OBJECTIVE: To obtain a full-time position or an internship in embedded systems and hardware development.

EDUCATION:

MS-Electrical Engineering - Syracuse University (CGPA:3.44/4.0) Aug08-Aug10

Concentration: Wireless communications, analog and digital circuit design, audio DSP implementation.

BS-Exchange student at UW Milwaukee; (GPA: 3.59/4.0 a UWM) Jan08-May08

Concentration (Project): Real time voice encryption.

BS-Electrical Engineering-SRM University, India. (CGPA: 8.9/10) Aug04-Dec07

WORK EXPERIENCES: (2 years)

Blue Highway (Welch Allyn), Syracuse, NY Jan10-Present

Personal Status Monitoring Program: Worked with a multi-disciplinary team on the development of wireless wearable Bluetooth sensor nodes for monitoring vital signs.

Lead firmware development in a capture of sensor information and transfer to multiple gateway platforms. Scope included: schematic capture and PCB layout, microcontroller programming in C, radio interface, real-time com FIFO programming, and electronic design including component placement and board layout based on shape and size of the end product.

Blue-highway (Welch Allyn), Syracuse, NY Jun09-Jan10

Body Area networks program: Provided proof of concept for a low power, wireless, star topology body area network and a mesh monitoring networks.

The monitored parameters would be deployed across a mesh network providing transfers of body area network information and the ability to provide location-based-information in a hospital or other environment. The prototype effort was for demonstration purposes and was further developed in a second generation program defined as the personal status monitoring program.

Syracuse University lab, NY Jan09-Jun09

Firmware development program: Developed assembly level code for a fixed point DSP to manipulate audio bit streams in real time and produce digitally synthesized sound effects.

I developed algorithms to generate a triangular wave in the DSP allowing audio to “bounce” between the left and right channel speakers. The speed of the “bounce” could be controlled on the fly to create the reverb effect with time delays and cut off frequencies controlled on the fly and to introduce distortion in music when desired.

Electronics design lab, Milwaukee, WI Jan08-May08

Real time voice encryption: Demonstrated a radio based solution for secure wireless voice communication

The prototype had analog, digital and firmware design. Analog design included ADC, DAC, filters and amplifiers while digital design included a microcontroller and radio module. The firmware was responsible for encryption and decryption of audio bits. Two transceivers where built to demonstrate transmission and reception of audio.

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

Embedded C , C++ (Worked on MSP430 microcontroller, IAR embedded work bench, IDE for msp430-micro-controller, Keil development environment, 8051 microcontroller architecture, and programming.) Motorola DSP56300 assembly language, DSP56300 hardware simulator.

MATLAB, Simulink Xilinx block set,VHDL, Verilog, PSPICE.

PCB board layout and schematic capture (Eagle CAD, cadence allegro and PCBExpress).
