Experience

1. Senior Software Engineer

   Acubed

   Sep 2021 — Present

   Designed and implemented GenICam-based camera drivers for vendor-agnostic sensor integration, later adopted across programs. Led the migration of OpenDDS stack to ROS2, ensuring distributed, low-latency, and fault-tolerant communications. Re-designed the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) in ROS2 for real-time operator input and telemetry visualization. Created screen recording solution for Toradex-based avionics display, saving in hardware and software costs. Mentored engineers and interns, conducting design reviews, code reviews, and fostering adoption of robust engineering practices. Built tools to evaluate speech-to-text and text-to-speech inference models, supporting AI-driven cockpit interaction research.Developed a secure custom OS for flight stack boot and built an SSD-based telemetry offload system integrated with Jenkins for automated workflows. Developed SSD based data collection system and SSD offload system using Jenkins. Developed custom GenICam based camera driver and in-flight entertainment driver for production camera on A320. Developed MCAP-based multimodal data recording system (image + telemetry) to support AI/ML-driven autonomy
