- Executed a cross-functional Android architecture re-design effort for multiple Android targets in Qualcomm, working with ~25 teams that will result in improvement of build times by 50%, possible benefits in bringing up new Android targets as well as a clean, evangelized Android architecture in Qualcomm.- Worked closely with Google to optimize the Android.

San Diego, California

• Added 4k and 10-bit HDR (High Dynamic Range) support along with VC-1 and MPEG-2 video formats support for Gstreamer hardware decoder and display plugin based on Wayland/Weston- Optimized buffer transer between plugins.
• Added dynamic loading of symbols from file descriptor functionality to GNU C library (glibc) so as to enable loading secure encrypted libraries without writing it on the filesystem and hence prevent access to the.
• Gained insights on the Yocto build system and Autotools while enabling the decoder and display Gstreamer plugins

Cambridge, Massachusetts

• Implemented signal processing algorithms in the testing system for the grippers using pressure sensor feedback to automate the testing system. This resulted in instantaneous failure detection and prevented data.
• Setup the pneumatic testing rigs to run multiple rigs simultaneously at high operating frequency
• Improved the MATLAB based Graphical User Interface to automate updating repository, improved usability and added error logs
• Learnt about Scrum model for product development

Greater Atlanta Area

• Market research for the required hardware such as hydrophones and antenna circuit boards.
• Record cichlid fish sounds and identify courtship and aggression sounds using MATLAB
• Integration of sound recording with Raspberry Pi
• Set up magnetic coil setup to detect RFID fish tags to localize fish position data in the fish tank

SRM University

• Secured 1st rank upto the Critical Design Review (CDR) Presentation Stage in CANSAT 2015.
• Managed the complete finances amounting to Rs.1.3 million as well as the logistics of the team.
• Enabled seamless connectivity between the Payload and the Container of the CANSAT with perfect telemetry.

SRM University

• Secured 2nd rank worldwide in CANSAT 2014.
• Interfaced all the sensors and programmed the flight software on Arduino interface especially the DataFlash memory which led to a significant decrease in the weight of the CANSAT by the elimination of SD Card.

Chennai Area, India

• Assisted a wearable device project for non-invasive monitoring of physiological parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure.
• Executed a market research for all the components as well as for PCB manufacturers.
• Interfaced 16 bit RISC architecture based low power Texas Instruments microcontroller with Pulse Plethysmographic sensor, OLED display and Bluetooth module using JTAG debugger and Code Composer Studio (Java based IDE).
• Designed an ARM based microcontroller PCB with Serial debug Interface and micro USB power circuitry board using Altium Designer 15.
