• Developed, Optimized, Tested, validated, debugged, and refactored code to improve scalability, resilience, performance, maintainability, and effectiveness as part of DevOps releases.
• Collaboration and partnership with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project manager, technical lead) to determine software requirements within and across teams.
• Guided teams and led identification of dependencies and development of design documents for product or platform across 30 major releases across Storage product lines such as USB, SSD, SD card, and NAND flash devices.
• Single point of contact for upstream/downstream teams for various product line development, testing, and releases. Guided and mentored the team in driving multiple groups' project plans, release plans, and work items in coordination with appropriate stakeholders.
• Guided team and acted as expert in product design and architecture. Monitored other engineers across product lines, working on call to monitor system/product/service for degradation, downtime, or interruptions.

• Software and Firmware Development, Testing, Validation, Failure Analysis etc.
• Collaboration and partnership with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project manager, technical lead) to determine software requirements within and across teams.
• Identifying dependencies and developing design documents for the product or platform across 30 major releases across Storage product lines such as USB, SSD, SD card, NAND flash devices.
• Optimized, Tested, validated, debugged, refactored, and reused code to improve scalability, resilience, performance, maintainability, and effectiveness as part of DevOps releases.
• Developed automation tools for process improvement. Below are some of the self-driven Automation projects
• Heimdall: Data collection, analytical and self-learning tool with GUI. Tools: Python, Wx-Form builder, Django, MongoDB
• Express-FA: Framework to auto trigger the failure analysis and reporting on hardware devices using JTAG parser and python. Tools : Metaware Debugger, Python
• NAND State Transition Matrix Generator: Generates different NAND cell error distributions from the real hardware NAND flash memory and applies the same on device simulation. Tools : Python numpy, Python pandas, GIT
• Auto Playlist Generator: Automation tool to develop test scripts and playlists of them in Python for a given product layout- configuration along with execution. Tools : Python web, Python pandas, python form builder, MVT architecture of Django
