Develop C/C++ real-time software on a certified RTOS (DEOS) for safety-critical avionics systems. Design and develop the Charts Application GUI on Anthem using Ansys SCADE, and implement ARINC 661-compliant UI widgets and synthetic-vision symbology.

Module owner for two C components on the Systemwalker platform, handling development, defect-fixing, and maintenance. Authored Linux shell automation for build and delivery workflows, and led knowledge-transfer sessions.

Fabricated and electrically characterised semiconductor logic inverters and gas sensors using IGZO and MXene thin-film materials, with hands-on exposure to semiconductor device behaviour and low-level electrical characterisation.

Developed Embedded C firmware for sensor calibration and hydraulic actuator control algorithms, plus low-level peripheral drivers, on automotive ECUs. Implemented in-vehicle ECU communication over CAN and I2C, and built a Python SIL test-automation framework from scratch.

Delivered and maintained enterprise software modules across multi-year client programmes with consistent focus on code quality, defect-density reduction, and on-time delivery.

Activities and societies: IUCAA Research Fellow (2017–2018): built the SUIT data simulator for ISRO's Aditya-L1 solar mission (MATLAB/IDL), independently designing region-of-interest and solar-flare tracking algorithms and validating onboard instrument data pipelines pre-launch.

M.Tech in Solid-State Electronic Materials from IIT Roorkee. As an IUCAA Research Fellow, built the SUIT data simulator for ISRO's Aditya-L1 solar mission and designed solar-flare tracking algorithms.

B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering from Amrita School of Engineering, Bengaluru.
