"One of the most important faculty members of IET Bhaddal"

I am responsible to define the roadmap as per the marketing feedback. I am also responsible for defining the marketing strategy and activities. I work with the development team on features and also the support team to provide a great platform for teachers and students to use.

I worked with a great team. When we started, we were just two of us and the team was formed for the first time. Previously Business Analyst team handled all analysis - pre and post sales. Gradually, we added 02 more people. And then 01 more and then 01 more and finally 01 more. All this within first 08 months. We worked out some new ways of doing work, ensuring quality and faster delivery. Each day at work brought new knowledge and it is a great joy to work with the team.

I was involved in lot of interesting and diverse activities at Net Solutions. I wrote lot of proposals, discussed lots of exciting options with customers, consulted on best practices and framed lengthy/ lightweight requirement documents. I coordinated tentative schedules and people usage as well. In addition, I was involved in estimation using a variant of function points. I worked with development teams to help them understand the project scope and objectives.

I was in charge of this internal project of the institute. This was a prototype for development of an intranet solution for knowledge management and automation of Department of Mechanical Engineering. I worked with trainees to develop an automation module for Department of Training and Placement. The modules were implemented using VB6.0, SQL Server, MySQL and perl. It was a challenge to motivate trainees, work with them on quick learning curves as well as defining requirements.
