WORK EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant
University of Minnesota (Dept of Computer Science & Engg), Twin Cities MN
Place: Software Engineering Lab
Project: Test framework for object oriented systems testing
Description: Development of a test framework (CASE tool) for automating the 
generation of test scripts and providing a generic template for test 
engineers to carry out object oriented system testing suited to a particular 
domain.

Project: Behavioral model for GUI based system testing
Description: Developed a model called SNet (a short form for Screen Net) 
which is used to describe the behavior of the GUI, in terms of navigation 
between the screens The aim is to automatically generate test cases to test 
GUI navigation between the screens which is considered as the top level 
container in SNet.

Software Engineer
Honeywell Software Operation, India
(Home and Building Control division)
(05/98 - 08/98)
Project: RTOS for Human Interface Panel
Desciption: Design and implementation of a RTOS for an embedded device 
called "Human Interface Panel" (HIP) that is designed to operate as a 
man-machine interface for a HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning) 
system in a small building.

Honeywell Software Operation, India
(Home and Building Control division)
(09/98 - 01/99)
Project:  Digital Display wall unit module for a small building system
Description: Enhanced the functionality of a digital display wall unit 
module (DDWM) to enable the device to function as a monitoring node on a 
network of controllers. The device enables the user to set controller 
parameters such as humidity, temperature, gas concentration etc. New display 
functionality was added and the device was made capable of handling 
scheduling which in turn provides an automatic way to schedule the 
activities of controllers such as CVAHU (constant volume air handling unit), 
UV (Unit ventilator), SBC (small building controller).
