EXPERIENCEPEBBLE TECHNOLOGY | EMBEDDED DEVELOPER INTERNMay 2015 – Aug 2015 | Palo Alto, CA

• Development of the core OSwhich runs on the Pebble Time smartwatch.• Worked on various components of the watch including Bluetooth subsystem

and the UX elements.• Implemented and tested features and took part in the entire product

development lifecycle.

CISCO INDIA | SOFTWARE ENGINEERAug 2013 – July 2014 | Bangalore, India

• Coded drivers and protocol backend of ISR4400 and ISR3900 enterprise levelrouters.

• Worked on the development of IoT specific platforms.

PROJECTSWIRELESS SENSOR ASSISTED SEARCH AND RESCUE ROBOT | 2012 - 2013Winner of Texas Instruments India Analog Design Challenge (TII ADC) 2012Consisted of a Zigbee wireless sensor net and aWifi connected robot controlled by aBeaglebone. Sensor net used directional PIR sensors for triangulation of survivorsusingMatlab program for mapping.Published in IEEExplore (DOI: 10.1109/TIIEC.2013.10)

ANDROID CYCLOCOMPUTER AND HRM | 2011 - 2012Designed and built for TII ADC 2011A cyclocomputer based around anMSP430which sent speed, distance and heart ratedata over a bluetooth serial port to an Android phone.

QUADRUPED ROBOT | ONGOINGInstructables IoT Invitational Contest sponsored by IntelOne of 300 participants invited to take part in the contest. The robot will use an IntelEdison as themain controller and will be a hybrid wheeled/legged robot.

LOW POWER OFF-LINE LED DRIVER WITH LONG LIFE TIME | 2012 - 2013IEEE International Future Energy Challenge 2013 | Hangzhou, ChinaWas the only Indian team in the finals of the IFEC 2013. Designed and builthigh-frequency switching driver which used an Isolated Zeta topology to reduce thenumber of electrolytic capacitors, thereby increasing it’s lifetime.
