I have been working in the programming industry for nearly a decade, but I recently realised that I had been a much more interesting (although less competent) programmer in college. So, here goes:
- I wrote an evaluation engine in C++ for temporal logic
formulae, as part of a project on Formal Verification of
Security Protocols using Temporal Logic. I didn't know lex/yacc
at the time and had to hand-craft a small parser for this. - I implemented a set of new realtime data mining algorithms. I built upon some existing code
and the project used STL heavily. - I developed the Linux version of ISIS (IndianScript Input System), a program that can
enable users to input text using Indic scripts in a
phonetic manner under both Windows and Linux. The typing system was invented by
Prof Gautam Sengupta, professor of Linguistics and Language Technology, University of
Hyderabad. This was a full-fledged product for which I had to learn Xlib, GTK+, and Qt. - Developed a MIDI file generator for programmatically generated music, and presented it
at an Engineering and Technological Fair. I can hardly believe that I wrote it in Turbo C. For the presentation I would generate the file every time and play it on Winamp.
