Experience:

• Video enhancer is near real time video enhancement technology which utilizes sophisticated algorithms to enhance videos captured under challenging conditions (Haze, Fog, Mist).
• VHF Marine Radio is remotely operable communication equipment operating in International Maritime Mobile band frequency range in FM Narrow band modulation.
• Tethered UAV is multicopter based drone which uses permanent physical link, in form of flexible wire or cable, to provide power and communications to UAV

My Role:

• Implementation of Image enhancement algorithms like CLAHE and Dark channel Prior in VHDL and C language.
• Development and optimization of C code for Video Enhancement, Video Stabilization, Video Tracking and Panoramic View in Visual Studio 2019 for COTS based Video Enhancer.
• Implementation of communication protocol between Video Enhancer and Camera.
• Developed VHF Marine Radio display GUI using QT for Linux.
• Socket programming in C, C++.
• Developed Backend Software for Radio operation in QT.
• Implementation of Digital Selective Calling Feature based on ITU-R M.493-15 standards for VHF Marine Radio.
• Implementation of communication protocols between radio and subsystems.
• Implementation of various serial protocols like SPI, UART, I2C and I2S in PIC microcontroller.
• Implementation of interface layer software for enabling remote operation of VHF radio.
• Perform System level testing to evaluate performance of Radio to validate its key capabilities – Range, Sensitivity, Selectivity, SNR etc.
• Implementation of Built In Test Equipment (BITE) for VHF radio.
• Schematics design, Verification of Board Layout, Board debugging.
• Design and development of custom audio accessories like Headset with dual PTT and Foot Dual PTT to be used with Voice Operated Terminal (VOT) for Radio.
• Installation, Testing and Integration of Radio and Subsystems.
• Project Documentation and Customer Support.

• Conducted research to test and analyze feasibility, design, operation and performance of equipment, components and systems.
• Participated in formal internal design reviews of proposed products and components, providing input on potential technical improvements.
• Prepared cost estimates, schedules and project specifications for proposals.
• Oversaw layout, routing and integration of technical and electrical components.
• Reviewed and checked technical drawings by architectural technicians, CAD technicians and drafters.
• Read and interpreted blueprints, technical drawings, schematics and computer-generated reports.
• Diagnosed issues with PCBs and quickly repaired flaws to maintain functionality.
• Worked with team of Mechanical and Software engineers for timely and accurate completion of ROP projects.
