• I have worked on GSM / GPRS / UMTS/LTE protocol development for NAS layer. Additionally I had few assignments done in ERRC and Protocol stack - Firmware interface. I am contributing LTE - legacy protocol interface design, LTE NAS protocol development, host test environment setup and test execution, leading cross functional activity for PS features for Intel modems. Here I have contributed for various feature addition for 3GPP releases, customer features and operator features. I have also contributed to UE performance improvement for CSFB, manual PLMN search, fast PLMN search, OOS and LS recovery, fast user command processing, various operator scenario improvement for H3G/ATT/T-Mobile/NTT DoCoMo/KT/SKT/Vivo/Airtel etc. These improvements were well acknowledged by customers and operators and set a new standard for user experience. Apart from this I was involved writing test cases for host test, as well as target test for various issues and features and was considered as first point of contact to analyse system level issues arised in different IOTs performed in different parts of the world.
• At the same time it was my responsibility to co-ordinate between project management, customer support engineers and test engineers and set priority of tasks and to distribute among the team. This ensures timely delivery of solution from my team to various products which we work for and received great appreciation from customer.
