Technical consultancy, architecture and design support and intervention for DSP based video processing architecture for Mobile DVR, Robotic control system, Multi-parameter patient monitoring system. Architected the Wireless sensor network based Cardiac Emergency Monitoring Solution for a Medical Technology start-up comprising of home monitor and hospital based nurse monitor station and server side web application platform. Played a key role in customer engineering team and independently contributed to the end-end technology analysis and selection, feature definition, interface design, database design, medical device integration and conceptualizing, prioritizing and driving the implementation and integration of all components in the ecosystem using Agile development model. The software system design and the complex multi-tiered database design, partitioning of core system modules for use in monitor and server side systems, zigbee network interface module, interface definition for arrhythmia algorithms on Matlab environment and product verification and validation approach were some of my independent contribution as architect of this product. Architected the Remote Patient Monitoring Solution including the home monitor based on LAMP components on Intel platform and server side platform based on technologies. Played a key role in customer engineering team and independently contributed to the technology selection, feature and use case detailing, feature prioritization, interface design, database design, device integration and conceptualizing and driving the implementation and integration of all components in the ecosystem including interfacing with legacy medical record and monitoring systems. Acquired knowledge for Safety critical medical product design using proper design methodologies, Fault and Risk management, and standards based interfaces and protocols, such as use of CCR standards for data payload. Used innovative open technologies like Message oriented middleware, Enterprise Service Bus for data integration and transformation on server side and open technologies like LAMP, XML User Interface (XUL) technologies for the entire ecosystem. Was part of the customer pre-sales team to showcase the solution to OEM and endusers. Architected the embedded Linux distribution for a leading customer; was instrumental in building the core system team from ground up, feature definition, engineering design and development of the first generation targeting telecommunications market.
