Confidential, Dallas- USA Mar 2008 to July 2008

Role: Designer and Developer (Component Owner)

Project Title: Develop and maintain S60 Helix Thumbnail Engine
The Requirement was to recreate a Thumbnail Engine component to support thumb generation for more variety of contents. The new Thumbnail Engine was designed to use the Helix Metadata Engine and Video renderer libraries to generate thumb. Also it was re- modeled into a Symbian Client/ Server micro framework in order to get real time UI supported events.
The Project required extensive analysis and code development of Thumbnail Engine and its utility layers with Helix multimedia player. Responsibilities also include maintaining the Thumbnail engine and its communication layer with Media Gallery component and other Thumbnail Engine clients.
Responsibilities:

• Adding new metadata functionality and utility APIs to existing Helix Metadata library.
• Deploying the Thumb generation logic to Symbian Client/Server framework.
• Changes to Video renderer component to be used in Decode only mode.
• Developing the Thumbnail Engine based on above theories and ideas.
• Testing the Thumbnail Engine component by creating a test framework which will try to exhaustively test the thumb generation for different codecs.
• Responsibly handling Ownership of the Thumbnail Engine component.
• Maintaining the Engine and Error Management with the help of small team of developers and testers.

Confidential,UK April 2006 to Dec 2007
Role: Developer (Licensee Consulting to Motorola)

Project Title: Development of SIP Client Resolver Component
Description:
Motorola, being a Licensee to Symbian required a SIP component which essentially could behave as a framework for providing target SIP clients resolving services and a SIP message delivery chain.
Development of a new SIP Client Resolver component required creation of a possible architecture to make the resolution of target client possible upon receiving SIP requests from the default port. Target clients interested in receiving SIP requests in turn must implement an ECom interface called SIP Client Resolver API, meaning that every target client must provide a standard Symbian plug-in to be used within SIP Client Resolver Framework.

Responsibilities:

• Consultations with Motorola Technical Architects and Program managers to come up with a possible solution to fit the Client Resolver component in Symbian framework.
• Defining Uses Cases and Boundaries for the Client Resolver Component
• Design of Client Resolver Architecture at Meta Model level.
• Detailed Class level Design of each of the Subcomponent - Resolver Client, Resolver Server, Resolver.
• Defining Operations and roles for each of the subcomponent.
• Defining dependencies within the component and with other SIP components.
• Participation in implementation of the design to come up with a set of APIs that can reside in the standard Symbian Client - Server framework.
• Defining Network capabilities of each API.
• Defining and monitoring Symbian Central repository usage and Memory Consumption of the core binaries as well as peripheral Ecom-plugins.
• Consultations with Test Architects of different organizations like Sasken and NSTL in view of Outsourcing the creation of Test harness framework which can exhaustively test the component.
• IDE integration design to test the framework under various IDEs - Visual studio Code Warrior, Eclipse etc.
• Detailing Test Specification and test cases scenarios to come up with a bundle of test cases to comply with SIP IETF standards.
• Hardware testing under the radio network over Motorola phone devices.

Confidential, Bangalore August 2004 to Mar 2006
Role: Developer

Project Title: Development of SIP High level Wrapper API
Description:
Confidential, Licensed Confidential, SIP Stack required a wrapper over it to talk to the lower layer Symbian Socket Server (ESOCK). ESOCK provides a common interface for client software to access communication protocols, such as TCP/IP and IRDA. The requirement here was to extend the ESOCK APIs to support SIP in addition to TCP/IP and IRDA.

This was achieved by writing separate server side interface for the SIP in the form of Connection and Sub Connection providers. The ESOCK API will interact with connection and sub connection providers and connection and sub connection providers will in turn interact with the high level wrapper of SIP stack which includes State machine and Transition engine.

Responsibilities:

• Designing the architecture for High level API and framing call back functions in the API.
• Implementation of the design to provide a 2 layer framework between the SIP Client APIs and ESOCK API.
• Creating suitable test bed which exhaustively tests the APIs of the wrapper.
• Writing test specifications and defining test cases.
• Deploying the test harness in Symbian Automated Build Environment.

Additional Responsibilities Handled

• Defect Coordinator (6 Months). Worked as a Primary Defect Coordinator for Multimedia Protocols Team . Being a single point of contact for the defect maintenance related matter within Symbian and also to Symbian Platinum partners and licensees using the Multimedia protocols (SIP, RTP) components Task Details:
• Software Release Engineer (6 Months) I had worked under the post of Primary Software Release Engineer (SRE) for MMP team. The post comprised of administering and maintaining the stability of MMP code using Perforce tool.
• Build Coordinator (4 Months) Setting up Automated Hardware Nightly build environment for Multimedia Protocols.
