• Served as embedded Linux platform technical lead for the wireless router product group. These products were developed using TI AM37x and Qualcomm MDM9x15 chipsets. Both of these chipsets contain ARM-based processors.
• In addition to technical lead also responsible for the following:o Build environment of embedded Linux distributiono Open source package selection, integration, and runtime configurationo Boot loader modifications and.
• Worked extensively with HW team during design phase and initial board bring up.
• Established C coding guidelines and code review process used by the embedded Linux team.

• Designed and developed Linux device drivers for LSI Tarari T1000 and T2000 family of Content Processors. The device drivers were developed for X86 64-bit server platforms and MIPS 64-bit embedded platforms (RMI and.
• Developed automated build and regression test framework using bash and expect scripts.
• Assisted hardware engineers in isolating failures that were detected on the T2000 emulation platforms.

• Designed and developed Linux device drivers for WiMAX chip set that supports USB and SDIO interfaces. The device drivers were developed for Intel based laptops (USB) and a Freescale i.MX27 reference platform running.
• Designed and developed MAC protocol stack for two generations of WiMAX base stations. The first generation product consisted of an Intel based cPCI card running MontaVista Real-Time Linux. The second generation product.

• Designed and developed the following software for a PowerPC VxWorks system:
• Stanag 4575 file system for Fibre Channel HBA using SCSI FCP through a Raw Initiator SCSI interface.
• Common API for existing proprietary file system and Stanag 4575 file system.
• Multithreaded application for real-time recording and playback of data for FC disk using IRIG 106 Chapter 10 Flight Recorder Standard. Worked extensively with FPGA designer to analyze and correct PCI throughput issues.
• Real-time trace library.
• ELF object file loader.

• Designed and developed device driver and application library for 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch (SwitchCore) for database product. This software ran on a PowerPC (MPC860) embedded Linux system. The device driver.
• Designed (from RFCs) and developed DHCP client, DHCP server and TFTP server.
• Implemented Spanning Tree algorithm from IEEE Standard 802.1D.
• Implemented following modifications to existing Linux device drivers:o Bridge network driver - support for classification of Oracle client/server packetso Block driver - support for flash memory file systemo RS232.
