Work History

Senior Software Engineer

Wipro
Bangalore
04.2023 - Current
  • Developed and implemented software for ATSC 3.0 devices including televisions, set-top boxes, and mobile devices.
  • Integrated ATSC 3.0 middleware for embedded infotainment systems, supporting live TV playback on front and rear-seat displays, with seamless switching between ATSC 3.0 and ISDB broadcast streams in automotive environments.
  • Implemented thread-safe buffering mechanisms in the middleware using pthread, mutexes, and semaphores to synchronize packet parsing (MMTP/ALC), signaling table updates, and media delivery across multiple processing threads.
  • Optimized memory allocation and deallocation paths to prevent fragmentation and leaks in long-running sessions; applied mmap, calloc, and aligned_alloc strategies for packet pool management and circular buffer reuse.
  • Designed and maintained event-driven service acquisition flows, leveraging asynchronous message queues, condition variables, and event semaphores to decouple service discovery, tuning, and decoder pipeline activation.
  • Dockerized the ATSC 3.0 stack for deployment in automotive development environments, enabling containerized integration with infotainment systems, tuner services, and middleware layers for streamlined testing and modular deployment.
  • Verified that devices received and decoded ATSC 3.0 signals correctly through rigorous testing.
  • Designed and implemented interactive features such as targeted advertising and personalized content.
