mongo Db acting as the App database) which behaves like a JSON exposing API which is consumed by the Front-end server which has been written in Python(Web.py). For UI, HTML5, CSS3 and Jquery is used.

Content Assessment Framework
On Going
This is a major internal system that has been built to assess the data which is provided via company's main product, FirstRain. It detects anomalies and reports them. Future goal of the project is that it "fixes" the anomalies by itself, which is done manually now. The main product has many components via which data is exposed such as mail, portal, mobile apps, feeds and embedded components. This system currently works for the mail component, which is the most important component. I rewrote the architecture of the existing system in grails as well as implemented criticality calculation algorithm which was developed by our team to rate anomalies. Main challenge with this system is that it process huge amount of data in one day.
Customer implementation system (internal product for FirstRain)
Jan 1st ,2013 - Feb 1st, 2013
The goal of the system is to provide the company's internal customer support group team an interface via which they can feed and store information related to various clients/accounts. Before the implementation of this system, they used to store everything in Excel and used to do it manually. What this system does that it provides a form based interface to CSG team via which they fill in the data which is then stored in a Mysql DB. Then, a service API exposes the data via various API calls which are used by Salesforce CRM. This API is generic in nature as it returns a JSON. Note, this is not a REST API as this doesn't comply with the HTP REST specification and does not return appropriate response success and failure code.
Android application using Google Location services, Google map api and Sqlite3's FTS technology
https://play.google.com/s...
May 29th, 2012 - Jul 11th, 2012
The goal is to detect nearby locations based on user's current location. User can mark location as favorite, contact the place by calling up the place. User can add, edit and delete place. The system generates list of places sorted by distance nearby to user. Distance is calculated in runtime. Planning to integrate Foursquare social network service into in upcoming updates.
