2. Experience Summary
I have more than 13 years of extensive software development experience. My work
experience includes designing, managing and R&D of various products and projects. I am
working on building and improving the system to handle large amount of data efficiently and
intelligently to improve its quality and freshness. I’ve use Machine Learning techniques to
extract value out of large amount of data. I have also worked on products that involve large
amount of incoming data which is required to be processed and analyzed in real-time using
complex rules (Complex Event Processing). Multiple analytics also need to be performed on
large accumulated data in batch mode to find intelligent insights. I have used multiple Big-
Data technologies in multiple projects. I have also worked on other real-time systems and
server applications that involve streaming of multiple kinds of data and that are very sensitive
to delay. I have extensive hands-on experience in programming and software technologies.
The area of my research for my PhD was Distributed Artificial Intelligence and
Multiagent Systems. I worked on developing agent based framework and new coordination
mechanisms in which large number of agents in a complex network coordinated their actions
to optimize the functionality at the system level. I worked on the problem of complex wafer
fabrication process for my research and used multiagent based simulations for evaluation of
my coordination mechanism. My research was selected for World’s topmost AI conferences,
IJCAI and AAMAS (also nominated for best student paper), and published in other important
journals.

We have developed a service that provides mobile phone based location tracking
service. Through a website application, on Google maps, the user can define/draw routes
along which that they want to track the movement of a mobile phone. User can drag/modify
the route on Google map, add checkpoints/way points en-route. User can add time/distance
based conditions on the specified checkpoints. e.g. during the movement, time taken from
previous checkpoint to a given checkpoint not to exceed X minutes. Deviation from the

4. specified checkpoint/route not to exceed 200 meters. The tracking can also be set as
recurring, day-wise etc.
The system can be used to track movement of school buses, kids, fleet tracking by
using only regular smart phones.
The system has a mobile application that periodically sends a beacon with its GPS
coordinates. The system tracks the real-time location updates from mobile device and verifies
that the location and movement of the device constantly follows the rules and conditions
provided by the user. The system generates realtime alerts whenever the conditions are
violated by the movement of device. The alerts and send to other registered endpoints, like
SMS, Email etc.
The system uses STORM as framework for processing large number of simultaneous
streams of frequently incoming location events in a scalable manner. The system then applies
the rules on the streaming events for validation and generating alerts. The system also uses
RabbitMQ message-queues.
The system could be extended to be used for crowd sourcing the location information
to monitor predict and manage the traffic.

IP Protection – Providing protection support for the Designs
Platform & Technologies Cryptographic algorithms, RSA libraries, C/UNIX.
In the EDA/Chip Design industry, like the S/W industry, the trend is to buy available
components off the shelf rather that building the functionality from the scratch. In the Chip
Design industry these components are chip designs for specified functionality, and are
provided by various IP vendors. Various IP consumers purchase these IPs and integrate in
their designs, to build bigger designs.
Before manufacturing the actual (costly) h/w chip the chips design are simulated on a
virtual machine kind of s/w platform to ensure that chip/design performs as expected.
Cadence had NCSim(ulator) which does this job. NCSim has language (Verilog/VHDL)
compilers etc. that parse/compile the run the chip designs.
The requirement from the IP vendors is that their IPs should not be made directly
visible to the IP consumers, but it should still be possible to simulate their IPs with the IP

7. consumers’ designs seamlessly. So I wrote a tool that encrypted that is used by IP Vendors to
encrypt their design files before sending them to the IP consumers. I also wrote a decryption
library that was integrated in the NCSim, which internally decrypted and compiled the IP,
without making it visible to the IP consumer in plain-text. The encryption solution/format is
made generic to enable use of different kind of Algorithms, DES/RC5, Public/Private Key
Mechanisms etc. and Digital Envelope is used to speed up the performance.

