RELEVANT COURSEWORK Technical Courses: PCS/AWS System Implementation, Telecommunication Protocols, T elecommunication Networks, Optimization and Analysis of GSM Networks, Optical Fiber Communication, Advanced Wireless Communi cations, Wireless LAN, Cellular Network Infrastructure-Cel l Site Design and Components Business Courses: Telecommunication Marketing Management, Economics of Internati onal Telecommunications Decision Support Methods for Telecommunication Managers ACADEMIC PROJECTS Department of Telecommunications University of Maryland, College Park, MD Dec-2009 to May-2010 * Successfully planned stage wise deployment of mobile network in Washington, D. C area using RF planning tool MaxPlan. Analyzed the coverage and interference ca used by the deployment and inspected the microwave links to be relocated due to deployment using Poseidon tool. * Drive tested the T-mobile GSM network in and around College park Maryland usin g test software PROSCOUT. Observed the call setup and call handoff. Identified a reas of poor coverage and determined reasons for call failure, handoff failure a nd high bit error rates by examining the frequency plan and base station paramet ers like neighbor list. * Configured CISCO routers and switches using RIP, EIGRP and OSPF routing protoc ols in a simulated environment. Observed the performance of the three protocols with respect to routing of packets. * Tested the Wireless LAN network in University of Maryland using software Visiw ave and observed common interferences to WLAN performance like microwave ovens, Bluetooth and Ad hoc networks using software Channelizer Pro. * Gave a technical presentation on DAS-Distributed Antenna Systems. EXPERTISE/SKILL SET MS office Suite, MS streets and Trips, SQL programming, UNIX, PROSCOUT-RF drive testing software, XCAL-X drive testing software, WLAN testing soft ware- Visiwa ve and Channelizer Pro.

EXPERIENCE TeleworX LLC Jun-2010 to current Reston, Virginia RF test intern

* Accomplished field testing of Sprint Wimax network deployments in 11 markets i n Texas, Georgia, Washington, Utah and Missouri. * Tested Key performance Indictors -KPI's such as CINR, RSSI, RTT and throughput of Sprint Wimax network by using XCAL-X drive testing tool. * Performed stationary testing of U-301, U-250 and W-801 devices for Time Warner Cable Wimax network in Dallas market. * Conducted RF chamber testing of Sprint Wimax devices at Sprint labs. Tested fo r UDP, TCP and FTP throughput of these devices. Test carried out on Radio Access Network (RAN) of BTS vendor Huawei. * Successfully configured and tested Sprint Wimax devices for personal enterpris e network and public network by changing the NAP (Network Access Provider) ID an d realm in a simulated environment. * Developed and successfully implemented test procedures for Sprint Wimax devic es in simulated lab environment. * Performed services testing of Sprint devices to check for network entry involv ing authorization and authentication, Inter sector and Inter BTS handovers and r esolved performance issues relating to devices. Reliance Communications Aug-2008 to Jul-2009 Dhirubai Ambani Knowledge City Mumbai, India Performance Management Engineer-Switch (Network Operations Center) * Achieved the desired target for answer to seizure ratio (ASR) of 51% for local exchange (Ericsson AXE-10 switch) TDM routes for year 2007-2008. A better ASR m eant more successfully answered calls which earned more revenue for the firm. * Analyzed the call data reports (CDR), monitored status of the AXE-10 switches and took SS7 call traces by remotely logging into the switches from the network operations center (NOC) location. * Developed monthly metric reports for measuring parameters like ASR-Answer to S eizure Ratio, Answer to Bid Ratio (ABR), Grade of Service (GoS). Report became t he assessment template used by management and engineers on varying projects to a ssess the performance of the network. * Resolved issues such as change of routing, diverting voice traffic from one operator to another , call failure and call quality over reliance VoIP network b y remotely logging into the media gateway controllers (Lucent-soft switches) usi ng network management software, PLEXVIEW. * Examined the routing and studied the call data reports of media gateway contro llers. Analysis was formally submitted to the business team to mitigate call tra ffic and revenue related issues with operators whose voice traffic was being rou ted through reliance VoIP network. Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) May-2006 to May-2007 Anushaktinagar Mumbai India Project Intern-Lead designer

Design of 10/100 mbps VME bus based Ethernet board as a part of final year proje ct * Designed the Ethernet board using ORCAD software. The board was based on VME b us and had 10/100 mbps data transfer rate. Design was based on the latest specif ications currently used in industry. * Lead designer of the team and entrusted with submitting weekly progress repor ts to the project director. * Led a 4-person team of engineering students and ensured that the design was co mpleted within the time frame and that the development stayed on track throughou t the project lifecycle. University Of Maryland OMSE-Office of Multi-ethnic Student education Mar-2010 to Sep-2010 Tutor-Math * Aided students in general math-algebra, trigonometry and calculus; Learned to tackle student's issues and helped them understand course concepts. Monitored s tudent progress throughout the duration of the semester. TECHNICAL TRAINING Reliance GET Induction Training Au g-2008 * Switching, SS7 signaling, Transport wireless technologies-GSM and CDMA and ove rview of Reliance network.
