Looking for an internship in the field of Embedded Systems Development, utilizing my programming skills

• 
  Programming skills: Assembly, C, C++, VC++ (SDK & MFC), Visual Basic, MATLAB and VHDL
  
• 
  Microcontrollers/processors: 80C51, 80C52, 8085, 8086, PIC24 family, LPC2292/94 (ARM7)
  
• 
  Protocols: TCP/IP, RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C, Bluetooth, Wi-fi, GPS, GSM, CDMA
  
• 
  Tools/IDE: TASM, MASM, MPLAB, KEIL, Multi-Sim, Pspice, Xilinx (9.0), Simulink, Wire-shark
  
• 
  Operating Systems: DOS, Windows 2003 server/XP/Vista/Win 7, Linux/Unix Shell Scripting
  

• 
  Designed a signal conditioning circuit, triggering circuit, FIFO buffered signal capture circuit using ADC and a microprocessor (8086) system (RAM, ROM, DMA and Interrupt controller) for digital signal capture. Furthermore, low level functions were written to control I/O ports (capture rate , triggering mode (Auto/Manual/Arm), trigger voltage level) and to run a user programmable callback function on a capture complete interrupt [Language Used: Assembly, C]
  

• 
  Developed Face detector which uses Ada-Boosting and Bootstrapping algorithms at training stage and multi-stage cascades of boosted classifiers aided with skin detection at testing stage. [Language Used: MATLAB]
  

• 
  Wrote TCP/IP stack to host an HTTP server for an automated robot ROVER to control its location coordinates and display data such as health, current location and wireless communication channel used for communication.[Embedded C]
  

• 
  Developed Round Robin Cooperative and Pre-emptive Real Time Operating system kernel functions for yielding, semaphore signaling, waiting and system timer on PIC24 platform. [Language Used: Assembly, Embedded C]
  

• 
  Two separate designs, Controller and Peripheral node. Controller provides a PC RS232 port through which commands can be entered. It outputs commands on a 2-wire RS-485 bus. Peripheral node extracts information out of the asynchronous data stream. It controls multiple devices connected to it and sends unsolicited messages to the controller in from input devices. Unacknowledged messages are retransmitted by random exponential back off algorithm. [Language Used: Embedded C]
  

• 
  Pressure, Temperature and Humidity sensors interfaced through ADC with the help of signal conditioning. A 4x4 Keyboard is the input device with menu support. Weather and RTCC data are displayed on the graphic LCD interfaced on SPI bus.[Language Used: Embedded C]
  

• 
  It simulates spatial multiplexing in presence of polarization diversity to show the effect of SNR on bit error rate.
  

• 
  The project consists of a set of Vehicle Tracking Units (VTUs) linked to central station through GSM module. VTU receives GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite data. Microcontroller in VTU calculates the global position coordinates and sends those to central station through Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM).
  

• 
  The project involved building high frequency coil based transistorized metal detection circuitry.
  

• 
  State Merit Rank Holder in High School Examination (1^st in college and 4^th in board in science stream)
  
• 
  National Open Merit Scholarship holder
  
• 
  Talent Search Scholarship holder (Level-I and Level-II)
