So many engineers keep traveling abroad, but wonder how many of them get to take a product prototype out to the western market, run field trials on heavy duty vehicles that conform to global standards and open up a business opportunity overseas for a made in India product!Strategic technology consulting Technical pre-sales consultingAligning competency development to the businessEngineering consultingEmbedded systems designIntellectual Property consultingWas instrumental in a technical pre-sales role in creating prototypes, technical proposals towards signing up and executing challenging hi-tech projects with global customers in various technologies:1) Robotic arm movement control for colour calibration, using LabView2) Printer driver for industrial (packaging) printer, on Windows3) Touchscreen MMI for drink dispenser, on embedded Linux4) HD Radio driver interface porting, from FTDI to Cypress platform5) Portable video up-link kit for field cameramen, based on FFmpeg on embedded Linux 6) Mac/iPhone app development for consumer electronics customers7) Android multimedia application development, involving MPEG-2TS and video codecs8) Internet live streaming framework, with multiplatform, multiclient support, using customized FFmpeg and Wowza ServerContributed as technical consultant in various customer projects such as:1) Health care gateway - Development of drivers on Embedded Linux platform for interfacing Bluetooth stack, Wi-Fi etc.2) Advanced Vehicle Data Recorder - Embedded development of camera/video codec (H.263), audio, GPS , CAN/J1939 interface, custom sensors, event trigger, storage data structures and Wi-Fi/3G upload protocol

Linking up core technical/delivery competencies to new business leads.Technical manager of the onsite/offshore R&D team working in internet printing innovations for Hewlett Packard, Imaging & Printing Lab at San Diego, CaliforniaAssessment team member for the successful vendor evaluation by the TQRDC team at HPSenior Technical Manager of the R&D team working for consumer electronics silicon-valley start up customer. The customer asked us, "Can you stream live video over Bluetooth 2.0?". We showed him how. Involved in the design of communication protocol and complex data structures like circular buffers for media (video/audio) with high reliability operation in all scenarios of recording, playback, seek and erase.Co-development usually means the early development of embedded firmware using a development board while the actual hardware board design gets ready. Co-development saw a different level of abstraction - portions of the product having algorithmic complexity were developed on a desktop environment using portable C coding standards with the use of stubs and drivers, tested extensively and then ported to embedded platform along with the relevant drivers. The customer was granted patent for the design. The product went on to win the top no.3 spot at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 2011
