Software Engineering Skills: Ability to architect and design solution for a given problem within the existing framework of system. Suggest enhancements for implementing newer features as per need. Prepare High Level Design specifications from given Functional Requirements Implement the software. Design efficient and modular architecture and reusable software design Hands on experience in Design and development. Hands on Embedded (Real Time) Application development.

WORK HISTORY Component Owner, Juniper Networks, Inc. Bangalore, India

April 04 – Till date Currently, I am responsible for the Component, Resource Reservation Protocol with Traffic Engineering Extentions (RSVP-TE) based on MPLS. My current responsibilities include • Implementing (functional specification, design, develop, test) customer driven features for the component in coming releases of Junos-e. Presently implementing P2MP Tunnels using RSVP-TE extensions. sustaining component (resolving various customer issues by triage/analysis, fix if required) As part of my work related to RSVP, I have become familiar with RFCs (2205/3209/4090) and BFD. I have gained a valuable insight into the RSVP and related components (MPLS, IGPs [OSPF/ISIS] and LDP) for today’s MPLS based networks. In the recent past I have been B-RAS Accounting (Bulk Statistics) Component owner for Junos-e Platform. (Junos-e is the proprietary OS for Juniper’s ERX/REX Series Routers). Work comprises of RLI (Features) implementations based on customer requirements or internal proposals. Thusfar, implemented features: Virtual Router based statistics collection, VLAN bulk-statistics. Presently working on architectural improvements of bulk statistics component. Worked on Sustaining/Feature enhancements for Junos-e. Work involved feature enhancements and defect resolution related to the JunoseERX series Router software system based on vxWorks using C++.

Technical Lead, Reliance Infocom, Mumbai, India April 03 – April 04 Managing a Team of 10 people in the OSS- Network management integration for Reliance Infocom. Successfully lead the team in development of Performance Management systems for Infocom Switching and Transport Networks. Optimized the data flow path for performance data collection for switching network. Lead the team for developing Configuration, Fault and Performance Interfaces for Access Network comprising edge network equipment. The development was using various Tools / Scripting tools on Solaris environment. The work is part of OSS-Network Integration efforts.

Consultant, Mantra Communications, MD, USA November 01 – March 03 System Integration (FCAPS) of various Network Equipments with the Operational Support System (OSS). This is being done at client site (Mumbai, India). The client is a large Telecom Operator. 

Working on Network Side Integration with OSS. Devices such as Transport Elements (Nortel) , Switches (Ericsson), Routers (CISCO/Juniper), DS3 Multiplexing Equipment, and Fiber monitoring Systems are being integrated for the FCAPS using the OSS(FCAPS-Fault, Configuration, Administration, Performance and Security Management). This has given a significant exposure

in Network Management and above for a flow through provisioning and maintenance of a large telco operations company. It also has enriched my personal abilities (managing a team of 10+ developers).

Member, Technical Staff, Celox Networks Inc, MA, USA November 00 – October 01 Involved in Development of Services Software Design and Implementation of SNMP MIBs, Interfaces & Forwarding Table Distributor, Event Management Module, and Fault Management Software. The software is for (PowerPC processor) the IP Services Communications equipment. Development platform is Sun Sparc for target as well as Unix simulation.
