component to retrieve and store modem information (baseband chip) on application flash
(application chip) in a flash-less bridge configuration.
● Development of Radio Interface Layer within the Limo system for a modem producer. This involved
the full development of the various sub-modules of the RIL, e.g. call control, messaging, USSD,
etc, and module/functional testing of the implementation.
● Upgrading of LTSY from Symbian 9.2 to Symbian 9.4 for a modem producer, for use on UIQ
device. This task was only partially completed due to the changes within the Symbian community,
i.e. formation of Symbian Foundation, wind-up of UIQ, etc.
● Development of an automated call answering S60 application for network operator. The application
would answer calls after user specified time interval and would send personalised SMS and/or
personalised recorded message to the caller. Complete UI and use of Symbian MMF was required
in this application.
● Project manager/Team leader of a project to produce a J2ME phonebook client for a software
provider. The client was customisable to work on various devices and their JVMs. It was possible
for the client to auto-sync, manually sync, add contacts and update contacts with the server. The
client was upgraded towards the end of the task to accept command SMSs from the server to allow
for server initiated events.
● Feasibility study for a marketing company with respect to developing an application to be used on
RIM (Blackberry) devices. The application was to gather all available user statistics, e.g. calls
made/received (including numbers), browsing activity, download activity, etc. These data were
stored locally on the device and at specified times or when data size reached specified size the
data was to be downloaded to a server.
● Development of Symbian IPC driver for device manufacturer. The specific task within the whole
project was the development, integration and testing of the EHCI component. The development
was for the TI OMAP 3430
● Design and development of a UIQ3 user Start-up guide application, designed to walk the user
through common features and functionality of the device and increase familiarity of the UIQ
platform. The application was designed to auto-start from boot-up and was localisable for all major
languages.
● Implementation/Debugging/Testing of a MontaVista Linux 3D graphics accelerator driver suite for a
silicon IP vendor. The target hardware platforms were the TI OMAP 2420 and 2430 SDPs. The
target hardware was running Linux kernel version 2.4. Early development was carried out using
x86 hardware running openSUSE and Kubuntu, both of which used Linux kernel version 2.4. The
driver suite comprised kernel modules and shared objects, and was integrated with existing
OGLES, OVG and EGL libraries.

3. ● Technical authority and requirements analysis and team leader for the development of a
customised AJAR platform, for integration onto Tracfone (prepaid) enabled handsets. Role
included designing the new Tracfone service and related APIs; liaising with customer OPMs and
ODMs; project/resource planning; provide technical guidance/assistance to team, customer
architects/managers and the product team; documentation and team leading. Debugging of AJAR
platform and AJAR applications.
● Development of a device selection strategy for testing and quality-assuring a GPRS-based betting
application to run on 300 devices from 30 different device families. Formulated device selection
strategy, including work on test harnesses. The strategy was based on four key areas: Full System
tests, Functionality tests, User Acceptance tests and regression tests.
● Design and development and integration in C/C++ of the core engine and embedded data structure
for a Windows-based magazine authoring tool. The tool allows full editing and manipulation of
magazine content and images, and was specifically designed to interface with a range of
embedded mobile platforms.

● Enhancements to a large-scale C++ Series 60 application to support different versions of Series 60
on a range of hardware platforms.
● Development of a Symbian Series 60 C++ multimedia application for a leading manufacturer of
Symbian Series 60 smartphones. The project spanned Series 60 versions 2.1, 2.6, 2.8 and
3.0. The application automatically collates and synchronises all of the user’s different types of data
(including images, videos and messages) for browsing, viewing and manipulating within one
common tool. Particularly responsible for leading the test team and developing the test
specifications and defect tracking system.
● Design and development of an embedded abstraction layer in C for the TI OMAP platform. The
software was developed to interface between MMI software and the Application Manager on a
mobile handset. The project also required enhancements to the MMI to allow it to interface to the
Abstraction Layer.
● Team leader for the integration of a GPRS Protocol stack (layers 2 and 3) onto a mobile handset.
The project involved development of test software in C to interface with layer 1 and 2 code.
● Team leader for subsequent System Testing of the GPRS Stack. Responsible for system testing
and debugging of layer 1 (RLC), layer 2 (LLC/SNDCP/RLC/MAC) and layer 3 (GMM)
interfaces. Embedded test scripts were developed to run on Anite Stand Alone Testers (SAT’s).
● Team leader for the integration of a WAP Browser on to a mobile phone. Development included the
creation of a device abstraction layer and APIs between the mobile device layer 2 software and the
browser. As team leader, responsible for resolving issues relating to requirements and
interpretation of WAP specifications with both the mobile phone manufacturer and the browser
provider.
● Design and development of a unit test environment in C for major mobile handset software
development projects. The system tested code overnight and informed the development team of
any problems. The software was designed with no direct user interaction, and logged individual test
steps and results. A Perl script built and ran the test harnesses using XML parameter files and
collated the results. Results were output to a text file and included Bullseye coverage information.
The system also mailed the development team Lint and summary information if any of the data
showed that code had failed predetermined goals.
● Design and development of a generic Requirements Management tool using Perl and MySQL. The
tool uploads text files containing requirements (SW and UI), test cases, and test results into the
database. The tool is accessed through a browser using Perl generated HTML files. The tool
presents current requirements as a table, the complete history of the requirements (including what
was changed in each version), list of test cases, traceability of the requirements with respect to
each other and the test cases and the test results.
● Feasibility study for the development of a Generic Mobile Platform for the TI OMAP platform. This
project involved the investigation of a chipset manufacturer’s current platform with respect to the
development of a fully customisable generic platform. The initial role in this project was to apply
use-case analysis on proposed new applications, followed by a feasibility study. Subsequently

4. analysed the impact of adding an application manager and a screen manager with respect to the
MMI, and how the MMI could be modified to fit the Model View Controller (MVC) model with
maximum code reuse.
