1. Developed using WPF, XAML, C#, Expression Blend, and Visual Studio 2008.
2. The application is based on MVC paradigm and is based on abstraction and interfaces. I introduced a data model and developed 14 interfaces. The whole idea was to allow the GUI designers, visual designers, and developers to work independently.
3. Developed several custom control templates: button, separator, gridSplitter, list items; minimize, maximize, and close buttons, etc.
4. Designed numerous types of brushes and created vector graphics.
5. Studied more than a dozen Citrix installs and through task analysis and thinking out of the box streamlined the entire install process to 7 steps.
6. Presented the prototype to over 25 Technical Relationship Managers across the globe, 7 companies, 20 external administrators, and to countless Citrites.
7. Conducted formal usability tests with 14 participants.

1. Provide tooltips on disabled buttons.
2. Draw the user's attention to areas in a dialog when the user clicks on a disabled button.
3. Change the contents of the tooltip each time the user clicks on a disabled button. Provide more informative text. I did this up to 2 levels.
4. Allow the user to drag windows by clicking and dragging in any empty space.
5. Provide an image of the wizard page as a tooltip when the user hovers over a step.
6. Provide embedded dialogs.
7. Dimmed parent window when a modal dialog was displayed.
8. The user could change the skin of the application on the fly. Primary purpose of this was to determine user preference, as well as provide a real world example to the development team of how to code when designs are delivered later.

Designed, architected, and documented 3 GUI approaches. The first approach was designed for a novice, second was designed for an expert, and third was designed for a novice user who may later become an expert user.

Designed, developed, and architected xreccursor- a component of the product xpreVue4.0 that interacts with a user when recording a session on a local display. It allows the user to add comments, dump window images, exit, etc. The entire interface is done through cursor manipulation. Each cursor is 64x45 pixels.

XStudio lets you create safe and reliable presentations of your X applications. It works analogous to a VCR on a computer. XStudio records a user session running your applications on an X Server. Like a VCR, XStudio(xplay, mmplayer, cmdmmplayer) allows this user session to be viewed later.

The set of links shown on the page was determined by carefully studying home pages of several universities.

The links for the home page are text based to provide access to the visually challenged user. Doing so enables viewers to understand the page with images turned off, a screen reader, and allows for resizing of fonts.

The graphical links on the home page are also provided in text form at the bottom of the page to provide quick access since text is displayed before graphics is drawn.

All images have alt tags specified. This provides access to a screen reader and thus help the visually challenged user. Moreover, it also provides information to users who have images turned off.
