Project/Research activity

     I love to study Computer Science and Mathematics. I am also interested in their applications. So apart from academics, I have done some projects work too...
      Here is a little description of those.. Here is also a link to my github profile.

SDET intern Microsoft India development center (Bing-Appex) (may 2014 - june 2014)

  • Description: Built an automatic test framework in C# to automate the middle tier testing of the Bing Sports app.. The tool helped to reduce massive human work hour in testing after weekly server deployments and updates. Used to tool to catch some live issues during the FIFA World Cup 2014
  • Achievements: Was offered to join Microsoft as a Full Time Employee due to outstanding performance in the internship.

Link Prediction on social graph (January 2014 - present)

Principal Investigator: Prof. Niloy Ganguly (IIT KGP)
  • Description: We are developing a novel Link Prediction algorithm using both macro level and micro level information of a graph. We are using a neighbor-non neighbor heuristic to convert the ranking problem to a quadratic programming problem. We are exploiting SVMs to solve them.
  • Achievements: Preliminary results show good Mean Average Precision.

ALBUM-s (September 2014 - Present)

  • Description: Building a collaborative location based photo sharing application to share photos on a shared album in Facebook as they are taken by multiple users. Implementing using JAVA, PHP, Android SDK and Facebook SDK. 

Remote application Sharing (2014)

Description: Built a tool using C++ and xdotools (to emulate keyboard short cuts in Linux) to moderate pdf viewing across users using Okular..

Automosaic (OPENSOFT 2013)

  • Description: Built a tool using python and OpenCV to automatically reconstruct an image from arbitrarily torn parts.
  • Achievements: Was awarded 3rd prize in IIT Kharagpur

LNU(Localization and navigation using semantics) Project (Jan 2013-MAY 2014) :

Sponsored By : EADS (Germany)
Principal Investigator : Prof. A. Sarkar (Dept. of Mathematics, IIT Kharagpur)
  • Description ; The Project Involved implementation of the Simulation of a Robot in 3d Space(without GPS) with the help probabilistic methods to simultaneously localize the robot and to build a consistent 3d map of its environment . We have implemented our own Extened Kalman Filter based FastSlam 2..0 framework for this purpose..To rectfy the control errors (randomly generated) of the robot, we have used SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) and Topographic labeling based feature detection techniques to build and recognize landmarks from the images taken by the robot.Finally a disparity map was generated for each timestep and at the end they were merged according to the co-ordinates obtain from the FastSlam 2.0 based analysis.. Also added FABMAP based loop closure method to the framework.
  • Achievements : Implemented the complete system in the required time . Got wide scale exposure to C++ and also learned to use the OpenCV library for image processing.

Software Engineering term project(2013) :

  •  Description: The project involved implementation of a complete Hostel Management System that can be simultaneously used by students and administrative..Implemented the front end parts with Java . Made a MySql database and a Login protection based PHP site..Implemented a central Java Socket based server that could connect with the MySQL database. The front end programs and the could connect with the database simultaneously.

  • Achievements; Exposed to the world of networking. Learned PHP, MySQL and got good exposure to Java programming language.
                             Received Highest grade in the project.

OpenSOFT Project(2013):

  • Description: "OpenSoft" is a yearly Software Engineering Competition held in our college. We implemented a C# based software that given a researchers name find his research papers and vice versa by doing automated queries to Google Scholars.
  • Achievements: Got a brief introduction to C# and also made necessary UML diagrams for the project.

yahoo hacku (2013):

  • Description; Yahoo HackU was a Software Engineering competetion held in our college by Yahoo.
  • Achievemts: Our team implemented a hack named "Smart Favourites". Its a  Firefox extension that allows users to save the url of the current tab while in cloud. Later the url could be retrieved to reopen the tab or to save all the links ,visited during a session, to users local machine.
