Projects

Mainframe System Monitoring Suite

  • Technologies Used: z/OS, REXX, JCL, USS, HTML/CSS
  • Designed and developed a modular system monitoring solution for IBM z/OS environments using the REXX programming language.
  • Created monitors for critical system metrics including CPU utilization, storage capacity, and active job tracking, with externally configured alert thresholds.
  • Built a modern, web-based HTML dashboard to visualize system health and display historical performance data, demonstrating knowledge of both traditional and modern mainframe interfaces.

incollege - Student Management Application |(Ongoing)

  • Technologies Used: Cobol, Git Hub
  • Developing a multi-module application from scratch using standard COBOL to simulate a student social/registration system.
  • Implementing core program logic for features like user authentication, profile management, and data handling.
  • Designing and managing sequential and indexed file structures for efficient data storage and retrieval.
  • Responsible for compiling, testing, and debugging all COBOL modules to ensure correct program flow and error-free output.

Computer Vision: Object Detection & Image Resizing

  • Technologies Used: Python, OpenCV, NumPy
  • Developed an object detection program that identifies and matches keypoints in images by implementing the SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm.
  • Created a content-aware image resizing application based on the seam carving algorithm, which intelligently removes low-energy pixels to resize images without distorting important features.
