• Automatic Fare Collection (A.F.C.) Gate Software Development for Delhi Metro, Spearheaded the development of firmware for A.F.C. Gate, managing 4.7 million daily footfalls, oversought the comprehensive firmware development for the gate control unit's NXP microcontroller, and established robust serial communication between firmware and the application layer.
• Ticket Vending Machine Camera Module for Chennai Metro, Designed and developed a web application in Python for live video streaming from a ticket vending machine's camera module, incorporating Picamera2 and OpenCV for video capture and processing, with automated video file saving every 24 hours.
• Mini UPS Firmware and Application Development, Developed firmware for a mini UPS control board's microcontroller to enable shutdown on command and status reporting via serial port, while also created protocols for seamless application layer integration.
• Dynamic QR Payment System for Card Dispenser Machine, Developed a QR-based test payment system for Card Dispenser machine using Java and REST APIs from Airtel Payments Bank. Integrated QR code functionalities into the graphical user interface using socket communication.
• Automatic Fare Collection (A.F.C.) Gate Software Development for Chennai Metro, Configured hardware peripherals of the gate control board's STM32 microcontroller, integrated it with the application layer, developed a C++ wrapper class to interface with the firmware, and finally worked on the algorithm for sensor-based passage control logic of the A.F.C. gate.
