I graduated from Syracuse University in August 2000, with Masters degrees in Civil Engineering and 
Computer Engineering. I am currently working as a software engineer in Civil Development Team within 
Autodesk, Inc., primarily known for its AutoCAD line. Our team is developing a CAD software for the 
Land Development industry and aims at introducing a paradigm change in the Civil Engineering software 
market. My responsibilities include writing C++ Software for civil engineering end-users that utilizes 
AutoCAD’s ObjectARX interface. Specifically, my work focuses on designing a consistent strategy for 
annotation of Civil objects, implementing styles that collect common attributes, enhancing styles with 
attribute inheritance, further enhancing annotations with user-defined attributes, and laying out 
foundation UI classes that consistently interact with a variety of Civil objects. In fact, my work 
entails the use of every ounce of knowledge that I earned through your classes. Thanks much for your 
extraordinary wisdom!
 
Sincerely,
Smita Narayan
