Sudarshan Lamkhede

Summary of Work Experience:

 

Currently I am working with Prof. Dr. Rohini Shrihari on a text mining project named "Unapparent Information Revelation Creation, Visualization and Mining of Concept Chain Graphs". I have been working with Cognizant Technology Solutions as a programmer Analyst for last 8 months before joining UB for the graduate course in Computer Science. With CTS, I was working on a live project for MetLife, an insurance company as a team member. This assignment has not only given me invaluable experience in the software development using J2EE technology in a CMM level 5 company but also boosted my confidence and has made me more responsible and professional. Before working at CTS I had training in internet selling systems at Selectica which followed my short stint at BVCOEP as a visiting faculty for AI and Java programming language.

Projects:

Unapparent Information Revelation December 2003 - present

Ongoing effort to mine the web documents to locate any unintentional leakage of sensitive but unclassified information to the end user.  Designed and developed the required infrastructure for text mining to Concept Chain Graph store and modules to facilitate traditional and novel IR tasks. Responsible for software architecture of the system. Designed and implemented initial versions of UI. This work is sponsored by NSF grant (IIS-0325404) and a research grant from the FAA (032-G-009).

 

Graduate Level Projects.  August 2003 – December 2004

A text mining project on Blogs, Classifier for hyperlinks using Support Vector Machines, Web Services for weather information, Fully functional IR system based on Vector Space Model. The tools used include Apache Jakarta Lucene, libSVM, Protégé, Globus Tool Kit, SUBDUE, NS2 etc.

 

 

MetLife Disability 2.0  June and July  2003

I joined the project when it was in the design phase. The project gave me invaluable knowledge about Apache Struts, Apache Ant, NetBeans and made me familiar with IBM DB2.  My responsibilities were: Proof of concepts (POCs), Writing and reviewing program specification documents, Analyzing and modifying the existing eServices architecture for better performance and removal code redundancy, Adding two new eServices in the package, Creating and populating the whole database, Code review,  and Carrying out all miscellaneous enhancements to the earlier version

 

 MetLife Disability 1.1  March 2003 to May 2003

This was my first “live” project. It was the next version of MetLife’s Short term disability claim intake (STDCI) 1.0 and consisted of two different modules. First was to expose all the functionality of STDCI 1.0 as SOAP calls and second was to make the MyBenefits portal section 508 compliant. I worked on both the modules. I had an opportunity to learn a lot about the J2EE framework, SSL, JSSE, Apache Axis, SOAP, Struts, Section 508, IBM Home Page Reader and Bobby analysis tool.

 

My contribution in configuring the development environment (iPlanet 4.0 and WebSphere 4.0) for SSL communication, suppressing Apache Axis logging as well as resolving the problem of SOAP call for WebSphere 4.0 was greatly appreciated by the Onsite Coordinator of the project and Assistant Project Manager, Mr. Mohan Khyadi.

 

GistX - Automatic Summarizer. - August 2001 to April 2002

The project was to develop a general domain automatic summarizer for English text documents.  It was a completely research oriented project sponsored by Applied Artificial Intelligence Department of Center for development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune. My project guide was a renowned linguist Dr. Mahendra Kumar Pandey.  I along with my group developed the summarizer, which could generate reasonable summaries without any lexicon or deep understanding of the document. We used Maximum Marginal relevance to decide the likelihood of a sentence to be a part of summary. The development tool used was VC++ and Microsoft Access was the backend to hold dynamically generated data.

 

 Internet Selling System.  November 2002

The aim was to develop an interactive selling system using Selectica technology. I developed a web based interactive selling system for a computer vendor. Business logic was incorporated into a knowledgebase, which was run using Selectica's configurator. The user interface was through Selectica's application page tags. It also included basic quoting and carting functionality. The advanced version of the project was developed to have a wide array of quoting functionality and user hierarchy.

 

Enhancement and modification of software  June 2001

This project gave me an opportunity to understand and implement many software engineering concepts such as requirement gathering, testing, maintenance, reverse engineering etc. I did the project for BVCOE’s examination section. The examination section had a set of programs written in C to manage all examination related tasks. But as the number of students in the institution grew and the Pune University rules changed, the programs became inefficient and obsolete. I modified the programs to remove bugs, and made them compliant to the new University rules. 

 

Placement Agency Management System. February 2001 to April 2001

I developed this prototype for Omkar Employment Services, a placement agency in Pune. The front-end was VB and backend was Oracle.

 

Bank Management System  February 2000 to April 2000

As a part of our curriculum I developed this mini system using COBOL to implement basic banking functionality.
