Career Objective:
To obtain a responsible and challenging position where my education and
work experience will have valuable application
Work Experience:
Currently working as a software development engineer, Bomgar corporation,
Ridgeland, Mississippi.
Summer intern, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Moss Landing, CA,
USA: Worked with a team of MBARI software engineers to bring oceanographic
instrumentation and its interactions onto the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).
Many test cases, written in Java programming language, were used to
interface with the Apache ServiceMix ESB, thereby to test the
functionalities like Message Routing, Transformation, and security provided
by ESB. Also, tools like Stylus studio and Oxygen were used for mapping
between various xml files.
Research Assistant in the field of Continuum Robotics, Department of
Electrical Engineering, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State,
USA: Being a member of Robotics research group at Mississippi state
university, our aim was to design and develop the continuum robots that
mimic the astounding capabilities of elephant trunks, octopus arms, and
mammalian tongues. Coding and simulation were done using C++ and Matlab
respectively.
Teaching Assistant for Microprocessors course, Department of Electrical
Engineering, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, USA : Lab
experiments were conducted on PIC24 micro controller. Resolving various
software and hardware issues, organizing lab tests for students, and
grading papers were part of my job.
Project Engineer, Real Time Embedded Systems, C-DAC R&D, Hyderabad, India:
Initially, pursued a diploma in embedded systems (6 months course work) at
Center for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), and acquired knowledge
in various real time embedded concepts like Real Time Operating Systems
(RTOS), RTLinux, ARM, DSP (ADSP 2181), Device Drivers, and wireless sensor
networks.
Later, as a project engineer at CDAC got the opportunity to work on the
prestigious Wireless-Sensor networks Application Research and Development
(WiSARD) project, which based on creating a pervasive computing
application, allows farmers to remotely monitor the essential field
parameters such as humidity, temperature, and solar radiation. Simulation
of the communication network among the motes (a multi-sensor node with
operating system and memory), and also between base station and motes was
achieved using OMNET++. The WiSARD project was a collaborative work of many
groups. However, being a member of the integration team, got the
opportunity to understand and coordinate with all other teams work. Most of
the development was done in C++.
Web Administrator, Department of Electrical Engineering, Mississippi state
university, Mississippi state, USA : Duties include development of the
department's web site and providing support for the department's database
server using open source web technologies like PHP, Java Script, HTML, CSS,
and MySQL.
Web developer, Institute for E-Governance (IEG), Hyderabad, India: The main
focus was to computerize the chosen government offices. Revenue Divisional
Office (RDO) and the Labor Welfare Department (LWD) were prioritized among
all others because of the amount of labor work involved. With Successful
deployment of these automation projects, drawbacks with manual process of
the Register maintenance system were solved. Thereby, accuracy and security
were greatly improved; moreover, delay in forwarding the petitions was
minimized.
Educational Qualifications:
Masters in Electrical Engineering with 3.81 G.P.A at Mississippi State
University, USA (2007 January -2009 December)
Bachelors in Electronics and communication engineering from JNTU, INDIA.
(2002-2005)
Diploma in Electronics engineering from State Board of Technical Education
and Training, INDIA (1999- 2002)
Key Skills:
Programming : C, C++, Core Java, Assembly, Matlab
Operating Systems : Win 9x/XP, Linux
Processors (?C, ?P, DSP) : ARM 7TDMI, AT 90S8515, ADSP 2181,
PIC18FXXXX
Real Time Operating Systems : RTLinux, MicroC/OS-II
Web Technologies : PHP, Java Script, HTML, and CSS
RDBMS : MySQL
Integration Platform : Apache ServiceMix
Graphics : Open Inventor, Coin3D
Projects:
Interval analysis and Jacobian null-space control for continuum
manipulators, research work, Mississippi State University, USA: Numerical
instability problems in kinematic formulations obtained when trunk-like
continuum robotic manipulators assume a straight posture were determined
using filib++ library. Implementation was done in C++. Matlab was used for
further analysis(graphs), simulation(Coin3D), and testing (MUnit).
3-Joint Robotic arm, Introduction to Robotics course project work,
Mississippi State University: Major responsibilities for this project
includes deriving kinematic formulations with forward and inverse
kinematics, design, simulation, and finally construction of the robotic
arm. PIC18F4550 was the micro controller chosen for this project. Coding
was done in C and Assembly. The final 3 joint robotic arm was autonomous
and successful to perform the assigned task.
Nano kernel, CDAC, R&D, INDIA: Nano kernel, a minimum operating system with
fixed number of tasks, like toggling LEDs and serial data communication,
written in assembly programming language. Timer 1 was used as the kernel
timer with a time slice of 10ms. After each time slice, tasks were
scheduled using round-robin algorithm, and the context switch took place in
the timer interrupt handler.
Design and validation of Energy Efficient Routing Algorithm for Wireless
Sensor Networks, CDAC, R&D, INDIA: Wireless sensor nodes consist of
sensing, data processing and communicating components. Recent advances in
wireless sensor networks require protocols specifically designed for sensor
networks where energy awareness was an essential consideration. The main
objective of this project was to design a protocol considering the
essential factors like power, cost, overhead, bandwidth, and route
establishment between a pair of nodes. Simulation was done using Network
Simulator-2(NS2) and OMNET++.
Activities and Achievements:
Volunteered to assist with several robotics competitions, such as the
FIRST, BEST, MSU robotics camp, and the SECON
Selected for the prestigious Summer Internship 2009 program at Monterey Bay