IComX – A low bandwidth conferencing and collaboration platform (iComX) and solution
Platform & Technologies TCP/UDP/RTP, VoIP, MultiThreading,C/C++/VC++,
DCOM, Linux/Windows 2000/98, XML/SOAP
Worked as Team Leader for this low bandwidth collaboration and conferencing solution
for AARKAY Compusoft.
iComX is a solution for enabling audio, presentation, scratch pad and messaging based
desktop conferencing and collaboration at low bandwidth. Low bandwidth is achieved by high
content compression and adequate multimedia delivery. The multimedia streaming includes
real-time video of what actor draws on whiteboard or paper, VoIP audio data of what actors
speaks, and other data that he/she communicates.
iComX system is based on multi tier architecture. At the presentation layer of the
system are console applications (front-ends). At the middle-tier of the system are Media
Conference Server and Management services. iComX Conference server is central media
routing and processing unit.
The Conference Server is a real-time, robust, multithreaded server that receives
streaming media from the various active conference clients over the network and forwards the
data to the relevant clients. To achieve good response time of the streaming media (VoIP
data, video), the server is designed to be multithreaded. It provides the flexibility to receive
data to/from clients over TCP, UDP or RTP. The Audio Conference Server also does the real-
time audio mixing of the audio data of multiple clients.
The Conference Server provides very finer control in choosing the transmission
protocol to/from the clients, and to send only selective in streams to the desired out streams
after changing the transmission protocol. To make the Conference Server scalable and
manageable, it had a component based architecture, the management of which was exposed
via SOAP/ DCOM/CORBA. The Management service is to provide for the management of
collaboration and Conference Server. The Management Services are COM+ components and
are exposed to the front-end consoles thought SOAP.
At the front-end console applications there are modules for:
• Generating various media for transmission, capturing and compressing audio data using
various speech codecs, compressed video data.
• Transmitting and receiving media streams to and from iComX Conference server using
TCP-UDP/IP protocol.
• Decoding and rendering call medias like audio, video and data (messaging, PPT etc) that
are received from the Conference Server.
• Communicating and coordinating with management server using SOAP protocol

8. Platform & Technologies Linux/C/C++,XML/SOAP,COM/DCOM, Windows NT/9x
We designed and build Mobile Application Platform (zMAP) to provide a rich set of
tools, and servers to mobilize any enterprise application. The idea was to build a
comprehensive platform by integrating existing technologies and developing new technologies
for a wide variety of operating systems.
We designed and developed a working prototype of Mobile Application Platform. zMAP
is a powerful, secure, flexible, and scalable Mobile Data Delivery environment. Open
technologies like Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) are used to make zMAP a powerful and flexible platform for mobilizing existing
enterprise applications and/or writing wide range of new services and applications. We
adopted well-proven security standards and algorithm for data integrity and privacy, access
control and authentication. In zMap we handled wireless world peculiarities like frequent
connection-disconnection by using queue based messaging and the problem of expensive
and narrow network bandwidth by using data compression.
At the core of zMAP was the back-end application server, which was responsible for
securely communicating with the clients on the mobile devices using SOAP/HTTP or MSMQ.
To achieve efficiency the data was compressed before the transmission. To achieve security
over the public network, encryption of data was done using public/private key infrastructure.
An IDL and IDL compiler was also written which was used to generate stubs/skeletons
for the interfaces of the components that were to be exposed via zMAP.

as Software consultant
SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS
Network Virtuoso Product
Aplion's Network Virtuoso is a knowledge and information based services solution with
a unique hardware and software architecture that manages services as streams. By defining
communications services as streams instead of connections and bandwidth, services can be
provisioned and personalized through an easy to use graphical interface giving service
providers and their customers an unprecedented level of service control, service differentiation
and manageability. This results in dramatic advantages for service providers who offer Active
Services to their customers.
The above features are achieved by the key component, which is a edge device
(Soloist) sitting at customer's office providing connection to the ISP. It has two Ethernet
interfaces towards the customer's side and two T1 interface towards the ISP side.
This soloist provides the quality of service (QoS) as it has the capability of examining
the data flowing through it and to apply the various users based policies on it.
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Engine
Platform & Technologies C, VxWorks, Application/Network Protocols, Network Stack hooks

