• 
  I was the problem setter of our college tech-fest’s programming contest: ByteCode 2006 and ByteCode 2007. I wrote the online judge, the problem set and the solutions. 500 teams across 35 countries took part in 2006 making our tech-fest go international for the first time.
  
• 
  One of the admins/founders (in a team of four) of the intra-college programming contest club called “codelabs”. Google sponsors for the local contests which we conduct.
  
• 
  The same team of four control and maintain the department’s linux lab which consists of 60 P-IV/linux terminals. Developed scripts to handle and execute commands on the entire n/w with a script on a central system. Hopefully we build a cluster out of it.
  
• 
  Was the problem setter of ‘Debugging contest’ of Vortex 2006 - our departmental symposium.

• 
  I am aware of the major optimization internals of the Pentium-4 processor and the Super Scalar Architectures. Can optimize code beating the compiler’s output by good margins.
  
• 
  I am familiar with execution environments and can crack binaries, to do a specific task ( like removing activation notice) or to study formats that it produces, with tools that I developed for this purpose. I am good at reverse engineering and can produce reasonable dissections within a week’s time.
  
• 
  I am good at program run-time estimates, under optimization levels and architectures. Can clear bottle-necks based on profiled info.
  
• 
  I am aware of various optimizations of gcc compilers and some of the VC++ compilers (mostly limited to instruction sequence mixing). Studying on compiler-optimisation driven by profiled information feedback.
  

• 
  Wrote a multi-tasking machine design specific utility on top of dos, when I was at school. This util can be linked to a dos program and the prog can make use of my API to achieve multi-tasking. Stack, registers, graphic and device contexts get preserved.
  
  • 
    Compiler : Turbo C++ / Turbo Assembler.
    
  • 
    OS : DOS V2 and higher.
    
  • 
    Task Switch Speed : 18.2 Hz
    

• 
  Wrote a 'Bauntumy' AI game computer player, when at I year college. This player's search speed averages 12 million nodes per second. And normally thinks 6 steps deep in less than 50 milli-seconds. (With GUI and Event Logging).
  
  • 
    Used extensive Alpha-Beta Pruning supplemented with ZERO Window Search.
    
  • 
    Used Caching and self-written Fast Memory Allocate and Free Algorithm, which work faster but less effecient in memory management.
    
  • 
    Compiler : Microsoft VC++ 6.0
    
  • 
    OS : Windows 95 and later.
    

• 
  Wrote an Online Judge / CodeChecker, when at II year college. This s/w runs and evaluates src code, when user submits src code for a programming contest. It compiles the src program & runs it with a predefined set of inputs & checks if it provided the correct set of outputs. Also the user- programs had their time and memory limits. It was written to be secure from malicious code trying to attack the server. It's now used to conduct programming contests for our college.
  
  • 
    1. Set resource limits for the program - memory, time, process, etc, so as to protect the server from malicious code attack.
    

3. Handled the 2018 submissions during bytecode (the online contest of our university) within a period of 8 hours (duration of the contest).

• 
  Compiler: gnu c compiler (gcc/g++) (backend) front end consists of a php/mysql based queuing system.
  
• 
  OS : GNU Linux, Kernel Version 3 or later.
  

I assure all the above are true to my best knowledge.
