WORK EXPERIENCE
Bell Laboratories (Lucent), Murray Hill, NJ,
(Member of Technical Staff, December 1998-present)
Virtual Private Network (VPN) Designer :
Member of the team involved in the design and development a software tool
for designing,
provisioning and configuring of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). The major
functionality of the
tool includes traffic-engineering, determination of explicit routes for
flows/demands belonging to
a VPN, and determination of router queuing and scheduling parameters. I
got a chance to
understand the concepts of multi-commodity flow, linear programming models,
and network
optimization algorithms. The software code was written using C++ and SQL.
Optical Network Design :
Member of the team involved in the design and development of a web-based
network design
tool for optical networks. The tool solves a variety of optical network
design problems; both ring
and mesh types based on user selected routing method and protection models.
Because of the
client-server architecture of the tool, the computationally intensive network
design algorithms
can be implemented on servers suitable for this purpose and any authorized
client can access
them over the web to solve their problems. The software code is being written
in Java using the
latest Swing components.
Hughes Software Systems, India,
(Software Engineer, June 1998 - November 1998)
Fixed Wireless Network Management :
Member of the team involved in the design and development of a network
management tool for
fixed wireless networks. I also developed a PERL and Expect based tool
that automated the
testing process. The software code was written using C++, PERL and Expect.
Network Management (Transaction Language 1) :
Member of the team involved in the design and implementation of Transaction
Language (TL1)
protocol analyzer. There were four main modules in this project - TL1 parser,
User interface,
Network Element interface and TCP/IP based Network Element Simulator. I
was solely
responsible for the design and development of the last three modules. The
software code was
written in C and Motif with extensive use of UNIX socket programming.
B. TECH. PROJECTS
Design and Implementation of a low noise Fiber-Optic receiver :
It was my major B.Tech project in IIT Kanpur under the guidance of Dr.
Joseph John. We
designed a low noise receiver for a 20 MHz fiber optic data link. We used
PSPICE for
extracting and characterizing the BJT, JFET and PIN photodiode parameters.
After we
achieved the optimal trade-off between the receiver sensitivity and bandwidth,
we came up with
the final receiver design, which we then fabricated on a printed circuit
board.
Inventory control application on Oracle :
As a part of our course on Database Systems, we developed an Oracle based
application using
Developer 2000 for the inventory control of a warehouse. Primarily written
in SQL, the software
provided an interactive user-friendly environment to easily manage and
control the inventory of
any manufacturing firm.
