Work History
Senior Software Engineer
Aptiv
08.2021 - Current
- Senior Software Engineer on the Advanced Safety project at APTIC TCI. The team mainly focuses on developing software features for enhancing safety in autonomous driving.
- Involved in developing Sensor Simulation software for Short Range Radars (SRR) in automotive systems. The software mimics Vehicle Architecture for Multi-ECU Systems by resimulating vehicle logs in various formats (ORCAS, VIEGEM, AUTERA, etc.). The tool supports cross-compiler functionality for both Windows and Linux.
- Designed and integrated a vehicle log decoder, capable of decoding data encoded in vehicle data transmission protocols like SOME/IP and DLT. The tool is designed to be used as a decoder in RESIM and also has an option to validate logs.
- Contributed to the development of various tools, including: Log Converter Tool: capable of converting vehicle logs to multiple formats (VIGEM, CANoe, ORCAS, Autera, PCAP, CANAPE, etc.). Log Extraction Tool: able to extract vehicle logs in MUDP format.
- Involved in developing: A Docker solution for delivering binaries to customers. An automated solution for memory leak analysis using Valgrind,Docker, and Jenkins
- Had the opportunity to mentor interns, guiding them to become productive contributors to projects in a short period of time.
- Got an incredible opportunity to engage in discussions with industry experts and Software Architects on topics like ADAS Sensor Algorithms, Sensor Modeling, and DSPACE.
- Had the opportunity to contribute to projects for major OEMs like BMW, STLA, HONDA, and TATA.
Senior Software Engineer
Quest Global
09.2017 - 08.2021
- Began my career at Quest Global as a Software Engineer, later promoted to Senior Software Engineer in the medical domain, where I maintained and enhanced middleware applications for MRI scanners, developed on the Windows platform using C++ and various Windows programming constructs.
- Designed and integrated Blu-Ray support for MRI Scanner, overcoming significant performance challenges due to the large data capacity of Blu-Ray technology. Successfully optimized the tool to meet performance requirements by identifying and addressing code bottlenecks, resulting in efficient data handling and processing
- Contributed to the "Audit Logging" project, which enabled organizations to maintain compliance with HIPAA's minimum necessary rule by tracking all operations on user accounts, including creation, alteration, and deletion
- Enhanced software performance by implementing a garbage collector, which efficiently manages memory by automatically releasing unused resources, optimizing memory utilization, and reducing memory leaks.
- Early in my career at QuEST, I focused on enhancing code quality by identifying and addressing potential crash scenarios, memory leaks, and unused code using tools like Klockwork, and resolving numerous bug fixes, crashes, and performance improvements, which required in-depth knowledge of C++ concepts, including OOPS. data structures, STL library, multithreading, and Windows C++ programming constructs
