Gyrodata Incorporated
Embedded System Engineer (Digital Signal Processing)
December 2010 - May 2014 (3 years 6 months)
Houston, Texas Area

• Implemented low level drivers for ADC, UART, I2C, SPI, EEPROM, PWM, H-
bridge control and timers of the PIC18 and ARM7 devices.
• Created schedulers, state machines and implemented modulation techniques
to correspond with Gyrodata’s GSDS system.
• Worked on the BPSK modulation and demodulation scheme to implement a
hop over 55 feet in air.
• Implemented compression schemes and error detection techniques to
improve throughput and reduce packet loss.
• Helped in hardware selection and testing to identify suitable memory chips.
• Developed a bootloader for the 89c51re2 controller to help reprogram the
microcontroller from within the tool string
• Implemented standard HID driver using PIC18F4550 and PIC18F45K50.
• Developed a custom windows driver to use the standard HID driver as a
custom NI-VISA driver.
Digital Signal Processing Applications -
• Designed and developed Gyrodata’s first surface system improving
demodulation capabilities by nearly 50%
• Analyzed Pulse Position Modulated data in Matlab to develop a robust
demodulation scheme in highly noisy conditions.
• Implemented the system on the NI-ComapctRIO using both the FPGA and
the Real Time sections.
• FIR filtering, adaptive filtering, adaptive thresholding, correlation algorithm
and various optimization techniques were used to reduce noise and reduce
false positives.

track.
• Designed and implemented a vision system to map trajectories and speeds
of bubble through 3-D printed pulser inside Gyrodata’s wind tunnel.
• Worked with a core group of mechanical engineers to analyze image data to
identify corrosion effects of the reciprocating pulser
• Designed and implemented the wind tunnel data monitoring and acquisition
system.
• Correlated data with imaging system to accurately understand standing
waves in Gyrodata’s wind tunnel system.

January 2009 - December 2010 (2 years)
Thesis: "Robust heart rate variability analysis using Gaussian process
regression"

Project: AutoSense

Defence Institute
Research Student (UG)
April 2007 - April 2008 (1 year 1 month)
Presented in partial fulfillment of final year project in my bachelor's course.
Project for the army done under DIAT- Defense Institute of Advanced
Technology.Model kept at DIAT and will now be researched further by DRDO-
Defense Research and Development Organization. Worked under Mrs.
Kathika Roy (Scientist - B) as well as Mrs.Vidyavati Nayak (Scientist- C).
Software part done on Matlab as well as microcontroller coding of ATmega128
where we implemented RSA encoding for encryption and also layered CSMA-
CD in the code so as to make a complete sensor network between three active
devices(Two glove systems and a computer base station). Data sent between
the two systems was authenticated using army codes and then also stored by
the silent listener in the form of the base station so that it could be reviewed at
a later stage.
