Thesis title: An Intelligent Emergency Patient Monitoring System using distributed paradigms
Advisor(s): Prof. A. K. Majumdar and Prof. J. Mukhopadhyay, Dept of Computer Sc. & Engg., IIT
Kharagpur
Summary: Implements an emergency patient monitoring system for heterogeneous set of devices (mobile
phones, PocketPC etc) with intelligent notification mechanism. My architecture, based on mobile agents and
tuplespaces, is able to provide unified content based notification service at the users' end, irrespective of their
device type and corresponding device-specific limitations (storage, environment, UI, connection and
computing capacity). The architecture is generic in its nature and can be used as a middleware to implement
device-independent on-demand collaborative services.

Tech Lead at iLabs(R&D), [24]7 Inc (formerly 24/7 Customer), Bangalore (July 2009-Sep 2011)
Currently working on our bigdata infrastructure build out for batch processing as well as real-time processing.
Worked on Hadoop, Hive, Oozie and MySQL customization for batch data platform setup. Worked on
implementation of a log producer in scala that watches for application logs, transforms incremental logs and sends
them to a kafka and zookeeper based log collection platform. Implemented a data export application to fetch
processed data from these platforms to consuming application databases in a scalable manner.
Designed and developed an engine for visitor tracking and behavior evaluation (PxOE) on a website.
Implemented a finite state machine based rules engine with parts of the same on client side and intelligence on the
server side. By design all the IP is protected on the server side. Implemented server side framework for finite state
machine creation and execution using Equinox, EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework), Hibernate and MySQL.
Implemented client side framework for user data collection, finite state machine based state management and
rules evaluation. Implemented core features for cross domain communication and browser side storages based on
HTML5. PxOE is currently deployed for 5 leading brands of US, UK and Australia with high volume traffic on
their websites.
Designed and developed a presentation and utility framework (WoW!Px) in native javascript for creating and
deploying generic widgets on top of PxOE. Implemented modules for client side storage, UI presentation, flow
orchestration and cross domain communication across different layers on the website. WoW!Px is deployed on 5
leading brands of US and Australia and has given a jump of 20% revenue for them within a month of deployment.
US patent application #13/239,195 has been filed for PxOE and WoW!Px idea and implementation.
Designed a browser based chat console and implemented parts of chat server backend using Openfire (an XMPP
server). Designed and implemented the front end to support client specific feature customizations and license
based feature enablement with a multi-tenant approach on a single deployment. Implemented server side REST
framework for different services exposed from the platform. Implemented Cometd and Bayeux protocol based
communication framework between the front end and the backend. Worked on security and scalability design for
the platform. Led a team of 3 to work on the front end features for auto completion, drupal based customizations
to provide facebook like workspace and backend services to support these features. Designed dojo based object
listener framework in javascript for the chat console.
Led a team of 3-4 developers to develop Hive based reporting framework for PxOE and WoW!Px. Amazon EMR
is being used for generating these reports onto Amazon S3 and then a separate software uses this data to dump
into the DB for reports. Used dynamic partitioning based approach to generate daily and weekly frequency
reports.
Designed and developed a reporting framework using BiRT, MySQL and Jetty. Used ExtJS (now Sencha), for
creating the UI layer that used REST services for data sources. The design helped us do performance testing and
adhoc UI changes for the client without much ado. Worked on a multi-tenant hierarchical authorization
framework on the backend.
