ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Simulation of Monsoon Rainfall and finding the best fit curve using SAS May 2016
 Implemented a linear model over the data, after determining the model, simulated the observations from a normal
distribution with parameters same as that of the residuals.
 Finally added the error simulations to the linear model to obtain monthly precipitation figures. A large number of
simulations were done to stabilize the average monthly precipitation.
Prediction of House Prices in California using Python Nov 2015
 Implemented a predictive model to predict the house prices in California, based on various attributes like crime rate,
facilities, tax rates and number of rooms.
 Implemented in Python and made use of packages seaborn, scikit-learn, matplotlib.
Implementation of Amazon AWS Cloud Services using Java May 2015
 Implemented all Amazon AWS cloud services using Java and performed their operations using UI developed in Java.
Secure Image Steganography Based on DNA Encryption using Java Jan 2012
 Proposed a new technique to transfer data securely by hiding in an image.
 Data to be hidden is converted into cipher text using RSA algorithm, then transferred into its DNA digital sequences.
 Next, stronger PRNG which is based on message digest uses SHA-1 to generate a series of random numbers based on
which the DNA strand is randomized. It is then compressed and is hidden in the image.
Cricket World Cup Mobile App using J2ME Mar 2011
 Developed a J2ME mobile application that provides the latest updated scores and match schedules.

2.  Used RSS feeds and parsed them to get the scores. Integrated with Maps.
