Projects I am working on

Below is the list of the projects I am currently working on....
Again, its not the complete list, there are some I can not mention publically (though they are great and I would love to tell).

See projects I have completed


Web Notify Service

Client: IElements

Tools and Technologies Used: Visual Studio .NET 2005, SQL Server 2000, Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation

WebNotify was aimed to notify users whenever there is an event for them. So for example, user placed some ticket to customer support and when customer support reply to that ticket, a Windows Live Messenger style popup will appear on the user's system telling notifying about the ticket change. This is actually a more general solution divided into three layers. Administration portion, Service itself and the client. Admin, from a web page, can list all connected users and select one or more of them to send a message and that message will instantly appear on user machine.

ACT by Sage Search Plugin

Client: Coloseum Software Corp

Tools and Technologies Used: Visual Studio .NET, ACT by Sage 2006

This project was to create a plugin for custom search in the ACT! by Sage CRM. Client had a lot of custom fields in ACT and he wanted to search for records based on about 20 different fields out of which about 17 were custom fields. In this project, I placed a new button on ACT! CRM's toolbar and when that is clicked, it picks the field values of current record and search based on the values it has. The resultant records are shown in a grid and once user select them and click 'Use' button, these records are placed on the current record's custom X fields where X varies from one to four.

Skype Automation

Client: Sameers

Tools and Technologies Used: Visual Studio .NET, Skype

Skype automation is the project I am working on my free time so that I can make calls from any software or send short messages. Until now, I am suceeded to send Short messages, however, making voice calls is a bit tricky. I am creating it as a library so that it is easy to use. The idea is to create a library which could be used in any software to deliver SMS text messages or voice messages using Skype. For example, integrating that to Microsoft Outlook or any email account to check if some new email arrives, can can make a call to the user and tell him the contents of the emails (or send a short message with some text of the email).
