Automated Library Management System for Central Library, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh. A slightly restricted web-version of this software could be accessed here. There is a huge standalone desktop application running in the library to manage all internal activities performed by the library personnel and the library users. This project was documented using UML and developed using Oracle 9i as the back-end server, Visual Basic 6.0 for its front-end programming, Crystal Report/Access/VBA for reporting, and ASP/VB-script for web access. I have extensive participation in this project; I started as a programmer and in course of time, I became the project lead; I therefore have direct experience in all activities of this project.

Automated Sales, Inventory, and Accounting Management System for Ethical Drugs Limited , a pharmaceutical company in Bangladesh. This project was developed completely in FoxPro2.6 while I was an undergraduate student during 1996 to 1999. This project tremendously helped me develop bullet-proof programming skills. I learnt from my direct experience how important robust programming is for commercial applications.
