Primary duties include supporting and trouble shooting data warehouse feed process or ETL

Leading a performance task force to improve extract process, network settings for transfer and best practices for loads in various database platforms as well as reporting through Crystal

Developed timing analysis tool for performance monitoring, task controller, and XML parser for ETL configurations

Developed a secure mailing list and account management in PHP for University Graduate Students Association (UGSA) on a Linux Server

Involved in research in high performance computer architecture at technologies of 0.1 µm and below. Studied and implemented a variable depth pipeline for variable MHz processors for energy savings up to 44% much higher compared to Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS). Published a paper on the same

The project was simulated in C++, and was built upon the pipeline software written by Burger et al.

Simulated Digital Communication system in MATLAB, designed and implemented the ˝ and 1/3 Convolutional CODEC using VHDL, implementing unique word detection synchronization

Enhanced performance using Turbo En (De) coding and implementing the same in VHDL

Designed GUI Admissions software for Alpha Science Academy where I worked as Lecturer

Wrote software for P2P communication between computers and provided specifications, tutorial and the source code to faculty and students. Also build various research equipments for departmental projects

Involved in team for development of the Undergraduate department under project "Impact". Projects involved setting up network, maintenance of research equipments and network security

Tutoring in Calculus, Solid Geometry, Statistics and Physics

Involved in Walk-In Tutoring center to solve the problems of the students on the spot

Lectured/Tutored in Advanced Math and Physics for 4 years. Trained nearly 30 tutors, conducted weekly exams and grading

Object oriented programming in C/C++ of the entire 7 stage Alpha processor simulator. The classes were written for various modules, and a complexity effective superscalar processor was simulated. With FIFO based issue logic feature. Global simulation options were provided to turn on/off any feature

Worked on demosaicing a sub sampled Bayesian pattern image from a digital camera. Reconstructed the image with less error than average color method. Extended the case from one dimension implementation to 2-D implementation. The image processing algorithm was simulated in MATLAB using ‘Lenna’ image

Implemented the algorithm for fast hop lookups in routers. High level simulation was done in C and implemented through Verilog Coding

RS-232 Communications - Interfacing two computers in the Lab and sending packets on a twisted wire. The protocol was IEEE compliant and written in C. Successful implementation of FTP was done through the project. Was part of the development of Data Communications Lab. (Jan`01 - May `01)

Computer interfaced multi-meter through Serial Port with Graphic view. GUI was designed
using C Graphics library. (Home Project)

Designed a program to develop icons and mouse cursors using C graphics library and mouse
interfacing. The mouse support library was developed for modular programming

Implemented error correcting coding techniques as well as compression techniques (Huffman, RS, convolutional, Block Turbo, JPEG) in C and MATLAB

Designed a GUI based online shopping for hardware component selling company in Visual Basic. Included various access levels. Had invoice, price and inventory control too. The system was built on the original foundation and hierarchy of the company and was with a view of computerizing the business. A similar application was built using Unix Shell scripting

Designed a GUI based Student Admission program for Alpha Science Academy (where I worked as lecturer). The program maintained a clear database for status of each students as well as a simple interface for management of database

Horizontal Oscillator and EHT section of TV (Jan`00 - May `00)

Simulation of Pseudo-empirical method to solve Schrödinger’s equation was done to plot various semiconductor band gap diagrams

Participant and member of IEEE; member of Graduate Indian Students' Association; active participant in Undergraduate Student Government, participant in NC State International Office (OISSS) activities

Extra curricular activities also include tennis, cricket, and soccer, playing guitar, flute, and harmonica, reading novels and computer graphics
