1. Built the mapping portion of 'Field Mobility App' primarily used by the field crews to track assets and work orders using C#.net (UWP/WPF/MVVM Frameworks) and using ESRI  ArcGIS Runtime (10.2.5 / 100.7)

2. Built the mapping portion of a decision support system to convert historically poor performing portions of overhead system to underground by assessing historical power outage in Targeted Undergrounding (TUG) Program to strengthen the distribution electrical grid using Angular 7.x, ESRI JS 4.11, SQL Server, Java, C#. Heavily used RxJS library to propagate events and data stream between standalone angular application and ESRI map

3. Extending ArcGIS server capabilities using SOE/SOI to support complex geometry manipulation and data sync using C#.NET 

4. Built micro-services in TypeScript/NodeJS for large scale geocoding leveraging ESRI Portal, OAuth2.0 for authorization

1. Developed the Decision Support System (DSS), EASTWeb V 1.0, to automate the retrieving, processing, and archiving of satellite Remote Sensing data and then generate various environmental indices and their maps required for ecological forecasting of infectious disease using Python, C#, ESRI ArcObjects 10, NumPy, SciPy, and PostgreSQL. Collaborated with Dept. of Computer Science, SDSU to replace EASTWeb’s commercial modules with open source alternatives.


2. Developed tools to process TRMM and AMSR E binary grids to compute environmental indices (daily precipitation, snow cover, soil moisture, vegetation, water fraction etc.) to facilitate the research on global climate change and epidemiological outbreaks using Python, Python Image Processing Library, Numpy, ArcObjects 9.3, and so forth.


3. Developed a large scale (30+Yrs) data processing framework from PRISM Climate Group, University of Oregon and National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA, crop datasets to characterize the influences of global climate change on biofuels feedstock production using ArcObjects 9.3, C#, and Python. Performed spatial and statistical analysis in ArcGIS 9.3 and R.
