Summary of Experience Since August 1997
Over one year of industry experience in InternetClient / Server technology. In this period I have gained competent analysisand design skills and have been exposed to a variety of design and developmentmethodologies. At The Indian Express Online Media. Ltd., a subsidiary of�INDIAN EXPRESS Groups, I have also gained critical knowledge in area ofSystem Adminstration of� Unix servers and maintenance.
My principal skills lie in Client/Server applicationdevelopment with PERL/C as backend and browser as front end, using CGIscripting.
I have acquired commendable experience in devisingand implementing System programs, which serve as standalone servers forour Internet servers. I have developed and co-ordinated for in house applicationsdevelopment.�
Professional experience Since August 1997

(A Subsidiary of Indian Express Group)
Mumbai, Maharashtra
Programmer Analyst
TIEOML is the Leading Internet News Companyand is among India's top most companies with more than 2 million Internetnews reader/clients.
My experience at TIEOML presented me with excellentopportunities to handle extremely complex systems in networking technology,develop strong design skills and gain crucial awareness System Administration.
I was inducted into the TIEOML project at timewhen they had installed FAX ON DEMAND Service; project was going througha critical phase of system start-up, having a need of a system and projectadministrator. My efforts were focused at the administration of the newsystem which comprised of RS6000/AIX, Oracle backend database and an IVR(Direct Talk /2 IBM) and debugging the existing system for functional flawsand raising the level of operations of the system by educating the operatorof finer operations handling issues.
I am an integral part of our core InternetDesign & Development team. We design the overall project for our clients/in-house development requirements. I have designed the complete the internalarchitecture of our MailServer, which allowed our clients to centralisetheir mails and have access to them from anywhere.
I have designed and co-ordinated the developmentof our in house Internet Production and Publishing project which is currentlybeing used by TIEOML.

Project Features
System Administration and Operation handling is a vast field andalso was the first one which I faced straight after I left college. Theentire system was massive in size and intricate in functionality, it containedSubscriber billing, automatic fax of the user required document, providingvoice response to the phone interface with the client.
The system was judiciously divided into modules which took caredifferent functionality such as scheduling, handling online fax request,doing a fax store and forward job. The system is inherently complex dueits 'Workflow' nature and the business requirements of extreme flexibility.
Role�
System Administration and Operation handling.

Project Features and Role
System Administration of the overall linux servers. These serverswere used for our daily Publishing and production system, Mailserver whichcatered to our companies� email requirements, External Email serverwhich were� used for� external clients having pop3 accounts withus, Our primary domain name server which served as principle domain serverfor us and our client's site which were hosted by us.

OS���������������������Client: Windows 3.x, Window95
��������������������������Server: Linux, Novell Netware
RDBMS�������������MySql, Foxpro
LANGUAGE���� Perl, Foxpro

Project Features

This was an Enterprise wide system, developed with an aim of automatingthe entire production system of� our site ( www.expressindia.com).The existing at that time was ill-equipped, both in terms of design andcapacity to cope with the massive volumes of information gathered by TIEOMLfor its publishing..
The system was required to automate the entire flow from news informationwhich was being retrieved from our flagship company's ( Indian Express) database.
The systems consist of a multiple server hierarchy, spread acrossa WAN(leased telephone lines from Mumbai to California� our internationalsite) . Some of the challenging aspects of these systems are
Integration of cross platform products likeFoxpro database to Linux MySql database server.
Network traffic optimisation across a WAN
Data Consolidation and transmission acrossthe WAN to� enable� suitable mirroring of our� Local siteand International site.

Role In Project

Developer, Analyst and Designer
All modules have been completely designed and I co-ordinated thedevelopment with� subordinate programmers.

Project Details Title����������������������Netscape Inbox
Hardware�����������Client: PC
������������������������������Server: HP Netserver.
OS�������������������������Client: Linux
������������������������������Server: Linux
RDBMS����������������MySql
LANGUAGES����� Perl, Procmail.

Project Features

The Project was to enable an Inbox direct mailer service in alliancewith Netscape, where the clients would choose the kind of service it requiresand the categories of news it wanted. The same should be automaticallyemailed to him every day as soon the daily site is up.
The challenges presented in the system were :�
Everything should be automatic once it�is functional.
User Preferences Management should be automaticwithout any admin help.
Built-in Error handling and Error Logging
Built-in User Level Security
Built - in support for multiple transaction.
The should be as automated as possible leavingno scope manual intervention.

Project Features

The project was to develop a Browser based Interactive client interfacefor the searching� and� retrieving of News Article from our companiesNews Database and also the complied database of more than Twenty publications.This news retrieval by clients was to be charged to them as per news articleand period of access of the news in our archives. This package was to beimplemented� in Our Cybercafe's first then would actually be out onInternet Site for external access also.
The whole project is being implemented in DB2 database environmentkeeping in mind the scalability of the database in coming years.�The frontend choosen is Java applet interface� as it would providethe necessary user friendliness� and also the software capabilitieslike AWT, event handlers, and convenient database connectivity .
The challenges presented by the system were :�
Database design where the table / databasesize will increase mainfolds in future.
Providing Keyword/String search and mainpulationfacilities.
Search using Boolean and freetext capabilities.
