Education:
2015-2016: Electrical Engineering, M.Sc., Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden
Major: Signal and Image Processing
2011-2014: Electronics and Communication Engineering, B.Tech., Jawaharlal Nehru
Technological University, Kakinada, India
Experience:
08/16-09/16: Software Craftsmanship, Soft House, Karlskrona, Sweden
The project assigned is “Monitoring the Health of Servers”. In this project, we developed a web
application to visualize the different metric values of Linux server. The project is developed
following the Agile Scrum methodology.
Technical Competencies:
SCALA programming to create REST API.
CASSANDRA database to store the metric values.
PYTHON scripting to collect metrics of server.
HTML5, CSS, AngularJS, Angular Am Charts for web GUI development to visualize
the metrics as graphs and Pie chart.
06/16-08/16: Algorithm Developer, Blekinge Business Incubator Startup, Karlskrona
The startup aims at designing fitness schedules for endurance sports training.
My role is to design and develop a new algorithm by analyzing the fitness data of the
user and help him/her reach his fitness goals. The developed algorithm provides a
personalized schedule.
we trained a Neural Network to reschedule training sessions based on pre-session
results. The Algorithm is implemented in MATLAB.
02/16-03/16: Marketing Internship, Pricelizer, Sweden
The company aims at developing an ultimate Price Monitoring App.
My role is to promote the company’s product in various sources. Talking to the
customers and explaining them about the company’s product and benefits. I am assisted
with special promotions.
05/14-06/14: Internship, Telecommunication Networking, BSNL, Hyderabad, India
Trained on TCP/IP models, Layer 1, 2, 3 protocols, Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Technology used in Network Interface Backup (NIB) network in real-time projects.
Master Thesis:
02/16 – 09/16: Spectral Clustering algorithm to segment the Fingerprint Images
Main goal of thesis is to contribute something new to Research. Fingerprint Image
segmentation plays an important role in Automatic fingerprint recognition (AFIS)
systems for reliable individual identification.
We used an unsupervised learning technique named Spectral Clustering which is new
approach for Fingerprint segmentation.
The algorithm is implemented using MATLAB and it is tested on all FVC Databases,
manually segmented databases.
Project Experience:
10/15 – 12/15: Real-time DSP Implementation of Sub Band Beam former for speech
enhancement
This project is performed to get hands on experience with Digital Signal Processors
(DSP). In this project, we implemented a Sub band Weiner Beamforming algorithm for
suppression of noise interfering with speech signal on ADSP-21262 processor.
A dual microphone input and Weighted Overlap Add (WOLA) filter bank is used for the
analysis and synthesis of the input noisy speech signal.
Initial coding part for analysis is performed using MATLAB, then implementation of
algorithm on DSP is done using Visual DSP++ in C language.
