Software Engineer III at Cisco

I currently work on the Business Engineering and Commerce team at Meta. My primary focus is developing software that enables advertisers to sell products on Instagram and Facebook. Additionally, I assist business teams in integrating new e-commerce platforms and resolving integration issues with our advertisers and sellers.
•	I am part of the core engineering team that builds the Subscription feature for Instagram. I am responsible for the development of the catalog database schema and the ingestion systems integrating with Shopify. This feature unlocked $327 million in TAM.
•	I was the project lead to build an MVP of an AI-bot using Meta’s LLM framework LAMA3 to help small and medium advertisers integrate with Meta’s advertisement systems.
•	I built a notification system that alerts sellers about meeting order SLA requirements, identifying inconsistent states, tracking returns, and improving the stability of order processing. The system alerted on over $10 million worth of merchandise and helped to recapture $4 million worth of revenue.
•	I developed seller notifications and diagnostic tools to ensure that sellers provided customer support on Instagram. The system alerted on $7.5 million worth of merchandise and helped recapture $3 million worth of revenue.
•	I regularly work with my business partners and help onboard sellers integrate with Meta’s advertisement systems. I debugged production issues and unblocked advertisers to meet our revenue targets.

Instagram

Software Engineer

Webex

Software Engineer IV

I currently work on WebEx, Cisco’s flagship videoconferencing and communication application. My primary focus is in the development of backend systems to support end to end encryption of application data. My secondary focus is development of a notification microservice for mobile clients. My third focus is implementing new features for the Android client and development of support tools for customers to configure on-site backend systems.
• I worked on the integration of hardware security modules to generate more secure keys to encrypt content on the platform along with a key life cycle management. This allowed us to create more a robust security system.
• I worked on the implementation of security configurations to meet FIPS- 140-2 certification allowing us to provide services to the US government.
• I worked on the implementation of a new android features to support gif generation and transmission.
• I worked on the implementation of soft token caching for transmission of notification to mobile clients.
• I worked on the execution of a fast scalability plan to meet the increased traffic demands caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Software Engineer III

I was part of a core team of eight to develop a new product called Control Center for Mobile Enterprise (CCME). This was an analytical and cellular management platform used by cellular providers and enterprise customers. Launched in October of 2016 with an initial cellular subscription of half a million.
• I developed a file upload feature that allowed customers to complete bulk configuration changes where over 100K cellular updates were completed in less than five minutes.
• I developed a real-time analytical feed of usage and data consumption for all cellular subscriptions on the product with a max latency of five minutes.
• I implemented a big data analysis engine to run usage, data and cost reports on all cellular subscriptions.

JASPER WIRELESS INC

Software Engineer II

I was part of the service reliability engineering team with my primary focus on building logging and metrics infrastructure to support production systems built on in house datacenters. My secondary focus was in the development of automation testing to validate functional and performance tests.
• I implemented a distributed logging infrastructure for debugging and monitoring production environments using an elastic search-based application.
• I implemented a distributed cloud monitoring tool to measure times series metrics for alerting and trend analysis of production systems.
• I expanded a selenium based Java framework for UI automation to ensure performance benchmarks of applications and run batch process performance tests.

Jasper is a pioneer in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. We develop a saas platform to harmoniously connect wireless devices to internet around the world. Our main customers are large cellular operators and enterprises.

Service reliability:-
1.	Managing and resolving production issues for the main Saas platform. 
2.	Correcting irregular data entries and code changes for main production issues.
3.	Development monitoring and alerting applications to ensure a 99.999% uptime of application primarily maintaining logging infrastructure and using open source graphite 

Automation Testing:-
1.	Back-end automated end to end performance tests to ensure operations in the platform were completed efficiently and within measurable performance standards.
2.	Development of automated UI tests with Selenium framework to validate functionality of webpages in the platform.
3.	Development of automated tests for SOAP API to check the execution of backend applications.

Software development:-
1.	Creation of new functionality in main saas platform using MVC design pattern. 
2.	Development of REST APIs to execute multiple operations with security and role restrictions.
3.	Implementation of internal processes in saas platform to automate testing data.

•	Experience in designing power monitoring and electrical control systems for large facilities such as factories, data centers, and hospital and education research centers. 
•	Experience in configuring and troubleshooting network systems using computer networking architectures, topologies and hardware. 
•	Designed network diagram and one line diagrams for power distribution systems for large facilities. 
•	Created Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI’s) such as graphical screen development, database design (SQL) and HTML development.
•	Familiar with trip units, switch gears, circuit breakers and emergency power systems. 
•	Trained in Modicon, Quantum, M340 and Momentum PLC programming for automated systems.
•	Traveled to several customer sites in Texas.

Schneider Electric Professional Services Division

Application Engineer

I led a team of 12 engineers to design and build Purdue University’s first satellite to investigate radiation in the upper atmosphere.
• I defined the scientific and educational objectives of the project.
• I secured multiple research grants and sponsorship to raise funding for
the project.
• I was responsible for recruitment and coordination of work between the
team and the faculty.

Purdue SAT - Project Lead

•	Built power system, temperature sensors and power generation sensors for satellite PurdueSAT1 by applying my knowledge of Linear Circuit theory and Microelectronic devices. 
•	Designed prototypes for all designs along with P-Spice Simulation on which multiple tests were conducted.  Successfully integrated these systems with other parts of the satellite.
