Objective
Seeking a fulltime position for utilizing my skills and qualifications, enabling continuous learning and
development of organizational goals.
Education
Masters of Science, Computer Engineering Aug ’09 to present
Texas A&M University, College Station, GPA: 3.6/4.00 (Graduating in Dec 2011)
Bachelor of Science (Honors), Electrical Engineering Aug ’05 to May ’09
National Institute of Technology-Rourkela, India, GPA: 9.20/10.0
Work Experience
Apple, Cupertino May ’11 to Aug’11
Summer Intern, Design Verification
As a summer intern at Apple, I was mainly involved in verifying SoC design at block level. I implemented
directed tests in C and SystemVerilog for porting various I/O interface models such as I2C, UART, USB
and SDIO. I was also responsible for implementing perl and shell scripts to maintain the entire regression
management system that supported all kinds of sanity, directed and random tests for all the projects.
Advanced Micro Devices, Austin Jun ’10 to Dec ’10
Coop Engineer, Product Development Engineering
As a coop engineer at AMD, I was exposed to post-silicon validation of AMD microprocessors on the ATE
platform. I was responsible for developing and debugging tests at the micro-processor level on tester
platform and performing a lot of deep characterization and speed analysis on processors prior to product
release.
Research Experience
Texas A&M University Jan ’11 to present
Graduate Assistant Research, Department of Ecosystem Science & Management
As a graduate assistant, I was involved in the development of a component of a new online portal
(IsoMAP;http://isomap.org) that provides researchers with tools to produce, utilize, and evaluate leaf
water and other plant isoscapes. I was primarily responsible for writing the C++ code for the back-end
data and computational functions. Other duties included collaboration with the other team members to
gather requirements about the design of the portal, available data, computational models and functions.
Texas A&M University Sep ’09 to May ’10
Graduate Assistant Research, Department of Architecture
As a graduate assistant, I supported my supervisor in his research on the use of psychophysiological
measures to track emotional processes during rapid decision making. I was mainly involved in design and
implementation of experiments for scientific user studies using E-prime software. Other responsibilities

2. included creating experimental plans, debugging issues with signal receptions and hardware, interaction
with subjects, conducting user studies, and writing research reports.
National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India July ’08 to May ’09
Research Assistant, VLSI and Embedded Systems Lab
As an undergraduate research assistant, I worked on development of liquid level digital control system
using microcontroller AT89C51, interfaced with A/D (0804), D/A (0808) and power OpAmp LM675.
