Currently I am working on design and implementation of a MFC project.The
application has to be rewritten (in Windows NT) using MFC from a propietary
library and then to Solaris. This is an FPGA design & simulation solution where a central software module interacts with a number of engines to generate output & to simulate test fixtures. These engines could be simulation tools,third party layout tools ,editors etc.The Beta release of this product has been made.The product was for a subsidiary of AMD.
This was done on MS VC++ (5.0).The porting to Solaris/HP-UX was done
using MainWin 3.1/3.0.

* Worked on tuning and bug-fixing of a MPEG-1/MPEG-2 encoding solution
for Windows NT 4.0.This included work in a user-mode MPEG stream
multiplexing DLL and on the Kernel-mode driver which provided an
interface to the encoder card.
This was done using SoftIce (3.2) on Windows NT & MS VC++ 5.0.

* Developed a PnP Vxd for Windows 95 for a memory-mapped
bus-master PCI MPEG Codec board. This driver was used by C-CUBE ,the client in COMDEX`97
This was being done using Windows 95 DDK with SoftIce (ver 3.2).

* Wrote an NDIS(3.0) protocol driver for a packet-sniffer application
for a high requirement (200 hits/second) web traffic analysis software.
This was for a major web-traffic software vendor in Sunnyvale,Ca.
This was done on WindowsNT(4.0) using DDK(4.0) and WinDbg.


1996-1997 Delsoft(I) Pvt Ltd New Delhi,INDIA.
Software Engineer
* Designed and developed of a multithreaded debugger application for an
MPEG Decoder chip(WindowsNT 4.0).Developed the scheduler thread for
communication through the serial port and also wrote kernel-mode driver
for AMCC S593X PCI controller and a parallel class driver for managing
the communication through an ECP parallel port.Managed a team of 3
people. Also developed the server side of this application which ran
on pSOS+. This was done for LSI-LOGIC Inc.
The tools were MS VC++ 4.0 ,pRISM for debugging pSOS+ application.

* Developed an MIB-specific SNMP manager using Visual Basic(4.0)32-bit on
Windows NT for managing the network elements which consisted of encoders
and decoders.This was put on show at INTEROP`96.
The tools used were MS Visual Basic(4.0)(32bit),SNMP protocol OCX.

* Worked on the debugger application for MPEG Decoder chip for Windows
3.11.


1994-1995 Fujitsu India Ltd Pune ,INDIA
Software Engineer
* Worked on a Hospital Management software for Fujitsu Australia on
INGRES DBMS.
* Worked on Rents module for a Housing management software called Open
House for ICL Ltd,UK using INGRES.
