EDUCATION Master of Science - University of Texas, Arlington GPA: 3.82/4.00 Jan 2015 - May 2017 Bachelor of Technology - University of Kerala, India GPA: 3.50/4.00 May 2014 Designing Pre-emptive Co-operative RTOS on ARM Cortex M4F: Designing Real Time Operating System using kernel functions like yield, sleep, wait, post in C with support from semaphores and mutex. Programming both Co-operative and Pre-emptive RTOS from scratch on TIVA C series ARM Cortex. ARM7 microcontroller based bidirectional peer to peer communication using RS485: ARM Cortex M4F TIVA controller sends the packet using binomial exponential back off algorithm until it receives an acknowledgment via RS-485 from peer. A huge set of commands which include acquiring the data, displaying on LCD etc. were implemented.
