I can’t disclose most of the project details as they were banking softwares. A brief info on the project which i have worked is as follows : 1. NRV : A application which used to handle the appraisal and analytics for the customers. Front end was outsourced. Developed in a team of 3 people. Integrated Mainframes and Oracle database with Java Spring backend with Angular and HTML as UI layer. 2. Concordia : Used to handle frauds done over credit and debit cards. Developed for the purpose of automating and aggregating the data from 4 different banking platforms. A desktop based application written entirely in VB.NET. 3. Elinq : Used for connecting phone dialer with other systems. Desktop app (more of a Background service) written in VB.NET. During my stay till date, I have taken the following initiatives : 1. Using electron.js in place of VB.NET for making deskop based application. 2. Also i had influenced them to use github. They were using some proprietary tool which wasn’t as good and was priced too much. 3. Using already made bootstrap and sematic plugins for making UI. Show less

      Pune Area, India The application I was working on was an oil and gas related portal, which was used to give information about where to drill, how much is the oil density, government permissions etc. I was mostly assigned the backend related works. 1.

Writing data migration scripts in Node.js for migrating GBs of JSON files first to MongoDb and then to ElasticSearch (for clustered data usage, hosted on AWS EC instance). Data needs to validated for abnormal geographical terminologies, invalid dates, out of range values. The data was so huge, code used to run for close to 8-9 hours on an intel i7 machine for a single JSON file. I was given 7-8 files all with different JSON schema. 2. Writing scripts in Node.js for MongoDB Oplogs for database maintenance and automatic updation to elastic server during CURL commands on database. 3. Doing analytics using nvD3.js for making comparisons with current vs previous years - months values. 4. Making payment gateway using Stripe.js in Node.js for the application. Entire thing was way too complicated - had too many use cases. It included different type of subscriptions like 4.1. regional subscriptions, state, country subscriptions 4.2. monthly and yearly payments 4.3. recurring payments 4.4. subscription cancellations 5. I was sometimes assigned the frontend related task as well, mostly which used to revolve around bootstrap, angular.js, w2ui and semantic.js. By the time the internship ended, I was almost handling the complete backend for the application, and this was huge on my part as the application was still in development phase and used to get a new Change Request every week or two.
