Python Language Experience
- Online Insurance Quote System. Build with Turbogears with the following components: Form Widgets, MySQL, SQLAlchemy. This was a data entry system in which users would enter information into the forms. Forms would get validated and sent to a database. At a final step a series of calculations would be performed based on the underwriting rules and at a final point premium would be displayed.
- Spamalot. Artificial intelligence email program which initiate, receives, analysis, and responds to certain individuals via email. This program would listen for an email to be delivered to its mailbox. Upon it delivery it would parse it, save its parts to a database, and replied to the email withing few hours with a reply.
- Universal Information Crawler. Program that collects, saves, and analyzes web site links. Calculates page rank and builds a simplified but fast search engine page ranking system. (GPL) UICrawler goes out to the internet and collects the first page. Upon reading the page it will follow all the links it finds on the website. It will collect these pages, analyze the links and collect subsequent pages.
Automotive Recall Database. I have used Automotive recall database from the National Highway Safety Administration to display automotive recalls by year,make,model on a website (60MB of data). Using Turbogears, mysql, and python to transform data from zipped file to web based content. <http://www.lucasmanual.com/recall/> Initially used mod_python, then converted the app into TurboGears.
Vehicle Information Number Checker. I wrote a simple Vehicle information number checker which checks the check digit in a vin number, as defined by the vehicle information number standard. <http://www.lucasmanual.com/vin/> 1.Highway data analysis: I have used python to convert Highway sensor data to a format that would be read by “R” statistical program. At the point data was converted to a format I needed the R program would analysis the traffic patterns based on density, time, mass at which point it would try to predict the accident sites.
- Data conversion. I have written few python programs that convert various csv files to a common format. I have used these programs to merge two different databases with few common columns. It also been used to do small data quality improvements by scanning for similar rows and removing the duplicates. Some other conversion include: csv to mysql, tps to mysql, csv to tps, db2 to csv, csv to db2, etc
Hardware
Servers
I have managed servers in on various operating systems. I have experience with Novell, Windows: 98,2000, 2003; Linux: Debian, Ubuntu, some fedora core and RedHat, SuSE.
- I have configured fax hardware. I have replaced 5 separate fax machines and substituted it with one fax server. It enabled browsing of all faxes online, having a log of incoming faxes and where they came from. It allowed people to fax from their pc. Around 500 incoming faxes a day, and 50 outgoing.
