PROFILE:

• 10+ years of extensive practical experience in Software Design and Development in Networking (VoIP, SIP, H323 & Wireless) domain.
• Excellent hands on experience in C and C++. Hands on Python for scripting.
• Deployed and implemented Lync/Skype for Business SDN API along with Microsoft team (as a development partner from Aruba Networks). Currently, Lync SDN API is available publicly and has been consumed by enterprise giants like HP, Cisco, Nectar and Event - Zero.
• Good understanding of NAT & Firewall on Aruba Controllers.
• Working knowledge and good understanding of multiple RFC/Drafts of VoIP protocol.
• Proof of Concept (PoC) work lead to the creation of Drafts.
• Recognized for delivering features which are unique selling points for products.
• Good understanding of QoS on unified communication tools like Lync, Skype & Jabber. Enthusiastic about leadership responsibilities.
• Excellent troubleshooting and analytical skills.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Feature development on Confidential like Jabber, Lync, Skype & doing case study for Lync Audio call quality.
• Also handling customer issues for ArubaOS Voice ALG (ArubaOS has various Voice ALG like SIP, H323, SCCP, NOE, Vocera & SVP). In addition to this, worked on wireless infrastructure of Access Point (AP) & Controller.
• Lync is a unified communication that is used to make voice/video/Desktop-Sharing & File Transfer.
• When Lync clients are involved in voice/video calls, media data (RTP) goes all the way from client AP Controller network switches & back to Controller AP client. using SDN/Open Flow Controller & Agent, media path can be hair-pinned at AP. This will have sufficient improvement on call quality metrics.
• Service Controller will have Apps to interact with SDP/Open Flow to program the Controller/Switches to forward the RTP traffic using ZMQ API’s.
• In typical deployment scenarios, Aruba Controller can only modify L2 & L3 header priority value of the media packets that are flowing downstream to Lync clients. Aruba Controller cannot control the L2 & L3 header priority value of the media packets that are originated from Lync clients.
• This PoC is to have interaction between Lync clients & Aruba Controller so that Aruba Controller can influence the Lync clients to modify the L2 & L3 header priority value. This is done by sending HTTP POST message with suitable XML body containing the details of L2 & L3 priority value.

Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• To support HTTPS (XML) message we used TLS with Client & Server authentication.
• Supporting Early Media for SIP Voice ALG: Implement RFC 5009, 3959, 3960.
• Enhancing the SIP ALG State machine to handle Mid - Call Messages.
• Handling Wireless issues on Access Point, Controller.
• Feature development and handling customer issues on Cisco voice gateways.
• Products like B2BUA (also called as IPIP GW or CUBE), CME & TDM-IP GW is worked upon. All these products use both SIP & H323 protocol for signalling.
• Worked on the following features:
• Lossless Media Compression for SIP Trunks using G711.0: G.711 is still the dominant telephony codec in use today. However, G.711 is a high bit rate codec requiring 64 kbps of bandwidth per call per direction. G.711.0 is a lossless compression of G.711 voice payload; absolutely no loss of voice quality whatsoever & with > 50% of bandwidth reduction. With this proposal & proof of concept, we show how the regular G.711 payload will be further compressed with the lossless compression algorithm like G711.0 on IPIP GW.
