• Worked as a Software Developer for Windows Video Driver Development Team.
• Have worked extensively on Feature Feasibility verification for User Mode Driver(UMD) DirectX12 and Kernel Mode Driver(KMD) Video Decode path on existing product line code- base which included modification and updation of the legacy code to enable features to work seamlessly on Microsoft Devices powered by Qualcomm chipset.
• Have been an active contributor in Chipset Bring-Ups(BU) and Preparedness for DirectX12 User Mode Driver Video Decode Path. Bring-ups are essentially hard deadlined, fast paced and sensitive thereby needing effective collaboration with multiple interdependent teams for successful execution of features. Hence learning curve during the Chipset Bring-Ups are very high.
• Actively participated and contributed in regular code reviews, effective resolution of unanticipated and spurious Driver Bugs during code integrations from interdependent teams.
• Independent handling with little/no mentor support in closure of stability issue CRs and Bug CRs relating to Video Driver Decode Path. Effectively communicating with allied teams to get logs for different components to understand the issue better and to rule out possibilities.
• Adding Features and coding Test Scripts for internally designed testability App that mimics the end to end flow of original User Mode Applications to Kernel Mode Driver thereby helping reproduce flow issues and helping root cause bugs.
• Have set up automated Device Farms and maintained them to enable the team to access the different chipsets for day to day work. Multiple users are able to access a particular device in a timed manner with this set-up. This provided the flexibility to work from anywhere as well as to track the effective utilization of devices.
• Provide Knowledge Transfer sessions of new learnings from issues and bug fixes. Closely Mentor Interns and newbie FTEs during their Ramp up.
