PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

July 2003 - present

Company: Telecom Egypt

Position: Head of Technical Support for Transmission General Admin.

I am recently working in Transmission department. I got to gain knowledge about PDH and SDH equipments and

fiber cables (generally optical transmission systems). Also I got training on different fields during this period

(language, fiber optical systems, project management, computer network protocols). Also I got training abroad in

Siemens ITI at Munich (Germany) on new hiT7070 & hiT 7050 transmission equipments and TNMS management

system on August 2006.

Knowledge about transmission technologies such as PDH, SDH, DWDM, SONET, Microwave, fiber optics

systems and multiplexers esp. For Siemens co. Implementations and equipments.

Implemented various packages of software using C# and C++ to help making precise reports for traffic

utilization, and scripts generation to automate operating SDH multiplexers.

Implemented Android apps facilitate fiber cables maintenance work and fault location using GPS sensor

and TE database.

Implemented WinCE app to work on GPS device (Trimble GPS device) that facilitates collecting data and

routes survey, which also can give much help during faults time.

Implemented software package which can backup and restore Siemens hiT equipment efficiently and in

short time. Also gives the option to modify cross connections.

Implemented an embedded system to enable remote connection for MW devices (Ericsson). It’s a system

like Ethernet to RS232 converter with some high demands of timing accuracy. It was implemented using

FPGA, MCU of Microchip PIC, and finally Arduino. The same system provided telemetry interface for remote

alarm gathering and environmental readings.

January 2008- present

Company: Freelancer @ www.freelancer.com

Position: Freelancer & Team Leader.

I work as a freelancer in my free time on www.freelancer.com. I have a small team of programmers; we do most of

the jobs together. My profile page can be found at http://www.freelancer.com/u/usamacpp.html

Worked on various type of projects using many technologies and techniques

Used C++(MFC), C#.Net, Objective-C, and Java languages.

Worked on DB, computer vision, Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Smart Phone (iOS & Android),

WinCE, Win 8, and many other types of projects.

Implemented many hardware systems such as elevator control system using PIC16F877 microcontroller

for Microchip & using FPGA, Serial (RS232) converter to Ethernet using VHDL using Spartan 3E Xilinx FPGA

and using Arduino, Ethernet bandwidth control using VHDL on Spartan 3E Xilinx FPGA, and Multi output 3-

Phase Transformer controller which can automate output selection using Netduino & Arduino.

Implemented communication protocols on FPGA such as RS232, I2C, Ethernet MAC, TCP/IP, LCD, and VGA.

Using Xilinx Spartan 3E devices & Spartan6 devices.

I designed and implemented my own simple CPU in VHDL to be used in any FPGA application as it’s a very

tiny CPU, Also I built a simple assembler to be used with this CPU.

January 2003- July 2003

Company: Evershield (Cairo)

Position: Software engineer

Evershield is an English company working in the field of producing Fire & Gas Alarm panels and addressable

systems sensors heads. I was responsible of producing software packages to connect to those panels to manage

them and manage alarms, history, and so on. Also I made other packages to configure those panels.

I used C++ (MFC) to implement various software packages.

Serial port communication via RS232 port to external hardware (System Panels).

I worked on vector & raster images in order to display them such as WMF, EMF, JPG, and BMP. The main

app had to show maps and implement Zoom, and pan functions.

Implementing software side communication protocol with fire & gas panels.

Heavy usage of multi-threading and network communication (TCP sockets) work done.

DB connection implemented using ODBC.

Inter-process communication using System Pipes.

April 2002 – December 2002

Company: Egypt & Middle East

Position: Photocopier maintenance engineer

Maintenance of Panasonic Photocopiers of various models.
