Advisory Software Engineer IBM Almaden Research Center (Jan 1999 to Current)

Software Engineer NCR Labs (Jan 1998 to Dec 1998)

Educational Qualifications

MS University of Wisconsin – Madison 1998

B. Tech IIT Kharagpur India 1995

 

Technical Qualifications

·      Languages C, C++, Java, Perl, PHP, x86 assembly.

·      Compilers : Visual C++, Borland C++, Visual J++, IBM Visual Age Java, g++, gcc.

·      Systems/Platforms :Amazon EC2/S3, Hadoop, HDFS, HBASE, Websphere, Cognos, IBM Data Warehouse Edition, DB2 LUW, Linux, Xen, VMWare, Sun Solaris/SunOS, HP--UX , DEC OSF/1, SGI IRIX6.4, Cray Unicos, Windows.

Selected Projects

·      SaaS Analytics, IBM Research (Jun 2008 - Current) Designed and implemented the prototype for next-gen Business Intelligence Platform using Software as a Service Model on the cloud infrastructure like Amazon EC2/S3. BI data servers used were IBM Data Warehousing Engine (DWE) and Cognos on Amazon Machine Images, to evaluate issues like multi-tenancy, scale out, ease of management and deployment in that environment.

·      Speedy Point in Time (PIT) Recovery in Databases, IBM Research (Jan 2008 – Current) Working on a prototype of a smart storage controller that is more aware of database objects and their physical layout on devices to eliminate redundant backup images used for PIT recovery.

·      IBM Infosphere Mashuphub, IBM Research (Jan 2006 – May 2008) Designed and Implemented a server side mashup platform to do light-weight Extract Transform and Publish (ETP) using Web 2.0 technologies. This platform was released as a Product called IBM Infosphere mashuphub in 2nd quarter of 2008.

·      DB2 XML, IBM Research (Dec 2003 – Dec 2005) Designed and implemented and performance tested the XQuery and XML navigations in DB2 engine. I was the component owner for code generation and XML Navigation components in DB2 XML.

·      Query Sampling in DB2, IBM Research (Dec 2001 – Nov 2003) Designed implemented and patented the query sampling in DB2 engine. I modified the DB2 kernel execution model for symmetric multi processor (SMP/Intra Query) parallelism for sampling to be repeatable. I also worked with the standards to get TABLESAMPLE clause included in SQL 92 standards.

·      Optimizer hints in DB2, IBM Research (Dec 2001 – Nov 2003) Designed and implemented a prototype to provide query hints to the optimizer in DB2.

·      Online aggregation and continuous query, IBM Research (Jan 1999 – Nov 2001) Designed and implemented a prototype in DB2 to perform online aggregation to provide approximate answers to business intelligence queries by computing running estimates and confidence intervals from sampled data.

·      Subquery execution infrastructure, NCR ­Madison (May 1998 -- Dec 1998) Designed and implemented the execution model of correlated, nested subquery which will facilitate efficient execution of triggers on active data in Terradata Object Relational Store.

Patents

·      Efficient sampling of a relational database (US Patent 6993516)

·      Method and apparatus for using Java as a stored procedure language and as an embedded language on a client (US Patent 6477540 )

·      Method for monitoring dependent metric streams for anomalies  (Filed)

·      Method and System for Integrating Information from Data Feeds  (Filed)

·      Nested Navigations for XPath/XQuery Evaluation (Filed).
