About Chaitanya Varma Danduprolu

Experienced in analog electronic circuit design and embedded firmware development seeking full time position. I have good experience in the following areas:Programming Languages: C,C++, Visual Studio. I love C, am a fan of Linux so its obvious. I have been using C from my high school(6 years), I don\'t think there is something that is there in C that I don\'t know of. Used C++ in academic projects.Completely learned and used the visual studio in my internship to develop application for data acquisition.( Although I know most of the programming languages, I am exert in the above languages and I require very less time to learn a new programming language).Algorithms and Data structures: Linked lists are my favorite, also implemented queues, stacks etc. I am a fan of Linux kernel, so while learning to program Linux kernel accidentally digged the list.h and queue.h and found that Linux itself has wrappers to do all the data structure stuff. From then I started using them directly rather then writing from scratch. I can also write a new program if you give me job. In almost all the projects, I have done wither academic or research or industrial, I really like implementing of these. If you need anything complex hire me, I will make you one that exceeds your requirement. I am really a huge fan of microcontrollers. Give me any thing hardware/ software regarding, I can deliver best results. I have been playing with microcontrollers since my bachelors. I don\'t think any microcontroller ran past my observation. Microcontrollers : 8/16 bit PIC microcontrollers(in particular I have worked in 16F628,16F877, 16F72)16bit dsPIC33F microcontrollers 32bit microcontrollers: Programmed the CMSIS RTOS for STM32FRTOS programming: CMSIS RTOS ( have good knowledge on Linux kernel development, this gave me good ground work to start and develop RTOS projects). Protocols: SPI,RS232, TCP/IP. Interfacing ADC, DAC, PWM, LCD etc.

Experience

1. Staff Firmware Engineer

   Seagate Technology

   Aug 2023 — Present · Shakopee, MN, US

   I: Customer Product Lead For Dell for a Major revenue Hard drive Platform.Support day to day customer issues and queries.A. Customer firmware bring up for the new product. a. Integration Testing bring up to meet the customer metrics. Created and matured the customer firmware ahead of schedule by 2 weeks and helped meet the dead line in the process and customer drive delivery on time. b. Process firmware alignment. Worked with the manufacturing team which help with the product manufacturing, and B. Common Specification for reducing the Firmware complexity across OEM and Dell firmware. Achieved 40% complexity reduction by working with customer and taking away the feature that are no longer supported or no longer needed. Funneled back an unique requirement for the customer that created a change in the internal drive process change, so that the config can be turned on/off in case This caused the reduction in unique firmware and a common base drive pattern, that can be enabled or disabled based on the customer firmware.II.
