ASSOCIATE SOFTWARE ENGINEER BENTLEY SYSTEMS INC.
I was offered this role after completing four months of the graduate intern program which was initially 6
months. My role as an associate software engineer, working with one of Bentley’s Product Suite
"OpenPlant" includes the development, designing, and debugging of different modules and
enhancements under the “Facilities Engineering Team.” It also includes communicating with the QA
and product consultants and participating in team discussions to effectively implement the tasks
specified on the Azure DevOps server. As a software engineer here, I got to work with multiple billion-
dollar companies.

Some of the achievements so far:

1. Implemented "To From" reporting with "Pipelines" for "Piping terminator" which is an
engineering component for Hatch Engineering Consulting, CA using C#/.NET.
2. Worked out the escalation with the consultants and implemented Oracle database support for one of
our product features, which previously supported only MySQL and MS Access databases, using
C#/.NET and Oracle's managed data access client. It was requested by Bechtel which is a very old
and a million dollar revenue generating company.
3. Worked on UI for the "Standard Preferences" which is used for defining different work breakdown
structures for different engineering components, to make it stable and add the component tagging
options using C#/.NET and Telerik Forms.
4. Worked on the stability of the updates that Bentley rolled last year in which we worked on the
tagging schematics of different engineering components.
5. Other than that I have been actively involved with the team and individually in fixing our day-to-day
bugs to keep our product stable and smooth through all the development cycles.
6. I also have been involved in helping and guiding the new colleagues who joined our team recently in
the pull and build of our products and to let them settle through the smoke tests and all.

PROJECTS

Projects Senior Project:

Final Year Project: “Intensity Based Image Fusion of Medical Images for Image Registration”

Our algorithm aids to provide better results in fusing two images of different modalities. We have
worked our results by fusing MR and CTs of same subjects. Our work shall help in a way that generally,
an image with less details does not provide an appropriate analysis of the scene. Our work shall help with
the diagnosis process of many diseases as well as it shall be more helpful in performing surgeries.

Semester Projects:
• Black Jack in C++ using Visual Studio.
• Flappy Bird in C++ using Object Oriented Programming techniques in Visual Studio.
• Minesweeper in Assembly language using MASM instruction set.
• Dynamic Web Application for ISSB Consultancy using HTML5, CSS3, PHP, JS and MYSQL.
• Ping Pong game in JAVA along with GUI.
