Worked on a real-time project named "Get Set Go Digital" - an all-IT-services platform where businesses can access meticulously designed websites, strategic SEO, engaging digital marketing, and dependable hosting services. The goal was to enable companies to thrive in the digital arena by consolidating all essential IT services into a single platform.
- My Experience: It was a great experience, but initially, I found it challenging to grasp the complex requirements and integrate various services into a unified platform. This was my first time working on such a comprehensive IT project, and understanding the full scope was intimidating at first. However, under the guidance of my manager, Pallavi Malhotra, I was able to navigate these challenges more effectively. Her mentorship played a crucial role in helping me understand the project's requirements, prioritize tasks, and develop a problem-solving mindset. She consistently encouraged me to push beyond my comfort zone and explore different approaches, which greatly influenced my growth as a software developer.
CHALLENGES FACED:
-Working on a real-time project involved continuous adjustments based on supervisor feedback and adapting quickly to changes. Keeping up with evolving requirements while ensuring the project stayed on track was challenging.
-Navigating a large and unfamiliar codebase was overwhelming, as it took time to understand the structure, how components interacted, and where to make necessary changes.
-Adapting to the company culture, office etiquette, and team dynamics was difficult, especially in learning unspoken rules and practices that were not explicitly communicated.
-Implementing SEO and digital marketing strategies required gaining a deep understanding of new techniques and tools, which posed a challenge initially when trying to apply them
LESSONS LEARNT:
- Encountering and overcoming real-world challenges sharpened my analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities, teaching me how to approach issues methodically.
- Balancing multiple tasks and deadlines helped me develop effective time management skills and the ability to prioritize tasks based on project needs.
- Working on a service-oriented project taught me the importance of understanding user needs and designing solutions that enhance user experience.
- I learnt about various testing methods (unit testing, integration testing, etc.) and the significance of ensuring software quality before deployment.
CONTRIBUTIONS:
- I worked on the "Get Set Go Digital" project, where I collaborated with my team to develop an all-IT-service website. I implemented user authentication features, designed the user interface using React, and integrated a payment gateway for seamless transactions. I also assisted in debugging issues, wrote unit tests to ensure functionality, and documented the code
ProjectsMulti-Functional Dentist Hub Website
Role - Software Developer (Fullstack Developer)
for Academic
Jan 17, 2024 - May 7, 2024
In the realm of dentistry, navigating legal challenges, facilitating practice transitions, and fostering a community of professionals demand an innovative approach. The amalgamation of legal support, marketplace dynamics, and collaborative content sharing requires a dedicated platform. This project addresses the need for a comprehensive Dentist Hub Website, catering to the unique challenges faced by dental practitioners in Canada, especially those wrongfully sued by clients, those looking to buy or sell dental practices, and those seeking a centralized hub for insightful blog content.
The Dentist Hub Website project is a revolutionary digital initiative tailored for dental professionals worldwide, aiming to redefine the landscape of dentistry through an integrated platform. With features such as a dedicated Legal Support Center, Practice Listings Marketplace, Interactive Blog Platform, and a robust professional community, the project leverages cutting-edge technologies—including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and the MERN stack—to ensure a secure, scalable, and user-friendly experience. This transformative endeavor invites dental practitioners to engage in a collaborative environment, sharing knowledge, navigating legal complexities, facilitating practice transitions, and shaping the future of dentistry.
The Dentist Hub Website project set out with ambitious goals:
1. Legal Support Center: Offering a dedicated section for dentists navigating legal challenges initiated by RCDSO in Canada.
2. Practice Listings Marketplace: Facilitating the buying and selling of dental practices through a user-friendly interface.
3. Blog Platform: Creating an interactive space for professionals to share insights, experiences, and knowledge.
My Experience: Working on the front-end development for the project was a rewarding learning experience. My focus was on creating a responsive and user-friendly interface using React. One of the major challenges was ensuring smooth and intuitive navigation across different sections of the platform, particularly for the Legal Support Center and Practice Listings Marketplace. Initially, I struggled with designing a cohesive layout that would work seamlessly across devices, but I overcame this by studying responsive design techniques and user interface best practices. By the end of the project, I gained valuable experience in React and front-end design, learning how to balance aesthetics with functionality to provide a smooth user experience. This project helped me solidify my understanding of the development life cycle and teamwork in a technical environment.
In the end, the project turned out to be a valuable learning experience, and I gained an in-depth understanding of the challenges involved in developing complex, user-friendly web platforms. This project helped me solidify my understanding of the development life cycle and teamwork in a technical environment.
Research PapersAI AND EMPLOYMENT: THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MODERN WORKFORCE
Oct 25, 2024 - IEEE
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries and transforming the modern workforce. As AI increasingly takes over routine tasks, concerns arise about its impact on job displacement, while simultaneously creating new opportunities in fields like data science, AI ethics, and cybersecurity. Our research explores the duality of AI’s impact—highlighting the risks of job displacement and the potential for creating hybrid roles that combine human oversight with machine-driven efficiency. We focus on how AI reshapes job categories, wage distribution, and employment levels across key sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and retail.
-Problem Statement: While AI significantly improves efficiency, it also threatens traditional job roles, leading to fears of job displacement across various industries. Organizations must navigate the challenge of leveraging AI technologies to boost productivity without exacerbating unemployment rates. This paper addresses these concerns by analyzing both the positive and negative effects of AI on the workforce and providing recommendations for reskilling and adapting to the future labor market.
-What was done in the research paper: The study investigated the impact of AI on employment using a mixed-methods approach. It included surveys of 5,300 unemployed students to collect quantitative data on their views about AI's effect on job security and skills, as well as qualitative interviews with industry experts from AI-affected sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and retail. Performance data analysis was also used to assess AI's real-world impact on workforce productivity, offering a comprehensive understanding of how AI-driven automation is transforming employment.
-Conference Presentation: The research paper was presented at the IEEE Forum conference, attended by AI and workforce management professionals. The presentation emphasized AI's dual impact on employment and the need for workforce reskilling. During the Q&A session, conference experts asked detailed questions about AI's role in job displacement and reskilling strategies. The research team addressed these questions, offering insights into balancing job creation and displacement, and suggesting practical recommendations for workforce adaptation to AI.
CONTRIBUTIONS:
As a co-author, I contributed extensively to both the data collection and analysis phases of the research, focusing on synthesizing insights from the student surveys and industry interviews. I played a key role in framing the research methodology, coordinating with Dr. Sunita Mehta to ensure the study provided a balanced view of AI's positive and negative impacts on the workforce. Below are the specific challenges I faced, lessons I learned, and contributions I made throughout the project.
