PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

. Inventory Tracking Application for Smart Pallet using RFID

Sept 2009 - May 2010

o Aim of the project was to construct hardware and software that can

tract and report inventory real-time.

o Sketched entire model using Google sketchup-3D Tool.

o Designed pallet mounted with antennas to read RFID tags for

continuous monitoring of products during shipment.

o Designed software based on client-server methodology where client

refers to application interface and server refers to database where

all the tag information is stored.

o A software referred to as middleware is installed on the computer

that is directly connected to "RFID" Reader which performs the

operation of inputting data (tag ID) read by the reader in to the

server.

o Performed reliability test for different antenna position.

o Project was done in collaboration with client, EASTMAN KODAK.

. Corporate R&D - Mobile Operating System and Application

May 2008 - Mar 2009

o Aim of the project was to prevent data loss during device loss of

theft.

o Performed market survey to select 2 mobile OS and 2 mobile devices

used by business clients.

o Developing application for Windows Mobile OS and BlackBerry OS that

will disable the mobile device through the database server to

protect the data.

o Designing interface system for communication between database

server and mobile device.

o Test the communication system for each of the devices selected.

o Project was done in collaboration with client, PAETEC

COMMUNICATIONS.

PROJECTS

. PLC Based Process Control for Vending Machine

Sept 2008 - Dec 2008

o Aim of the project was to design a PLC controlled vending machine

using SLC 500 controller.

o The ladder logic program was developed using RS Logic 500 to

dispense the items according to the customers need.

o The preliminary electrical and hydraulic schematic for the process

control was developed using AUTOCAD-2008.

. Active Car Suspension System

Dec 2007 - Mar

2008

o Aim of the project was to improve the ride quality by reducing the

output oscillations due to uneven road surface.

developed.

. Planar Compact Antenna

Jan

2007 - Mar 2007

o Aim of the project was to develop compact antennas having

applications under various compact electronic devices.

o Real-time simulations were performed using Ansoft simulation

software to optimize design parameters of microstrip patch antenna

to achieve the desired results.

o The designed antennas were fabricated and tested at Indian

Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai.
