Jan 2017 – Jun 2018 · 1 yr 5 mos · Hyderabad Area, India

• Jan 2017 - May 2017
• I'm working on designing and implementing various key transfer mechanisms in Liquid Security Adapter,(an HSM offering from Cavium), which would have tighter controls over security. Various multi node features like load balancing and high availability is built on top of these features.
• June 2017 - Present
• I'm working with the team responsible for adding support for OCTEON TX family of processors in DPDK. Contributed to rte_security library for adding support for inline protocol offload mode.

Jan 2015 – Dec 2016 · 1 yr 11 mos · Hyderabad Area, India

• From Jan 2015 - Mar 2016, I worked with the team focused on bringing up vxWorks 6.9 on boards, Octeon EBB7800 and Octeon SFF7100. In addition to the basic OS bring up, responsibilities included,
• Adding support for DIAB tool chain(WindRiver tools) to the Octeon's support library
• Adding Octeon DRAM initialisation code to vxWorks 6.9 bootup
• Enabling IO blocks - USB 3.0, MMC
• Adding context switch for various h/w acceleration units on Octeon 7xxx family.
• From Mar 2016 - June 2016, I worked with the team responsible for supporting Cavium's Liquid Security Adaptor(FIPS certified HSM adapter) . My responsibility was to implement the mechanism to recover the firmware(on the PCI card), and bring it back into operational state, if it crashes.
• June 2016 - October 2016, I worked with the team supporting Liquid Security Appliance (an HSM offering from Cavium). The effort is primarily focused on feature enhancements and bug fixes in various parts of the project.
• Completely redesigned the appliance configuration interface, which was implemented in python.
• Worked with the engineering and QA teams associated with Cavium's Liquid Security Appliance (an HSM offering from Cavium), reviewing the test plan and the appliance usage guidelines.
• November 2016 - December 2016, I worked on redesigning and implementing the secure key transfer mechanism. The aim was to make the secure key transfer mechanisms more scalable and robust.

Jul 2013 – Dec 2014 · 1 yr 5 mos · Hyderabad Area, India

• Working with Cavium's India Development Centre at Hyderabad,I was part of the group responsible for supporting Cavium's chip offerings in MIPS architecture, the Octeon family. Since the chip is embedded in some of the other board products from Cavium, the responsibilities sometimes gets extended, in supporting other products.
• My responsibilities included
• Supporting various versions of vxWorks on different evaluation boards supplementing Octeon.
• Adding support for various IO units, on the board, in vxWorks(USB 3.0, eMMC, NAND, Ethernet interfaces etc)
• From July 2013 - Jan 2015, I worked with the team focused on bringing up vxWorks 5.52 on boards, Octeon EVB7000SFF and Octeon EBB7800. Along side the basic bring up of the OS, some IO blocks were also handled in the same period. NAND (on Octeon EVB7000SFF), MMC (on both boards) and USB 3.0 (on Octeon EVB7000SFF). vxWorks 5.52 doesn't have support for USB 3.0 stack. So the stack from FreeBSD was made to work with vxWorks 5.52 on Octeon.
