The application that allows you to connect to others of your own interest!

This application was a large application that was built by our team. It had its backend deployed on Windows Azure. And the frontend on Windows Phone and Windows 8. I was the Lead Programmer for this application and also responsible for some gamification ideas that the application was using.

I wrote the cloud services in C# and they had endpoint communication using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Services. These endpoints provided indirect access to the relational data in the databases. I also implemented the frontend on the respective platforms. I used Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Framework along with some animation and User interface controls implemented by Telerik. Was responsible for designing the User Interface and User Experience, the backend and AppLogic, the communication with Cloud Services and was also managing the repository related tasks and build server. All the AppLogic was written in C#. The cloud relational data used SQLServer. OAuth integration were also programmed by me to access the user's facebook, and foursquare profile as that was essential to the application

This is a project based on Windows Azure that provides a communication medium to access your desktop files on your Windows Phone. This application uses WCF services, BLOBs, Queues, WPF, and Silverlight. The application consists of 3 modules, the cloud application, the windows phone client and the desktop background client. Additionally a website was also made for user registration, access control, management and providing extra features.

Implemented the cloud services using Windows Communication Foundation(WCF). Used Windows Azure cloud backend. Was also responsible for creating the desktop and Windows Phone 7 applications for the application using Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight. Wrote XML based file transfer system using WCF SOAP messages. Experimented with Azure Blobs and Queues for data transfer.

An XNA 4.0 2D game, with a social message to spread awareness against AIDS. Imagine Cup 2012 Entry. Reached World Qualifying Finals in Imagine Cup.

Worked on the complete implementation of the game. Was the sole programmer. Worked on the gameplay implementation, created my own animation rendering engine, pseudo physics engine for the game, and basic rendering pipeline for 2D graphics.

The application allows users to encrypt and lock their images, along with taking camera photos without rendering the view of the camera. This was a personal project to probe into the Windows Phone APIs and platform. Certain Image Processing algorithms were applied. Also performed Facebook OAuto integration and image upload using Graph API. Used Isolated Storage for storing and encrypting files. The encryption algorithm used was AES.

This application was built during a Hackathon in Hyderabad. The application was built for Windows 8 using the new Windows Runtime APIs and .NET 4.5. The intended users of the application are musicians. The application was solely developed by me in a span of 2 hours. The application was built with responsive UI handelling all the Windows 8 form factors and dimensions

This is a replication of the Eye Of Sauron scene from Lord of the Rings. The game scene shows the tower, the eye, lava, environment, fighting goblins, and also has a playable racing game where you can pick from multple characters and race around the Eye.

I implemented the lava texture and material on the terrain. I was also working on making the goblins and their attack animations. Link to the github repository.

An experimental project to simulate fluid on GPU using Navier-Stokes equations. The simulation uses DirectX 11, and runs on Compute Shaders. The project consists on Particle System, with 64k particles rendering on the screen, guided by the navier-stokes equation. An experimentation was done to improve the performance by doing some processing on CPU instead and accelerating this process by the usage of SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions). The project currently crashes for certain hardware, but works perfectly on a nVidia 750+ GPU series. I was responsible for the complete implementation.

This is a social game for people to discover new location and places near them. Just like FourSquare, the challenge is to discover new places and become the Mayor of the places. Here you leave a Hunt for other users , with a Hint about the place and a processed image. This makes the task more cahllenging. As you complete the Hunt, you get points. And you can track all other players and users (if they have apublic profile).

This application was built for iOS using the SWIFT language. The application uses backend services written in PHP wit MySQL. This was a rapid prototype for the RIT iOS APP challenge 2015. It was built in merely one week. The application is now under development, for its release on AppStore.

I constructed the backend appLogic. Created the UI and UI interactions and wrote event handelers. Also responsible for writing the code to send and receive the HTTP GET requests to the server, and parse the received JSON data from the server. I implemented the Image Processing algorithm for applying multiple filters on the image.
