WORK EXPERIENCE:
Organization: Ericsson India Global Services Pvt. Ltd, Chennai. Duration: Jul 2011 – Dec 2014
Designation: Senior Network Engineer
Responsibilities: Performance Monitoring and Optimization of WCDMA & GSM Networks, Process Automation, Tool Development.
Tools Developed:
 Designed a process automation tool which produces appropriate actions to be taken using Network performance and
configuration data for GSM and WCDMA Networks (Vendor Ericsson).
 Created an application for Primary Scrambling Code (PSC) planning in WCDMA networks which helps to improve PSC reuse
distances.
 Developed a Neighbor optimization tool (NOT) that produces neighbor additions and deletion recommendations based on
Network Neighbor cells stats.
COURSEWORK PROJECTS:
User level thread library implementation: (Languages- C, C++)
 Implemented a user-level non-preemptive thread library with the same primitives as POSIX standard library.
Micro shell implementation: (Languages- C, C++)
 Developed the micro shell, a command interpreter with syntax similar to Unix C shell using system calls fork(), pipe() and dup2()
LAN/VLAN Management: (Tools: Cisco IOS CLI)
 Carried various experiments on Cisco switches to understand Local Area Network design and Management tasks that includes
L2 switching, multilayer switching, VLAN design and management, Loop detection and avoidance in LAN using STP variants, Link
aggregation, LAN management using SNMP.
Digital Video Transmission for Drone FPV Applications: (Languages: python)
 Developed a sender and receiver system to capture and transmit live video stream digitally over wireless LAN.
 Preferred digital transmission over analog to have much more control on transmission parameters which were adjusted to
achieve better quality and less delay.
A simple peer-to-peer (P2P) system with a centralized index (CI): (Languages: Python, Socket programming)
 Designed and tested a peer to peer file transfer system with a centralized Index using sockets.
Go-back-N automatic repeat request (ARQ): (Languages: Python, Socket programming)
 Created a Server-Client based file transfer system using the UDP protocol with GO-BACK-N functionality.
 Implemented reliability in the system at the application layer since the UDP protocol used was unreliable.
Android App for VoIP Handover: (Languages: JAVA, Android development)
 Developed an android application that supports VoIP handover between two different access technologies using ‘Session
Initiation protocol (SIP)’, an application layer protocol for signaling and multimedia communication sessions.
Database Application Project- University Student Housing: (Languages: JAVA, MySQL)
 Designed a web application using MySQL Database to hold information about student housing information, to process housing
requests, create & maintain lease records, allot parking spots (if requested) and generate monthly invoices.
Automatic Guided Vehicle:
 Developed a fully automated factory delivery system to read a traffic sign by using an Edge detection algorithm implemented
on Altera DE2 board and send its location using RFID and Zigbee protocols.
