PERSONAL PROJECTS:
Life logger: (Android App) Nov 2016 - Present •Collects everyday data from the users and provides customized results to the user to analyze and better understand how they’re spending their time.
Location Tracker: June 2016 - Aug 2016 • Android app that obtains user location via GPS, updates user location on maps every second, records latitude and longitude coordinates and allows user to save the trips taken.
Xploree – a location based app May 2016 - Sept 2016 • Published on google play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Vishalaxi.android.Xploree&hl=en • Xploree identifies your current location and allows you to search the nearest hospital, restaurants, bus stations, banks/ATM Airport, School, Movie theaters and church.
Spatio-Temporal Resource search Jan 2016 to May 2016 • Devised a solution for the problem of finding parking spot using spatio-temporal data using Java as back-end. • Implemented a deterministic algorithm that uses the gravitational force of a parking lot towards the vehicle and improved the efficiency of the algorithm with increased congestion by 5%.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
Stock Market Simulator Aug 2015 to Dec 2015 • Designed the interface of the web based simulator and developed software modules using PHP, Javascript, HTML, and CSS as the front end and MySQL as the back end.
ETX based Routing in Wireless Networks Aug 2012 to May 2013 • Improved Performance of the reactive routing protocols in terms of throughput, normalized routing load, end to end delay and packet delivery ratio.
