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.
