RELATED EXPERIENCE:
Embedded Software Engineering Intern, Flextronics International, Irving, TX
[Sep 2015 - Present]
Pella Insynctive Bridge:
[Embedded C, Bash script, MPLAB IDE, WinSCP, SourceTree, Github]
Supported Pellas home automation system (IoT) - PIC development in Embedded C for RF data transmission
and reception between Freescale i.MX28 processor and SX 1278 transceiver. Currently helping team to prepare
manufacturing Insynctive Bridges for Pella Corp by flashing software release and performing regression testing.

Tool to dump working table to ASM logs:
[C, Makefile, GDB debugging, GNU toolchain, SUSE Linux]
Created a stand-alone application consisting C source code and Makefile which reads parameters from a binary
file of the working table and prints out information in a human readable format to help finding any invalid data.
Trigger feature for Set-Top Box:
[Embedded C, C Standards, Mantis, Clearcase, JIRA, Agile methodologies]
Implemented a string extractor, parser and validator in Embedded C for the cutting edge feature called Trigger
for EchoStars latest products which shows up as an icon or clickable text within a television broadcast program.
Efficiently performed a role of Scrum Master organizing Agile practices for the project of Triggers.
CERTIFICATIONS: Jira, Mantis and Clearcase; Introduction to Linux; Coding practices; Satellite Preliminaries
Embedded Firmware Intern, Teksun Microsys Pvt Ltd, Gujarat, India
[June 2012 - Dec 2012]
Lambda Control System (LCS): Developed LCS with Microchip PIC 18F series of microcontroller for controlling
the flow of CNG GAS using stepper motor in CAR engine. Defined an algorithm for maintenance of the Air Fuel
Ratio to achieve maximum fuel efficiency for LCS based on acquired data from O2 and TPS sensors.
Petrol to Alternative Fuel Conversion System: Designed and assembled fuel conversation device based on
ATMEGA 8 microcontroller with digital display. User can switch current fuel supply to alternate fuel using device.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
Simulation of Moving Balls using ARM Cortex M: [CCS, TI MSP430, ARM Cortex M4, Assembly, C, JAVA, UART]
Programmed TM4C123G Launchpad Evaluation Kit in Embedded C to compute ball position and velocity values
considering force of gravity and laws of motion to send it to JAVA GUI using UART communication.
Simulated two dimensional kinetic behaviors of rigid balls within a square area bounded by non rigid boundaries
using JAVA GUI.
Zspark Cloud based Smart Thermostat
[Raspberry Pi, Raspian OS, Embedded C, Eclipse IDE, JAVA, TCP/IP]
Built smart low cost thermostat system using Raspberry Pi, regular thermostat and relay board which can be
controlled remotely using iPhone mobile application communicating via http and tcp/ip protocol.
Established a feature called Auto mode which sets temperature of home automatically for a week by smart
learning using server database storage.
Redesign of UNIX V6 System:
[C, Visual Studio, UNIX file system programming, writing shell]
Redesigned UNIX file system by modifying superblock, inode, directory to get rid of file size limitation of 16 MB.
Facilitated user by writing a shell in C with commands such as initfs, cpin, cpout, mkdir, and quit to access the file
system of a foreign operating system based on user specified number of blocks and inodes.
