1. Details of Projects at PDi Communication Systems, Inc. (June 2012 – Current)

PDi Communication Systems, Inc is a privately held company that manufactures Healthcare grade

televisions and television related products for use by patients at their bedside in Hospitals and at

other health care and long term care facilities. Among other products, PDi offers an interactive

patient system including the PDi-TAB™ - a personal patient entertainment device that is PDi’s

first interactive Android-based healthcare-grade television.

I initiated the Interactive Patient System product suite and have been leading the development of

the various components of the product - contributing both as an engineer and business developer.

Accomplishments:

  · Defined customer needs (teamed up with Sales and Marketing), market potential, competitive

analysis and marketing strategy to generate a business model and operational plan to develop

a patient interactive system capturing schedules, resources, finances, risks etc.

  · Generated concise customer specifications/technical specifications to develop a basic product

definition and the features roadmap.

  · Led a development team of both software and hardware engineers in the development of

Interactive television software for the PDi-Tab (Android based Tablet and TV) including

system software like boot loader, kernel, Android Framework and user space Applications.

The PDi-Tab is now deployed at many of the leading hospitals in the US.

o Technologies: Android Open Source Project related technologies.

  · Leading the development of PDi Store – PDi Store is a cloud-based platform that enables the

distributors of PDi products and the value added application and content providers to offer an

integrated solution to healthcare facilities. The PDi store combines device manager functions

and application manager functions into one integrated offering.

o Technologies: Apache Equinox/wso2 Carbon/OSGi, Java, JavaScript etc.

2. Details of Projects at Minds-Eye-View (Sept 2009 – March 2012)

Minds-Eye-View (acquired IPIX and doing business as IPIX) provides 360-degree video and

photography products and solutions for its 360-degree technology for leading edge media

applications within consumer markets, such as webcast, telepresence, and event documentation.

My job on the projects usually started from eliciting and classifying/prioritizing requirements,

ensure consistency, define and manage scope, identify and mitigate risks; and design, develop,

implement and deliver software solutions in a time bound manner

Accomplishments:

  · Integrating any Fisheye Camera with the Milestone Open Platform

I developed a viewer (a win form based application communicating over the internet with an

Image Server), written using the Milestone Integration Platform Software Development Kit;

that integrated in Milestone’s "XProtect Smart Client" as a plug-in. The plug-in retrieves

images from the Milestone Media server (SOAP request/response over TCP stream sockets)

and displays the dewarped view based on the user chosen pan-tilt-zoom values.

Technologies: C#.NET, Visual studio 2010.

  · Immersive Viewer for Android

I developed the initial version of the IPIX Android Viewer to display "perspectively

corrected" interactive immersive images (live, recorded, server side dewarped etc.).

Technologies: Java using Android SDK, Eclipse

2

  · Interactive Studio

Interactive Studio is a professional-level image processing software letting users create highresolution,

full-spherical immersive images. I worked on the modification/Advancements of

the Interactive Studio including correction due to different brand of lenses, Batch Processing,

multi-platform common code base, Auto Update of components etc.

Technologies: C++/C using Visual Studio, wxWidgets.

  · IPIXLive SR (Streaming and Recording)

I developed the IPIXLiveSR application that creates video files (consisting of images from an

IPIX camera and audio from the audio input device on the host machine). The video can be

saved onto the local disk or could be streamed in real time to a streaming server (e.g. The

Darwin Streaming Server). Such a video file or stream can be played in an IPIX Media Player

for an immersive experience that can theoretically allow an infinite number of viewers to

"move" their own camera and viewing space in a live televised event.

Technologies: C++ (on Windows XP) using wxWidgets, ffmpeg, rtplib etc.

  · IPIX Store – MEV’s e-commerce solution

I maintained and enhanced IPIX store functions - IPIX store currently supports the core of

MEV's business - it supports both the front end and back end purchase of software and

hardware products, product creation and publication to the store, licensing, and keeping a

record of customer purchase history.

Technologies: MS IIS Web Server, ColdFusion Application Server, MS SQL Server

2008, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java Applets, ActiveX Objects

3. Details of Projects at Motorola (Sept 2003 – Dec 2008)

3.1. MSS-C

The Motorola Soft Switch-CDMA (MSS-C) was an IP-based soft switch platform that supported

basic Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) requirements while providing a migration path to 3G and

All-IP networks. As part of the then next-generation architecture the MSS-C used a disaggregated

architecture that decoupled call control functions from the media control (bearer) traffic functions

to provide a scalable and highly available switch solution.

Accomplishments:

  · I managed the Element Management Subsystem (EMS) aka OAMP (Operations,

Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning for MSS-C) functional Area that provided

switch management function from redundant servers co-located with the MSS-C Control

Switch (es). The EMS provided many of the Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance,

and Security (FCAPS) element management layer functions defined by the ITU for the

Control Switch and limited management/monitoring for the Media Gateway.

o Technologies: C/C++ on Red Hat Linux, xml-xsl-Xalantransform based boilerplate code

generation, PostgreSQL RDBMS, Red Hat Cluster Manager (2-Node)

  · I customised and extended the statistics and provisioning framework of the EMS. The

statistics (or the Business Activity Monitor) module collected, analysed/processed, stored and

displayed statistical data being generated by the call processing switches. The statistical data

was analysed/ displayed (Event Processing) in live mode and was available to be queried

offline for report Generation.

o Technologies: C/C++ on Red Hat Linux, Perl, shell, PostgreSQL RDBMS.

4. Details of Projects at SCS (Siemens Communication Software now part of Nokia Siemens

Networks) July 1999 – Sept 2003

4.1. HLRI

The HLRi (Home Location Register Innovation) is part of a mobile core network and is used to

store subscriber data (up to 2 million records) and provide the subscriber data on request to other

network entities, e.g. the VLR and the SGSN via MAP interface.

3

I worked on the following projects:

  · Analysed and designed the Replication Data Service (Geographical Redundancy for HLRi2.0)

- A solution to have a standby HLR, geographically separated from the active HLR, to take

over the functionality when the active HLR is not reachable.

o Technologies: OOAD using Rational Rose.

  · Lead Responsibility of the feature/component SCI (Subscriber Controlled Input) – One of the

Call Processing Components that processes the supplementary services (e.g. call forwarding,

barring, waiting etc.) subscriber requests (like Registration, Erasure, Activation, Deactivation

and Interrogation).

o Technologies: C++ on SUN Solaris 2.6, Rational PureCov, Oracle RDBMS.

4.2. Opuswave Networks based out of Colorado Springs, a Siemens owned subsidiary, for

Corporate GSM solution

Corporate GSM or Bullet Office, as it was referred to, was a multi-service GSM / IP based

wireless access technology, using GSM, H.323 and core IP network technologies, developed to

provide high capacity voice and data services for a corporate "Office" or campus system.

I worked on the following projects:

  · Developed the QAF- Q Adapter Function that performed the mediation function for the

SNMP agents (resident on the Wireless Gateway) to make them accessible from the

Operations and Maintenance Centre manager software (based on CMIP protocol).

o Technologies: C++ on SUN Solaris 2.6

  · Developed the IWG (intelligent wireless gateway) File based Database editor Software.

o Technologies: C/C++ on Windows NT using MS Visual Studio 6.0

4.3. Management Information System (MIS) Software for ADMOSS –Advanced Multifunctional

Operator Service System

Technologies: pl/sql scripts on Oracle RDBMS