9. I worked on the SPI engine of the soloist. To provide powerful and effective bandwidth
management, it is mandatory to understand the data flowing through the box.
To achieve this objective, we have implemented a SPI engine in the IP-stack which
identifies the protocol going on the network by looking in the packets. It has an engine which
keeps the information of the various protocols in the form of postfix stack, which the engine
evaluates and finds out the packet belong to which protocol. The protocol is input to the
engine in the form of a language which consists of postfix stacks ( as rules ) and transitions.
On getting a packet the engine evaluates the stack to find if the rule matches, if it does then it
makes the associated transition to some state of some protocol, e.g. on receiving an TCP
packet transition to TCP-application state is made, then if the some packet
of that session matches some pattern of the HTTP, sat GET/POST etc. a transition to
HTTP state is made. By identifying the protocols by looking in the packets the SPI identifies
the application protocol on which the QoS (quality of service) and firewall policies can act. e.g
a policy could be to guarantee 10Kbps bandwidth to ftp file transfers, or to reject any chat data
( using firewall capability ). The size of the team is 2 persons and the language used is C.
SNMP Agent Implementation
Platform & Technologies C, VxWorks, SNMP Stack
The networking current networking world every device needs to be SNMP manageable
for configuration and Monitoring. The SNMP architecture has a device (running SNMP
agent ) and a SNMP manager running on some remote machine. The manager sends the
SNMP requests to the agent and the agent sends back the response to the manager. In
case of some alert the agent asynchronously sends alarm to the manager.
The vxWorks (the OS on the Soloist) has the master-subagent architecture of SNMP
agent. I was involved in writing the SNMP sub-agents for the services in the box. These
agents interfaced with the various services in the box at one end, and on the other end they
talked to the Master SNMP agent which sent and received the message from the SNMP
Manager. The size of the team was 4 persons and the language used is C.
Telnet and Serial Interface
Platform & Technologies C, VxWorks, TCP/IP
Besides the SNMP interface for the management of the box, I was wrote a telnet
server. This telnet server provided the service or remote login and management. To support
the configuration and monitoring of various services/devices in the box, I wrote a shell for the
telnet interface which provided the various commands to the remote user. I also extended this
shell to be used through the serial interface.
Full Solution Network
Platform & Technologies HTTP,TCP/IP, Solaris, Windows
This was a (Video On Demand) project for the client Fujitsu (Japan) .
The project is meant to provide service of video on demand. The transfer mode for which is
ATM, and besides the Video (MPEG) stream which comes from the video server all of the

10. interaction of client to servers id through HTTP protocol, I've developed the HTTP servers
required to interact with the client.
The Programming Language is MSVC++ (4.0) on windows NT platform and C on
Solaris. Both the servers are multithreaded, and for optimization caching of the pages is used.
Multiple read and single write locks are implemented using Critical Section in the Windows NT
server and the cache is flushed using LRU method. In the Solaris Server the locks supported
with threads are used to provide the same effect. The servers have GUI for configuration.
Networking Monitoring Agent
Platform & Technologies TCP/IP, Windows
Whenever the movie is being played, the STB (the client which receives and
displays the video and interacts with the user) needs to periodically send the heartbeat
information to a server ( NMS Server) , which keeps track of the various active movie session
at a given point of time. This information is kept to insure that whenever a STB goes down
abnormally, a message can be indirectly passed to the Video Server to stop the un-necessary
transmission of movie stream to that particular STB.
To implement this the server maintains a list of active STB's .The STB sends a
registration message to the NMS server whenever it opens a new movie session, and it sends
a de-registration message to when the movie is over and in between these two messages it
sends a heartbeat message at regular intervals.
The NMS server has a different thread for each active STB, It receives the
heartbeat messages, if a deregistration message comes it exits, and whenever a STB
times out it connects an utility on different machine which in turn sends a message to close
the session with that STB.
The Programming Language is C on Windows NT platform.
