Collaborating remotely with a 6‑person development team under Dr. Thia Kirubarajan, a professor at McMaster University, on R&D projects for the defence and the transportation sector.- Leading the design of a real‑time, C++ framework for CRN360—a machine learning based cognitive radio network aimed at achieving robust and secure communication in degraded environments.- Developed a satellite data provider in C++ and Python to access SAR and multispectral imagery from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and RCM for change detection over a region of interest.- Developed a configurable C++ computer application for multi‑camera motion planner in real‑time target tracking for maritime lookout. - Developed a multi‑target multi‑weapon assignment algorithm for efficient resource allocation.- Developed a collection of plugins for end‑to‑end simulation of hypersonic pursuit‑evasion scenario.

Served as the lead software developer within a team of 8 engineers, to modernize PLC‑based motion control systems in public nuclear power plants, where I successfully delivered projects spanning a budget of Rs. 150 million.- For a 2‑ton multi‑axis field manipulator: Developed a fault‑tolerant control system ensuring low‑risk semi‑automated operation, which achieved a positioning accuracy of 1mm. Developed a shortest path algorithm for collision avoidance and designed the localization strategy. Proposed and engineered a real‑time calibration system for electro‑mechanical absolute value encoders to mitigate the effects of backlash in rack and pinion systems.- Modeled flow valves for a positive-pressure mechanical ventilator in SIMSCAPE and designed a multi-loop control using SIMULINK to achieve an inhale flow settling time of 10ms while maintaining a constant PEEP.- Developed the interlocks and sequential decision logic for a safe fuel upending and transfer operation in the C‑1 PWR, reducing the refueling time to a couple of days from one week.- Optimized the software of a 2‑axis motion control system to mitigate the communication packet dropouts and precisely guide a flexible belt using CANopen servo drives in a steam generator for scaling removal.- Wrote low-level C routines and developed an experimental setup to generate and capture electromagnetic pulses from the activity on the data bus between the CPU and the RAM.- Spearheaded the development of system functional requirements, ensuring alignment with the project objectives and technical specifications.- Conducted system performance validation, approved the installation plan, and led the commissioning activities to ensure the system operational requirements.- Authored software design documents, operating procedures, and conducted interactive sessions with end‑users (operators) to instill confidence in the delivered system, resulting in a significant increase in customer satisfaction.

Developed a complete PLC program of Siemens S7‑400 PLC for the digital electro‑hydraulic system of a 300MW steam turbine as well as conducted hardware‑in‑the‑loop tests to improve the governor valve response and ensure a seamless transfer between impulse and MW modes of operation.
