Product Integrations: Adobe products (Analytics, AEM, Target, Campaign), Pusher notifications, Payment gateway, Appsee, etc.

This project is aimed to design and build a solution (service designer tool) for network designers allowing them to design reusable templates for end-to-end network services. Further, these templates can be used by sales and provisioning engineers during ordering and provisioning process. This tool must inter work with a necessary Orchestrator using TOSCA standards.

Technologies: Spring boot, REST, HTML5, CSS3, AngularJS, GoJS, JavaScript, MongoDB, Cloudfoundry, GIT, JIRA, OneStash

These are some of the high level activities and objectives for this project:

• To design a responsive web application which can work across desktops, tablets and mobiles
• To develop an application that can work on all major browsers
• To follow client specific UI style guidelines throughout the application
• To enable drag and drop of elements from a palette to a central canvas
• To use a version control system for enabling speed and efficiency while coding
• To build optimized code which is easy to understand for anyone

This project aimed at developing a solution based on Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI-CD) for one of the largest U.S. wireless communications service provider and telecom giant.

Technologies: GIT, JIRA, Jenkins, Selenium

Below were some of the main objectives for this project:

• To find a way out for automating the development cycle, from pushing the code in GIT, to triggering Jenkins builds which in turn would run Selenium tests and finally update issues in JIRA
• Building scripts and using plugins for configuring the whole architecture

This project aimed at developing a solution for managing NFV (Network function Virtualization) and Cloud using Red Hat CloudForms which enables the integration and management of cloud infrastructure and services from multiple cloud platforms through a single platform.

Technologies: Spring Boot, POSTGRES, REST, AWS, Openstack, J2EE, Red Hat CloudForms as Cloud Management Platform

DEVOPS & VIRTUALIZATION EXPERIENCE

Key Responsibilities: Automation, CI-CD Tools, L1-L2 Administration and Development, Unit-Integration Testing, Cloud POCs

• Integrated DevOps Model- Worked extensively on a CI-CD solution involving Git/Bitbucket, JIRA, Jenkins, and Selenium talking to each other to eliminate almost all manual intervention from the process.
• Virtual Appliance Management & Orchestration- part of team which developed this solution for managing public and private clouds through REST APIs. Handled the overall unit and integration testing phases using SOAP UI tool.
• Managed SharePoint infrastructure and MSSQL Server infrastructure- including both development and L1- administration aspects, data backups, proactive monitoring of servers through Nagios utility

Worked as a Student Project Trainee in Intelligent Sciences and Robotics Design (ISRD) Department of C.A.I.R. on a research based project aiming to find solutions for NP-Complete problems. The motive was to implement Membrane Computing paradigm of Natural Computing so as to solve the above stated problems with parallel processing and distributed computing.

Underwent a 2-month training in Core Java at this place. Worked on development of a project : a Client-Server based Chat application, which used Core Java and concepts of Socket Programming as front-end and MySQL for managing databases, as back-end. This project was a solution developed for facilitating communication between users and its main task was providing a connection between a server and various clients. The entire process had been automated using Java technology and SQL server to smoothen the flow of information in a secure environment across the network, aimed at easy sending and receiving of instant messages.
