Project Experience

Recently, I got an opportunity to work on a Project given by Thales International, forwarded to me by Microsoft. This was my first ever project. The project was about "Commercial Situation (SITCOM) Database - Opportunity and Bid".

I went thru the project’s requirement gathering, and grasped the requirements after a prolonged and continuous interaction with the appropriate personnel in Thales at Delhi, who delegated this responsibility on me. I started the design and prototype of the project once I was thru with the initial interactions for understanding the exact necessities of the company the same day..

The project has been developed using ASP.NET technology - Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express, and SQL server Express as the back end.

I took time off during the weekends to complete this project and completed the major tasks related to database creations, so that the easier tasks could be addressed during the weekdays (since I had to devote adequate time for my college too).

For the purpose of creating the graphs, I did some R&D to understand as to how graphs could be easily generated using ASP. Thereby, I understood the newer components of ASP which could be used effectively to complete the task to generate reports and graphs (which is the most critical for any company)

It has been a great experience for me, as I have got the opportunity to be delegated with a project at such an early stage in my life. It has helped me learn a lot more about ASP, especially the part of Graph Generation (in a way that the end users can customize the graphs and generate data in the manner they want to view the reports and results), SQL Queries and a lot many other programming intricacies.

At the moment, I am in collaboration with Thales, to add further enhancements to the software, and also I am in the process of continually testing it as and when I take time off from my studies. My sole objective being, making the end users in Thales have an enriching and user friendly experience with the software and avoid as many bugs as possible while making any enhancements to it.

I thank Microsoft and Thales International India for giving me this opportunity. I'm looking forward for more such projects in future, which will definitely help in a great deal of value addition for me.
