Santhosh Seetharaman's Resume (Last updated February 27th 2007)

To obtain an embedded software engineering position, with plenty of exposure
to hardware and low level design.

Designed and developed Posture Monitoring Device which is a research data acquisition device for 3 axis accelerometer data.

Worked with design engineers to develop an expandable low level hardware baseline. Managed software requirements. Designed the device driver and application framework. Developed code using IAR C++ for ARM 7 and ARM 7 assembler. Gained experience developing device drivers for I2C, SPI, ADC, USART, PIO, and USB(Bluetooth) peripherals. Integrated Micrium FAT32 based filesystem library with current framework and RSMMC cards.

Optimized power consumption with dynamic MCK shifting and different boot up schemes.Developed a service/calibration interface over the USART. Implemented a flash-based circular error logging scheme. The hardware and software framework was used to derive other research devices like a pedometer and neuro recorder.

Achieved an "outstanding" performance rating in a FDA regulated environment with changing requirements and time pressure.

Embedded software Engineer on the APEX - Intergrated Avionics cockpit systems.Developed,tested and integrated the Analog IO device driver which reads the data from the hardware using a time division multiplexing DMA scheme using the SPORT interface of the BF535 DSP.Developed, examined and integrated the AIO application which converts the raw data into engineering units and framework specific domain data types.Normalized, downsampled and gain adjusted .wav sound clips into Mono A-law sound files. Implemented, tested and integrated the Audio Capabilities of the Flight Deck Warning systems (FDWS).

Embedded software engineer on the Communication Navigation Identification group. Responsible for development, design, unit test, functional test and integration of software modules on the TI TMS 320c67 DSP. Developed ADF, NavChannel, VOR, LOC, GS channel high level classed. Developed NavRcvr device driver that interfaces AD 9874 ADC. Co Designed and developed AudioProc Class, which takes care of the Pre Audio Signal Processing functions which demodulates, decimates and filters the signal from an 84Khz sampling to 8kHz sampling. Codesigned and developed VorDetector and DDMdetector classes. Designed a wideband overload protection driver which tunes a HW notch filter to reduce in-band and out of band interference. Designed various FIR filters, FFT classes and signal processing functions.

Graduate Research Assistant on Semi Automated Image Processing Group.Implemented "Intelligent Scissors" a semi automated tool for interactive segmentation of noisy images for NIH. Research involves 2D dynamic programming, minimal path contour tracing and cost minimization approaches. Developed a fully automated approach to detect osteophytes in cervical spine radiograph images using Matlab. Implementation involves understanding of Active Contour Modeling and Greedy Algorithms.
