Hussain Fakhruddin, India : Profile
I am a specialist in Open Source Software, I help organizations to build new business strategies for the open source economy. I setup enterprise frameworks based on open source and open standards.
I have various Open Source Projects under me :
a. JLingo : A framework for web applications using multiple languages.
b. HeartBeat: A project to manage services like Apache, tomcat, mysql remotely though SSH via a Library.
c. WebScrapper: A crawler to extract data from the web. It takes a lot of websites in a file and mines for emails, links, custom regex.
I am responsible for helping them Select the right product, I help them determine which open source product is suitable to solve a particular business problem. I determine the right product considering various factors, such as client requirements, cost, and technologies.
I have a wide experience in Providing knowledge about license policies. Many people know that – the open source software package is free and can be distributed and modified. They do not know about the licenses attached with the open source software package.
If needed I even help them Customize the open source product available in the market. The idea is – Don’t re-invent the wheel. Plenty of things are already available and if not, make it available and provide it back to the community for others!
Its impossible for any organization to be 100% Open Source. So I help them in Integrating different open source products to develop the best solution.
By using a combination of industry standards and open source products an enterprise can achieve the following:-
- Lower the initial (start up) costs of their projects.
- Tailor the technology to best suit their needs.
- Lower their subsequent deployment costs.
- Lower their ongoing costs of ownership. Influence the direction taken by their key technologies in a way never before possible
Some of the technologies which I prefer:
- Java and Enterprise Java Frameworks: Struts, Direct Web Remoting (DWR)
- Iphone Development: Mac OSX and IPhone sdk 2.2 through 3.1
- IDE: Eclipse Europa for all my Java and J2EE related stuff, Netbeans for Swing and Mobile Projects
- I do a lot of PHP and CLI scripting: I use ZEND Eclipse with PHP for PHP based projects
- JQuery : All Ajax and flashy CSS Effects.
- Cygwin: Task automation with bash/shell scripting on any platform.
- Horde/Thunderbird: Email Platforms
- Reporting: Pentaho Reporting and BI Tools.
- Servers: Apache Tomcat , Apache Web Server, Sun Java Appserver(SJAS)/Glassfish.
- Apache Software Foundation: I’m a big fan of almost all Apache projects.
- I am highly comfortable with MySQL -DBA level. -MySQL Administrator, SQLBrowser, PHPMyAdmin, PFMA
- I use Mantis bug tracking tool for all projects. Its quite simple and easy stuff..
- CMS: Wordpress, Joomla, Magento – Quite popular names, no need to talk about it.
I’m quite acquainted with the following domains:
- Stock Broking / Back office banking system
