IBM Extreme Blue Summer Internship

ADVANCED INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, IBM CORP. CAMBRIDGE, MA.

 

Designed and developed an agent scripting platform in Java that allows the rapid development and deployment of long-lived agents on our server. Agents can send/receive instant messages, deploy web services/servlets, interact with Lotus Domino, access IBM Middleware, etc. - all in a few lines of JavaScript. Technologies employed include SOAP/Web Services, Tomcat, JMS, Mozilla-Rhino, Gryphon/JMS, XML and IBM Sash.

PalmOS and PocketPC Developer

SCICONICS, SEMANTIC COMPACTION SYSTEMS. PITTSBURGH, PA.

 

Developed demos/prototypes of their proprietary technology on the PalmOS and PocketPC platforms, which will be presented to potential investors. Besides utilizing MFC, HackMaster and PalmOS APIs, I also had to craft various tools – e.g. dataloading scripts in PERL to generate PDB files from a formatted text input file. Presented weekly updates to the President / Founder of the startup and had to constantly incorporate feedback into the prototype.

Summer Intern with Trilogy Software

DEVELOPMENT GROUP, TRILOGY SOFTWARE. AUSTIN, TEXAS.

http://www.trilogy.com/

 

Worked concurrently on 2 projects within the context of their Commission Engine (one of Trilogy's most successful E-Business products). First project: Implement parallel processing for an engine phase (the Engine operates in multiple phases); Second project: Design and develop a new formula package for the Engine - formulas would be compiled into Java bytecode, which is stored in the database for quick execution in the future. Developed a formula migration tool (used a parser, lexical analyzer). Used the Backbone API and had to write test suites in both projects.
