Objective:
I consider myself a technology geek with passion for business. Technology fascinates me. I have enjoyed working in various software development roles in many industries over the years. A few years ago, I realized that I wanted to be part of the product design and marketing rather than remain within the engineering side. This way I could apply my technical knowledge and seek more challenging assignments. I went on to complete my MBA from Oregon Graduate Institute (OHSU) in 2004, where I learned a lot about marketing and its role in the product development life cycle. On graduation, I decided to move to a technical marketing position where I got a chance to apply my technical knowledge and also learned how to deal with customers, gather product requirements, and create effective customer communication materials, co-ordinate product development activities with engineering, operations and suppliers. I enjoyed these new responsibilities just as much as I enjoyed engineering. I am seeking a challenging position in which I can apply my knowledge of technology and passion for business to help design and market great technology products that bring real benefit to end customers.

Title: Noise simulation on repeated nets.
Client: Intel Corporation
Environment: UNIX/C/C++, TCL/TK, PERL, SWIG
Duration: Jan 98-Sept 99
Team Size: 10
Role: Development and enhancement of simulation programs.
Description: These sets of programs are used to simulate and estimate noise levels in repeated net cells (blocks of wire segments in an IC). There are some programs already existing that are being used by the design team for noise simulations but due to data explosion they are running very slowly. My job is to enhance the performance of these programs by modifying or rewriting new programs in some cases. These programs are TCL/TK and PERL scripts which use C/C++ libraries. The interface between C/C++ libraries and Tcl/Tk/PERL is generated using a package called SWIG (Simplified Wrapper Interface Generator). A circuit and its sub-sections called net-cells or macros are represented as a series of resistances and capacitances connected together. These macros are represented in many different formats for different types of simulations. Input to my programs is an output from a program, which determines the locations of repeaters to be placed in a netcell to reduce the noise and generates a report based on the estimations. My programs use this data and the description of the net-cells from original net-cell files and perform simulations for noise estimation. These programs include C routines, which manipulate these net-cells as a connected graph, break or reorganize them according to the repeater locations and calculate the noise values.

Title: Staroffice Server Enhancements
Client: NEC, Japan.
Environment: Windows NT, C.
Duration: 5 Months (Apr'97 to Sept'97)
Team Size: 20
Role: Enhancement to the server software to add support for mixed byte that is a mixture of MultiByte and ASCII characters in title fields of the cabinets, folders, documents, mails etc.
Description: StarOffice is NEC's office environment product. This product has two components StarOffice Server and StarOffice Stations. The Server is the central entity, which hold all the data and controls operations of a group of offices. The server functionality includes maintaining cabinets, folders, documents created by users (from Station) for their personal use and for office use, provides facility for internal and Internet mails. Titles for all these items could be either in ASCII or in multi-byte(Japanese) characters. It was required to enhance the software to facilitate use of a mixture of ASCII and multibyte characters in the title fields of these items for new versions of Server and client. The new server was still required to support all the existing clients and the old version of servers. So when 'talking' with old version of clients and server the new server was required to convert all the mixed-byte titles to multi-byte titles.

Description: StarOffice is NEC's office environment product. This product has two components StarOffice Server and StarOffice Stations. The Server is the central entity, which hold all the data and controls operations of a group of offices. The server functionality includes maintaining cabinets, folders, documents created by users (from Station) for their personal use and for office use, provides facility for internal and Internet mails. This Server software was available for Windows NT and it was required to be ported to UNIX (HP-UX). Since the software was originally written for Windows NT it included heavy usage of Win32 API. My job was to write all the Win32 API functions used by the server software in UNIX. The functions included file maintenance functions like DeleteFile, CopyFile, CreateDirectory, MoveFile, FindFirstFile, FindNextFile, file locking functions like locking, critical section functions like CreateCritical Section, EnterCriticalSection, library related functions like LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, FreeLibrary, thread related functions like _beginthreadx, _endthreadx, TerminateThread, EndProcess.

Duration: 9 Months (Oct'95-Jul'96)
Team Size: 9.
Role: Design and development of the Server/Gateway software which involved programming in TCP/IP (sockets) / XMODEM / UNIX internals.
Description: This is a Client-Server application. The Server software is located at the insurance company (Payer). The Client software is located at the doctor's site. File transfer is through modems using XMODEM protocol and through Internet using TCP/IP. The end client software (doctor) dials to the server (Gateway) located at the Med-Link site, and uploads the Eligibility/Referral inquiry file. This file may contain data for many payers. The Server at Med-Link splits this file for individual payers and connects to all these payers (which are connected through leased lines) using TCP/IP. The Servers located at the payers, process this data, generate response file and send it back to the Med-Link server. When all the responses are gathered, Med-Link server merges all these files into one and uploads this file to the doctor. Doctor can make an inquiry about eligibility of a patient by entering data into the Eligibility Inquiry dialogue. A file containing single or multiple such inquiries for multiple payers is then uploaded to the Med-Link Server through modems using XMODEM protocol and another file is downloaded as a response to this inquiry. This file is interpreted and the eligibility data is updated in the databases.

Role: Team Leader. Design and coding.
Description: Med-Link Technologies Inc. is engaged in providing Health Care networking services. It acts as a switch between insurance companies and doctors. As a switch its main job is to collect health claim data from doctors, validate it, group it and transmit it to various insurance companies. Doctors send plain text files for submitting their health claims. The health claim data coming from different doctors can be in different formats. Also different insurance companies have different formats for their health claim programs. Generic Translator program accepts health claim data in any format as input and arranges the data in ISAM tables. Then any validations, grouping is done on this data if necessary and then it is again converted into a plain text file, as needed by different insurance companies. Some non-standard file formats needed some preprocessing like adjusting the length of records or to adding additional record delimiters etc. This was done mostly using shell programming and Perl scripts and awk/sed.
