From November 2011 to March 2015 (3 years 5 months) Software Development Engineer 2 @ Designed and Implemented following new features for Windows Installer 5.0, included in Windows 7, in addition to numerous bug fixes: 1. Enhanced service configuration (http://bit.ly/MsiServiceConfig) 2. Enhanced permission setting (http://bit.ly/MsiLockPermissions) 3. Authoring a single package for per-user or per-machine installation context(http://bit.ly/MsiDualMode) 4. Windows 7 taskbar support with the MsiShortcutProperty table (http://bit.ly/MsiShortcut) Worked on new deployment technologies for modern application platform in Windows 8 since June 2009. From June 2007 to November 2011 (4 years 6 months) Teaching Assistant @ Assisted in teaching and grading of * COMP 530: Operating Systems and * COMP 410: Object Oriented Software Design courses From August 2006 to May 2007 (10 months) Software Development Engineer Intern @ Worked in the Windows Core Operating Systems Division(COSD) on a "Verifiable and Complete Static System Model for a prototype Deployment Platform" • Designed a powerful self-describable model to represent static system organization • Implemented object-oriented prototype to provide enhanced functionality similar to globally accessible, untyped Windows registry; extensible model allows technologies to define their own system representation in an XML-based language • Achieved complete separation of logical representation from physical storage which allows a flexible and semantically richer deployment platform From May 2006 to August 2006 (4 months) Research Assistant @ • Evaluated four most popular models in recent literature on optimal router buffer sizing • Examined their effectiveness in realistic and controllable network conditions under a range of operational parameters like network load, queue length, etc. • Measured these models in terms of metrics like connection response time, link utilization and loss rates to measure performance From August 2005 to May 2006 (10 months) Research Intern @ Implemented the Pastry peer-to-peer overlay on the BlueBottle Operating System, using Active Oberon programming language for development From May 2004 to July 2004 (3 months) Summer Intern @ • Designed a 1.5 Mbps Function Controller IP Core interface for a generic low-speed (1.5 Mbps) USB 2.0 device using FPGAs • Implemented automatic data retry, error recovery, and data toggle synchronization in the hardware and supported Suspend and Resume features From May 2003 to July 2003 (3 months)
