Maintained and enhanced Windows .NET C# based client application talking to native proprietary udp-broadcast protocol stack code written in native c++ library that runs on windows test-system to connect to linux based server to download test-patterns required to conduct device under tests using robotic means down the layers. Wireshark, tcpdump and 10GB fiber switch router specific configurations were performed.Designed and developed single bare-metal firmware module to support different micro-controller boards that are used to perform PID loop control system operations to manage heater and fan for thermal management inside storage-test product.Added thin-client framework to legacy complex middleware to facilitate automatic deployment of firmware module on boot of the embedded system. Interacted with given FPGA module to facilitate deployment on hot swap of DIO boards without rebooting the embedded system.Developed smart-bank algorithm and implemented fan-control enhancements to manage thermals in a storage test system.Solved complex field issues which are hard to reproduce with software injected test scenarios to exercise various error-recovery retries techniques to make production racks running with less downtime.

Design and develop built-in-tests and Alert submodules for the next generation embedded platform. Designed an abstract interface model with dependency injection principles to decouple application development not to depend on low-level peripherals which can be plug & play so that these can be modified without changing the application code. Implemented using boost C++ 1.56.0 library asio, strand and thread-pools for parallel execution of tests.

Linux multi-process application software development for connected network Link device to interact with tablet device using webserver integration and through serial port communication to interact with capital device on surgical tower.Achievement Highlights:• Ported discovery-protocol components from Smith-Nephew Lens4k product to link device, debugged socket-based programming in C, Linux systemctl services, gpio ports to control LEDs, shell-scripts and webserver side integration to configure multi-process application framework.• Collaborated with software verification team to work with Medical surgery tower setup to release Link device software.

Developed Android application for L3's ISW(Intra Solider Wireless) combat board platform. The application uses android's usb library to transmit and receive ISW protocol packets over UWB to perform data tranfer among ISW connected devices. Developed reference application user-interface, JNI development to interact with native c/c++ libraries and intergating ISW APIs into ATAK(Android tactical awareness kit) plugin frame-work,

Design of passing clientIDs in DirecTV home network setup to collect Advertisement statistics per client involved understanding of various subsystems of middle-ware and integration with java front-end, generating json based data to export it to cloud servers using REST API. Developed new java and c++ classes to implement the new-feature, used ant builds, written new junit and gtest unit-tests as and when required. Engaged in embedded software development, hardware set-up, software maintenance and release aspects on direcTV/ATT flagship satellite set-top-boxes as well as their new non-satellite Android(AOSP) based new client hardware platforms. Scaled Agile framework (Safe 4.0) methodologies and Atlasian tools were used.The software activities include debugging of complex software stack that consists of java front-end for GUI, JNI frame-work that talks to C/C++ middleware core in a multi-process and multi-threaded linux environment. gdb and legacy java debug tools were used to debug core-files.Worked with various communication prootocols such as RVU(Remote Viewer), Upnp, and wired/wireless internet protocol stacks while debugging network traffic from server set-top-box to mutlitple clients. Wireshark, tcpdump utilities are used.Integration, debugging and analyzing driver and software logs that use Broadcom's MIPS/ARM drivers which implement to a common driver interface(CDI) to media software stack.
