About

I’ve always had a natural curiosity for technology . As a child, I loved taking things apart and putting them back together. At the age of 16, I was building robots and wireless systems as a hobby projects, that made me to develop more interest on both hardware and the software. My passion for technology continued to develop and I soon obtained a Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M). Today, I’m still doing what I love. For me both hardware and software are integral part of a system. I love to increase broader knowledge on the system. I like crossing the boundaries and explore outside my comfort zone. In the current company, I have developed a complete product from ideation to marketing of our Sensor Nodes and Edge Computing Devices, that interacted with Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This included hiring, team building, hardware designing, Software Development, Firmware development and testing. We developed a new class of Edge Compute devices and sensors which is powerful and also battery efficient device. Professionally, I have nearly 12 yrs of experience in the field of Software Development. - I have learnt the various Problem Solving Techniques in Software Engineering. What makes me a unique Software Engineer is my expertise in hardware/platforms. - Expert in software architecture designing using Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and modern software engineering design patterns. - Always exploring and never hesitate to go beyond the boundaries to 'get the things done I love to connect with people from all walks of life, so please don’t hesitate to send me a message. Specialties: Software engineering, Firmware Development, embedded Linux, cloud management, Cellular protocols (5G/NR), BLE and WiFi firmware.
