OBJECTIVE

To grow professionally, manage a team of people to work on projects that involve interacting with people in multiple groups, and to contribute to the growth of the organization.   
 

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

• I have led teams for many projects, many of those that needed a lot of interaction and coordination among various people and have consistently delivered quality products on schedule.
• I have more than ten years of work experience in embedded systems working with some of the best people in the industry.
  
• I have a good mix of hardware and software knowledge. I have done hardware design, worked extensively with various logic analysers, in-circuit emulators, simulators, board support packages etc., written complicated state machines and disassemblers for various microprocessors and microcontrollers. 
  

I'm currently involved in the development of diagnostics software for the Cisco optical networking platforms. This software is used by the hardware team during board bringup and later on by the manufacturing organization to test the boards before they are shipped to the customer. My job involves a lot of interaction with the various teams in the organization. I interact with the hardware/ASIC team to ensure that the features are included in the hardware design to facilitate the development of adequate diagnostics software. I interact with the other people in the application software engineering team to develop driver routines for the various components on the card and ensure that the application software has hooks in place to call the diagnostics software. I also interact with the manufacturing and test engineering team to develop and help in automating their testsuites.
