Worked as Embedded Software Engineer Trainee for the VEA (Vehicle Electronics Architecture)
group for the FuelGuard™ (EAPU) and Central Vehicle Controller (MUX) projects
• Central Vehicle Controller (Mux): Developed and delivered the 32nd Vehicle Maturity Matrix to the
customer. Solved the TRAP bug by identifying the root cause as stack overflow using QR6S method
• FuelGuard™ (Electronic Air Processing Unit): End to End Owner for wrapper code development for
integration of AUTOSAR Simulink model with legacy code running on OSEK OS.
§ Improved efficiency of the system by 10.2 % by developing algorithm, embedded C code, error
handling and diagnostic services for alternate cartridge implementation.
§ Awarded “Job Well Done” for cost savings of $ 28,000 by automating system testing using python
scripting during release crisis.

Academic
Projects
— BLE based drone for monitoring ambience. Developed BLE custom profile using BLE stack for
transmitting data and implemented directed advertisement using ATMEL SAMB11 BLE module
— Developed a Wi-Fi based audio surround sound system with TCP/IP based webserver hosted on
Raspberry Pi 3, performed audio processing in TM4C123 ARM core
— Developed a vehicle-vehicle communication device for collision avoidance using CC2500 RF
module. Programmed using ARM-Thumb instructions for profiling ECU and embedded C
— Developing a rapid prototype to analyze the IoT protocols like MQTT, AMQP, CoAP through data
transfers to Amazon Web Server (AWS) through Raspberry Pi 3
