PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Product Manager, Senior Software Engineer – Intel Corporation

Lead Software Engineer - Intel Project

Burn-In

Low Cost Burn In (LCBI) is a tool used throughout Intel factories worldwide to test processor (mobile, desktop and server) before they are shipped to customers. As a lead software engineer for this $100M+, I am responsible for all the software and firmware for running the interface computers, and handler robotics for moving the parts to and from the chambers. The position also involves working with the supplier and sub-suppliers to track and ensure on time delivery of all products and parts.

Technology: Windows XP, VB.NET, Oracle, JSTL, JSP, J2EE, EJB, WebSphere, Eclipse, MS Excel, JMP, PL/SQL, Jasper, Tomcat

• Maintained web enabled applications for use by Intel assembly sites worldwide.

• Added functionality to generate reports dynamically based on factory indicators.

• Ported existing report rendering as ASP pages to make more portable and maintainable.

• Developed Dynamic Linked Libraries (DLLs) with core Intel proprietary business logic for deployment of interface software to factory users

• Developed flow process diagrams in Visio to mirror manufacturing processes and enable application developers to design their code around it

• Added functionality to DLLs to provide support for multi core products

• Developed scripts to change data in factory engineering database to ensure data integrity for reliability engineers

• Developed regression test suite to test all components of the interface software

• Wrote PL/SQL stored procedures to gather data from all tools worldwide to ensure conformance

• Designed scripts to be efficient for very large databases and for speed.

• Added indexes to SQL tables for faster and efficient access and also for faster application load times

• Added XML parsing and reading capabilities to load process parameters for DLLs

• Automated Copy Exact (CE!) audits by reading input parameters from XML file and writing audit output to .CSV files

Benchmarking & Performance Engineering

The objective of this project is to design and develop benchmarks on both C#/.NET and Java/JVM to exercise Intel platforms and to find performance issues in either Microsoft source codebase or Intel product architecture

Technology: Windows Server 2003, J2EE/Java 1.3, .NET, C#, MS Access, MS Excel, JDBC, UML, Rational Rose, XML, Stored Procedures, JBoss, Eclipse, IIS, Tomcat

• Developed benchmarks in Java & C# in .NET to evaluate performance of Xeon systems

• Developed linked list and trees as data structures to measure garbage collection performance metrics for both .NET/C# and Java/JVM environments

• Ported Java benchmarks to .NET ensuring correct procedure calls and language specific optimizations

• Recommended changes in IIS for network load affinitization by collection and analysis of SpecWEB99_SSL data on DP Xeon platforms.

• Ramped up compile time performance effort; setup equipment and gained familiarity with Microsoft build process; organized face to face and net meetings with team members in Chandler and Redmond.

• Developed workloads and obtained basic data; developed scripts to standardize and streamline data collection

• Communicated findings with team members and architects and made recommendations to senior management.

• Analyzed data and showed up to 11% possible improvement in workloads (SPECJBB, IPDemo, SciMark etc) with asynchronous memory operations. This contributed to the design of Configurable Data Ports.

• Analyzed results from instrumented code on object sizes involved in memory operations. A histogram of sizes involved in such memory operations was used in the decision to lower threshold to move from slow to fast strings.

• Drove changes into the .NET CLR that led to a 15-30% improvement in write barrier kernel across several applications/workloads as measured by Microsoft QA teams

• Collected and validated SoftSDV traces for IPDemo and SciMark client workloads.

Software Architect – Dell Inc

• Led the team for the integrated graphics solutions on Optiplex 960 and 760 and Latitude E Series successfully.

• Wrote specifications for the graphics solutions and the APIs to interact with Dell Control Point (DCP)

• Designed the interface between the Graphics, Display Panel and DCP teams to deliver Privacy Panel on Dell E6400

• Evaluated Marketing Requirements Documents (MRDs) to form engineering requirements and Functional Plans for Latitude and Optiplex LOBs

• Streamlined ODM enablement and reduced platform development time by upto 20%

• Created Vendor Statement of Work (VSoWs) to ensure adherence of vendors and partners to Dell requirements

• Provided guidance and consultancy to internal teams on gaps in Functional Plans for Intel Eaglelake, Cantiga, Ironlake and Calpella chipsets
