-- Exceutive Engineer: Worked for six years in the R&D wing of Indian Telephone Industries (Bangalore, India) on the development of hardware and software for microprocessor based digital telephone switches. Some of these works have been presented at international conferences and published in a magazine (by McGraw Hill). The projects undertaken during this period include the following:

                   

                                       * Design and development of general purpose CPU boards and memory boards for microprocessors.

 

                                       * Design of a bus standard and a standard bus interface for microprocessors (in collaboration with colleagues).

 

* Design and development of hardware for a microprocessor based space switch used in a digital telephone exchange.

 

                                       * Design and development of firmware for peripheral controllers for microprocessor based systems.                                                                          

 

* Design and development of protocol software for a network of microprocessors in a telephone switch (in collaboration with colleagues).

 

                                       * Design and development of an Operating Systems Kernel for a digital PABX.
