Programmer AnalystOpel Systems Inc Apr 2015 - Apr 2016Troy, Michigan, UsI completely owned the design and development of new Fan algorithm for Data center switches.- Understanding of Thermal algorithm designed by the Thermal team and implemented and tested in software.- Designed the generic software to fit the algorithm for nearly 15 different switches.- Defined and executed Unit test cases to cover all the corner cases of the new thermal algorithm.- Took complete ownership of implementation of algorithm in the software, interacted with other stakeholders like hardware engineers, thermal engineers, project managers and delivered the software on time -
Senior Software EngineerTexas Instruments Feb 2013 - Feb 2015Dallas, Tx, UsAt TI, I was mainly involved in design, development and maintenance of video drivers for TI automotive SOC's. I completely owned display driver for Display Sub system(DSS) IP. Was involved right from reviving of IP spec to supporting customers to go to production. Exposed to all stages including defining driver requirements for Video IP's, Pre-silicon validation,Bare-metal software development, Pre-silicon validation, driver development, board bring-up, silicon bring-up, customer support. Was known as display expert across different teams in TI.- Design and development of display driver from scratch for Tda2xx and Tda3xx platform under BIOS OS. Designed the driver stack into HAL layer, core layer and driver layer. HAL and Core layers are non-OS based.All OS related functionality was pushed to top layer. HAL and core layers were used by "IP validation" and "SOC validation" teams for validating the Video IP's. This way all teams used the same software and most of the Software bugs were caught in Pre-silicon phase itself and silicon bring-up time was drastically improved.- worked on Sil9022a decoder(off-chip HDMI IP), FPD-link and LCD panel drivers.- Closely worked with Tire1 customers to understand the final use-cases and derived the component level requirements.- Involved in the review of DSS IP specification and suggested many improvements in next versions of IP.- Supported Various customers in bringing up display on their boards.Customer Support and Training.- Fully owned the support of Video drivers.- Participated and resolved critical customer support cases- Training to Tier1 customers on video hardware blocks and driver design in TDA2XX & TDA3XX platforms. -
