Introduction to Operating Systems and Advanced Operating systems WORK EXPERIENCE

Systems Engineer Co-op – Vicor Corporation, Andover, MA January 2023 – July 2023

• Implemented automation test suite using CTO mainly for power processing.

• Developed automation testing procedures in the voltage trimming process for PRM 5. PRM5 is mainly designed for computing and automotive industry applications.

• Gained experience on PMBus and SMBus protocols used in I2C communication. Data Analyst – IDeaS – A SAS Company, Pune, India December 2019 - April 2021

• Enhanced system forecasting and decision making by mastering company products for data analysis and leading the implementation of two key projects: Recoding and NHSSP, which significantly updated system learning. Research Assistant – Goodwill Computing Lab, Northeastern University July 2022 – August 2022

• Analyzed hardware failures in a top-tier supercomputer, using Numpy and Matplotlib in python to examine interarrival and repair times and mapped failure distribution to evaluate spatial locality. ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Implemented Alternating Bit (ABT), Go Back N(GBN) and Selective Repeat (SR) protocols in C++. (Oct 2023 - Dec 2023)

• Built simulation models for ABT, GBN and SR protocols.

• Successfully demonstrated handling of packet transmission, error detection and flow control in a simulated network environment.

• Reliable data communication was achieved via advanced features such as sliding window, timer management and packet buffering.

Multi-threaded proxy server and client development (July 2023)

• Worked on developing a multi-threaded proxy server to accept a URL to fetch an output, return it to the client and save the output into an HTML page with an appropriate name, leveraging hyperthreading for improved throughput and reduced latency.

Computer Hardware and System Security (September 2022 – December 2022)

• Developed a secure, encrypted communication channel using AES and RSA cryptography algorithms from the OpenSSL library focusing on cipher analysis and performance evaluation and demonstrated the channel’s security by recovering a 16 – byte secret message via socket programming and showcasing its resilience against vulnerabilities in meltdowns.

• Preprocessed raw data which consisted of audio files of the 26-character keyboard audios and prepared them for neural nets and used MLPClassifier from sklearn library to train the model and discover the characters of a secret audio file.

• Implemented meltdown attack in C, a well-known microarchitectural attack which exploits out of order execution model by building a flush + reload cache covert channel and stole a secret at the workstation’s kernel memory space. TECHNICAL SKILLS

• Programming Languages: Python, C / C++, MATLAB, Perl, Assembly

• Software tools: ARM, Verilog, LTSpice, Cadence Virtuoso, Git

• Operating Systems: Windows, Linux, FreeRTOS

• Libraries: Numpy, Matplotlib, Pandas, sklearn, OpenSSL(encryption algorithms), OpenMp, pthread, MPI

• Communication protocols: I2C (PMBus and SMBus), SPI, UART, TCP/UDP (Socket programming), IEEE 802.15

• Equipments: Logic Analyzers, Oscilloscopes
