Eric Vinod

• Developed scalable and maintainable code, ensuring long-term stability of the software.
• Re-Structured the Configuration Schema with offsets against pointers to enable access/store configuration objects on 32/64 and hybrid platforms
• This effort helped RPD Daemon to move to 64-bit model seamlessly
• Implemented a SafeCLI mechanism to alert/prevent users from accidentally invoking harmful and hidden commands on the CLI prompt
• Integrated new technologies into existing systems, increasing capabilities and improving overall performance.
• Developed reusable components that significantly reduced development effort on multiple projects.
• Implemented effective debugging strategies, resulting in fewer software defects and increased reliability.
• Analyzed proposed technical solutions based on customer requirements.
• Delivered unit-tested systems within customer-prescribed timeframes.
• Optimized algorithms for faster processing, reducing overall computation time.
• Collaborated with management, internal and development partners regarding software application design status and project progress.
• Refactored legacy codebases for improved maintainability, paving the way for easier future updates.
• Reduced system downtime by proactively addressing potential issues through regular maintenance activities.
• Participated in agile development processes, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
• Designed data models and database schemas to support complex data storage and retrieval requirements, ensuring data integrity and accessibility.
• Worked with cross functional teams to enable GCOV on the entire JUNOS Code Base
• Defined the process and tools that needs to be in place to enable coverage for the code
• This process helped the Development and Test Team to be sure of how much code they have covered with Unit/System Test
• Re-designed the Unit Test Suite to use a static schema to prevent false failures/noise from being reported
• This resulted in a drastic reduction in the effort of maintaining the Test Suite
• With this change there was NO need for the Test Suite to be run on a new branch and noises to be fixed
• After this change the Unit Test Suite could be run on any branch without worrying about false failure/noises
• Sustenance of MGD: Responsibilities included Debugging, Root cause and Fix of MGD/CLI core dumps, Handling Customer Escalations and Interactions, Triaging of incoming Bug Requests.

Served as a key point of contact between developers, stakeholders, and end-users throughout project lifecycles.

• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions on schedule.
• Achieved 12s boot time on QW, using read-ahead, parallelizing apps/daemon startup, reducing unwanted delays in drivers
• Added Hibernation Support to QW with “tuxonice” patch
• Added “Hibernate” to the start menu, and DBUS controls to the PMFSM daemon for initiating hibernation
• Integrated vendor driver source in the QW kernel, ensure successful compile, functional test, package and distribution
• Back-ported latest kernel drivers to the QW kernel ensure successful compile, functional test, package and distribution
• Fixed auto un-mount issues with SD card on certain platforms by adding a custom UDEV rule
• Investigated and root-caused platform issues with Hotkeys, ACPI event generation, Power Management.
• Optimized existing codebase, resulting in improved performance and reduced resource consumption.
• Integrated third-party APIs to expand software capabilities and offer additional value to users.
• Reduced software defects by implementing thorough testing procedures and quality assurance practices.
• Conducted code reviews, ensuring adherence to coding standards and promoting maintainability of the codebase.

• Investigated and root caused a double fault issue on MPRAS
• An unsupported third party driver when enabled on MPRAS was causing a double fault
• Prototyped de-duplication functionality on Linux EXT2, by assigning a CRC for each data block, and comparing against the CRC database when data is created and (or) modified
• Enabled USB Mass Storage support on MPRAS
• Race condition in the VFS mount code fixed by an earlier bug introduced a system hang in the snapshot feature of VxFS
• Online verify of a mirrored MPRAS vdisk when multiple applications were writing to the vdisk in parallel
• Investigated and root caused a race condition between mutex lock/unlock, that caused a system hang
• Implemented a tool to proactively scan SCSI disks for bad blocks, to notify the onsite engineer of a potential failure of a disk, which could be replaced before it fails.
• Mentored junior developers through regular 1-on-1 meetings, providing guidance on best practices, coding standards, and career growth opportunities.
• Coordinated with cross-department teams like QA, DevOps, and Support to ensure seamless end-to-end software delivery process.
• Maintained close communication with clients throughout project life cycles for accurate progress reporting and prompt issue resolution.
• Led a team of developers to successfully deliver high-quality software projects on time and within budget constraints.

• Embedded System Programming on 80C51 microcontrollers.
• Developed scalable and maintainable code, ensuring long-term stability of the software.
