- Studied up on the new architecture, design, and dev tools by utilizing the team to train themselves. Set up topic lists and schedule and had the engineers disseminate what they learned to the entire team.- Component Lead responsible for a new product; Roadmap & resource planning for 50 matrixed across US, Germany, India; Utilized daily scrums to ensure proper progress and to expedite any training or help needed; Managed risk identification & mitigation. Agile methods were used for development.- Intel also migrated to git/gerrit and CI/CD using Jenkins.- Switched to a Kanban queue for planning and assigning work items and also asked engineers to only work on 1 item at a time. By limiting the work in progress, it ensured the highest priorities were being addressed appropriately, saw overall resolution time go down dramatically, and resulted in better sense of everyone working together on the good and urgent items.-Helped create a debugging tool in Javascript that could parse enormously big logs by filtering the relevant info, and at the same time, convert the unreadable hex dumps to meaningful descriptions. This resulted in a giant improvement in efficiency and overall understanding of the architecture/design, as well as the issues.- Responsible for people management of 10 direct engineers, including coaching/mentoring, evaluation, feedback, rewards planning(typically meritocracy). Also responsible for team's’ budget & capital expenditures tracking.

- Managed the delivery of several IPv6 features on Linux; utilized Agile iterative development to help cut down on the traditionally risky big bang approach that was being used previously; the overall product health was generally better and more consistent.- Migrated to git/gerrit and continuous integration/continuous delivery(CI/CD) utilizing Jenkins.- Microsoft WWAN data driver: Lead 7 person Agile team to design, develop, and deliver project in very short time by using some paired programming as well as a test first approach. Utilized daily scrums to manage project and priorities. Created automated test framework that expedited the initial testing, as well as the regression testing.- Managed the delivery of 2 Java applications on Android that enhanced the devices’ ability to switch between LTE & WiFi seamlessly using proprietary algorithms.- On 1st LTE product, lead cross functional teams addressing highest priority issues at certification lab, which involved 24/7 support. Also involved creation of Motorola’s 1st Android RIL(Radio Interface Layer).- Was reassigned onto a project(20 engineers) because it was behind. Was able to reinvigorate the team working on this project and get them personally invested again. This was achieved by higher personal energy and empowering them to feel more responsible for the project at large, not just their individual pieces. - Due to several other existing tools’ shortcomings, helped author a tool that used SQL with the defect database and presented the bigger sets of data more manageably.- Responsible for people management of 10 direct engineers, including coaching/mentoring, evaluation, feedback, rewards planning. Also responsible for team's budget & capital expenditures tracking.

- Lead a 3G Data Card project(50 engineers) which entered into a new product category; managed the overall project schedule, resource plan, risk identification/mitigation, and coordination of a cross functional team from initial project concept thru customer delivery. Reduced MTBF by 98% by initial product delivery. Patent scrubs.- Managed multiple 3rd party vendors beginning with the SOW(Statement of Work) and proceeding thru achieving KPIs(key performance indicators) and product delivery.- Implemented a software multiplexer that was responsible for IPC(Inter Process Communication)(3 engineers). It hid whether each peer was on the same processor or not. It also abstracted what the underlying transport mechanism was. Created a log analysis tool that was repurposed and leveraged as a major debugging tool on several products for system wide understanding and debugging of issues.- Responsible for people management of 8 direct engineers, including coaching/mentoring, evaluation, feedback, & rewards planning.

- Responsible for Roadmap Planning of the Data features in the 3G protocol stack.- Thru a new matrixed organization(5 direct, 12 matrixed), managed the estimation, planning, design, coding, and integration of various Data features of the GPRS & 3G protocol stack across US, India, France.- Responsible for identifying risks and their corresponding mitigation.- Responsible for the testing of the Data features. This included new test creation, sourcing new simulator equipment required, and maintaining existing tests and test systems. Started use of requirement to test case traceability matrix.- Utilized continuous process improvement thru RCA(root cause analysis) and DEA(defect escape analysis).- Responsible for people management of 5 direct engineers, including coaching, mentoring, evaluation, feedback.

- Managed the requirements, estimations, design, coding, and integration of the LLC & RLC components of the GPRS & 3G protocol stack.- Defined build plans; executed builds; trained others; created a tool to make the build process more efficient by finding and fixing issues before they were submitted to the build.- Supported InterOperability Testing(IOT)with the various network vendors since the technology was previously untested.- Went to H3G England numerous times to support initial technology development, as well as product commercializations.- Created a tool that all engineers could use to inject messages into the system as a type of debugging and rapid prototyping tool.- Helped continue to ramp up the 2 new development teams in India and France. Could provide 24 hr support.

- Ramped up on new technology and Protocol Stack software.- Part of team that architected and designed data path to be virtually “0 copy”, which was instrumental in achieving the highest data rates on GPRS (This was especially important for 3G and LTE).- Identified gaps in the team structure of Build & Configuration Management(CM), as well as Integration. This allowed the team to be more independent and efficient, and move at the quicker pace that the bleeding edge technology demanded.- Achieved 1st ever GPRS data session between a real BSS/GSN and a real mobile device.- Supported (IOT)with the various network vendors since the technology was previously untested.- Went to England numerous times to support initial technology development, as well as product commercializations.- Was part of the team that helped establish & ramp up 2 new development teams in India and France.- Participated on team that helped ensure the org achieved SEI CMM Level 3 for the first time.
