About

Executive summary: I can design and develop your software solution, guide a team of experienced designers/developers, and mentor people. I am a designer at heart. I love developing human experiences that delight people. Helping others is what makes me tick. For me, software is just a means to an end. I am good at understanding technology. I love learning new technologies because that enables me to develop the best solution across a wide range of domains. I love to make the complicated simple for everyone. I believe that a real leader goes beyond being a "team lead" or a "fellow employee". A real leader understands and cares for his team on a personal level, knows their strengths and weaknesses and strives to empower them to become the best version of themselves. ❀️ If you would like to connect, please say a hi in the DM here or at twitter πŸ‘‹

  • Was responsible for implementing core modules for the vehicle dashboard.
  • πŸš€ Integration of turn by turn navigation using MapMyIndia SDK
  • πŸš€ Implementation for the speedometer and tachometer animation as per the strict requirements of the UI/UX team
  • πŸš€ Implementation of CAN message decoding
  • Implemented a Kotlin module to decode raw CAN messages to their corresponding signals based on the DBC file. Tested the same on Linux using canutils to simulate a virtual CAN bus, replaying existing log files from the actual vehicle. Implemented testing for the same module by using a reference python implementation which could read from the CAN bus and decode based on the DBC file.
  • πŸš€ CAN Bus to USB using Arduino and CAN Shield
  • Proactively initiated and implemented CAN Bus to USB adapter. Implemented CAN reading from the Arduino and writing to USB Serial. On Android side implemented software connection to the Arduino USB and reading the data.
  • This was taken up due to delays from the hardware vendor side to supply working units. Enabled the team to move faster and be able to integrate the dashboard with UI into the vehicle.
  • πŸš€ Python module to convert Google Sheet to CAN dbc format
  • Designed and developed a python module which consumed a Google Sheet (having a custom
  • layout) and converted it to CAN dbc format using the python canmatrix library. Implemented
  • CI/CD on Gitlab. This saves time and manual effort to create the dbc file by hand. Future
  • enhancement would be to integrate with Google Sheet App Script to implement a menu to
  • trigger builds without leaving the Google Sheet.
  • πŸš€ Matter Website with CMS integration
  • Developed the website in HTML5 using Hugo static site generator, implemented CI/CD, CDN and CMS integration with Netlify.
