• During my tenure as Senior Engineer, I was responsible for the following roles:
• 1) Independently working on the development of multiple products like HEVC encoder, HEVC decoder, VLC plugin for HEVC including customer releases and front ending the customer interactions.
• 2) Led a team for a project on Video Quality Analyzer which can help video engineers, broadcast professionals, professionals in television industries to analyse the quality of any given video with a reference video/original video. This project was implemented with various complex signal processing and video algorithms running in the background to analyse the video and hence revolutionized the video quality analysis in broadcast industries.

• The complaints from TV viewers regarding the varying level of loudness are not something
• unheard in the TV broadcasting industry. The variation in loudness level between TV
• programmes and commercials is annoying for the viewers and they often have to resort to
• regularly reducing the volume level using the remote controller. Therefore, this project was aimed at developing an adaptive loudness control system to create a pleasurable TV viewing environment. The objectives of this project included implementing multi-core loudness measurement algorithm developed by International Telecommunication Union Radio-communication division (ITU-R) called BS.1770-1 and implement a loudness control algorithm.

• At IISc, I got an opportunity to work on a project aimed at development of robust, real time Continuous Speech Recognition System to accurately predict the speech uttered by the users.
• Speech is a natural and most intuitive mode of communication for all of us. We all have learnt relevant skills during our childhood and we keep using speech as a mode of communication everyday without realizing the complexity of speech. The human vocal tract and articulation system are biological organs with non linear properties, whose operations are affected by factors ranging from gender to upbringing to emotional state. Hence, speech can vary widely depending on the accent, pronunciation, articulation, roughness, nasality, pitch, volume, and speed; Moreover, there is a very high chance of our irregular speech patterns getting distorted by background noise, echoes, and other kind of channel noise. All these factors make speech recognition, a very complex problem.
• Arguably, we, human beings have got one of the best speech recognition systems and sometimes we wonder what makes people so good at recognizing speech? Intriguingly, the human brain is known to be wired differently than a conventional computer; in fact it operates under a radically different computational paradigm. In this research on Speech Recognition System, we have successfully worked towards developing a real time, robust speech recognition system with a good level of accuracy which finds plethora of application in robotics, smartphones, computers etc.
