About me
I love software development in all its flavors. From the restraints and constraints of embedded software development to the incredibly complex application software development, I enjoy it all. I am eagerly looking forward to working in an environment that constantly challenges me and makes me push my design, analytical and programming skills to new limits. I am on an F-1 visa with OPT work authorization, and have utilized only 3 months of OPT so far.

Project details
1) Air System Model June 2007 - Aug 2007
The Air System Model is a mathematical representation intended to calculate signals of the air system where sensors cannot be used directly. The model uses data from other existing sensors (the intake manifold, turbo charger, engine, EGR, exhaust manifold). The project involved the analysis of the mathematical model and software implementation in C of the often complex, non-linear mathematical equations. Also required implementation of non-linear control functions such as PT1- filters and Ramp responses with delays. Although essentially an implementation in the upper layers of the software architecture, the project also required usage of underlying features of the ERCOS operating system.
2) Combustion Noise Sensing (CNS) developed for Ford US market – F150 Oct 2006 - May 2007
This was a project that was intended to determine and reduce the Combustion noise in a diesel engine. The design required severe number crunching calculations to be performed within a 1ms duration. This meant using the DSP processing abilities of the tricore processor. To improve efficiency, the design was implemented partly in Assembly language. The work also involved development of drivers to read the analog and digital data from the CNS sensors. During the design phase, the project required a short stint in Germany targeting requirements gathering, analysis and discussions with the system engineering team.
3) Mass Airflow Sensor Device Encapsulation Feb 2006 – Sept 2006
A mass airflow sensor is used to find out the mass of air entering a fuel-injected engine. This project involved implementation of the device encapsulation software for this sensor, including scaling, conversion into physical units and standard OBDII diagnostics.
4) CAN Rapid Control Prototyping Protocol (CRCPP) Oct 2005 - Jan 2006
CRCPP is a customer specific and proprietary protocol used for prototyping and modeling using the CAN (Controller Area Network) as a medium. The protocol helps in the communication between a Matlab/dSpace prototyping unit and the Bosch Engine control ECU. The prototyping unit performs dynamic calibrations on the ECU software and requests measurements in real-time to assess the response. Development was done in C and CAPL.
Academic Projects
FPGA Based Implementation of a Rake Receiver
University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
Implementation using 21-node Xilinx/Nallatech cluster resource at University of Florida using VHDL and DIMEtalk. The Rake receiver was designed using a reconfigurable architecture to use the inherent parallelism of a rake and gain significant computing advantage. MATLAB was used for pre-processing data, i.e. to convert an audio signal to a transmitted signal format which was then fed to the rake designed to recover original signal.
An Evaluation of Erlang as an Implementation Language for High-Performance Parallel Applications
University of Florida, Gainesville Florida
Feasibility study of Erlang for parallel applications by comparing it against the performance of MPI. Comparisons done by porting Intel MPI Benchmarks (IMB) to Erlang and custom micro-kernels written for both paradigms. The benchmarks and micro-kernels were selected to compare different facets of programming: computation, communication and load sharing.
Pipelined Instruction Set Simulator (Based on the 5 stage MIPS pipelined processor)
University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
C++ implementation of a simulator, complete with an assembler. The Instruction set simulator (ISS) was designed for a custom assembly language, closely resembling the MIPS instruction set. The CPI was further improved using Tomasulo algorithm.
Electrical Power Factor Measurement and Controller (Based on the Atmel 8052 microcontroller)
ACI Systems and Services, Chennai, India
The application is aimed at reducing electrical power consumption in medium scale industries with heavy electrical load by optimizing power factor in real time. This involved design of both Hardware and Software, and has been validated and cleared for the market.
