February 2008 – April 2016

PFU Systems is a subsidiary of Fujitsu and a leading company in image scanners and Kiosks.

Key Accomplishments:

●        Designed and architected Document Management System specifically applied to manage expenses through receipts. Smart Receipt is designed as Azure Cloud service having Web Role hosting the website and Worker Role doing background process. The Web Role is hosting ASP.Net MVC application running .Net Framework 4.5 and communicates to the Worker Role through Azure Queues. The scanned receipt image can be uploaded from the website or using mobile device such as iPhone/iPad using REST API. The uploaded file can be jpeg image file or pdf file with multiple jpeg images. Once the file is uploaded, the server saves the file either in Blob or external Google drive depending on the user login. The file information is stored in SQL Azure. The ID of the file is placed in Azure Queue so that the Worker Role could retrieve the file and process through Abbyy's OCR engine. The Abbyy’s Finereader engine extracts the data from the receipt by using engine API. The extracted data such as Vendor is verified through self-learning engine. The extracted data can be modified through UI pages and can be exported to online QuickBooks account.

I re-architected and designed the intranet application to run on Azure Cloud service. The sensor service agent sends and receives data using REST service and the data is stored in SQL Azure. The web manager is ported to work under Web Role.

●        Designed and Architected Remote Monitoring System for Kiosks that are geographically located in different regions. This application is designed to work in Azure Cloud platform and as a service to support multi-tenants. I architected the solution utilizing the Windows Azure Platform and Sql Azure. I adopted Azure Queue service to communicate between Worker Role and Web role. We used Blob to store large files. The Kiosk Remote Management system is designed as a web application to monitor many Kiosk clients in real-time. This application utilizes ASP.NET and .Net Framework 4.5 and the data is stored in Azure SQL server, as well as Azure Tables and Blobs. This application is hosted in Windows Azure. The message is being sent from Kiosks to Monitoring Server using WCF Restful Web service. The XML message is designed as contract first approach that contains all the information about the health of different devices and the event log and is being sent to Monitoring server through WCF REST API call. Many other REST API has been exposed for the data to be presented on mobile devices such as iPhone and Android apps. I directed the development of html5 JQuery mobile application.

●        Designed and Developed Application for Hospital Emergency patient’s work-flow. This application uses RFID tag for the patients and movement of the patient from room to room is detected using RFID Readers. The data capture service collects data every 10 seconds and is pushed to Analysis server for creating reports and presenting the analyzed data. This application is designed as ASP.NET application and database is mapped using Entity Framework and the data is stored in SQL server.
