EDUCATION

Master of Science, Electrical Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington (Current GPA: 3.56) August 2018 – (Expected) May 2020 Bachelor’s in Technology, Electronics and Communication, ITM-Gurgaon July 2008 – June 2012

(Institute of Tech. and Management, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, Haryana) PROJECTS

● Embedded Real-Time Operating System: Designed a RTOS for ARM Cortex M4F based microcontroller with mixed preemptive - cooperative priority scheduling and priority inversion prevention. Implemented synchronization using mutex and semaphores. A shell interface was designed with a task manager that displays CPU usage of all the threads, IPC status, execution of commands for suspending, starting tasks and cycling between priority or round-robin scheduling.

● Low power Wireless IoT sensor network: Designed a Low Power Wireless Internet of things sensor network using ARM Cortex M4F based microcontroller as MQTT gateway and Open Source Mosquito Broker as MQTT server on Raspberry-Pi. Implemented MQTT API, power management firmware, TCP/IP stack supporting ICMP pings and DHCP client for gateway-device and a lightweight wireless protocol for the sensor network. Implemented test server applications for network testing using POSIX sockets and multithreading using pthreads.

● Embedded Device Driver development: Implemented device drivers and API framework for ARM cortex M4, tm4c123 and stm32f4 series controllers, using industry coding standards and object-oriented practices in Embedded C. Designed Peripheral drivers (GPIO, SPI, UART, I2C, TIMERS and RTC). Tested the API drivers by designing hardware test bench, logic analyzer and oscilloscope.

● 32-bit 4 stage pipeline RISC microprocessor: modeling and analysis based design of 32-Bit RISC processor load-store architecture with a 4-stage pipeline, The Processor design followed Harvard Architecture with load-store based custom instruction set with goal of 1 clock cycle execution per instruction. Designed data forwarding and stall-based hazard resolution and interface to 2-way set associative cache cache controller.

● Internet of Things (IoT) wireless network-based Home Automation System: Led the firmware development on a team project responsible for implementing Wireless IoT network (WPAN) over 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum based on slotted Aloha channel access method. Developed the architecture and firmware in Embedded C for wireless messaging protocols used for communication between device and IoT bridge.

● Handheld LCR Meter: Firmware and hardware development for measuring Inductance, Capacitance and Resistance using tm4c123gh6pm (ARM Cortex M4F controller). Command Line interface was implemented for unit testing and supporting commands for measurements. WORK EXPERIENCE
