Über mich
Experienced software engineer with a strong background in Embedded software, networking and telecommunications, specializing in 5G NR PHYC signal testing and implementation, closely aligned with 3GPP standards. I have successfully migrated critical channels like PDSCH, PDCCH, and PBCH from legacy frameworks to the GTest Framework, emphasizing code quality through comprehensive test cases and code coverage. My expertise extends to troubleshooting Layer 3 issues (MAC, RLC, PDCP), resolving legacy LTE test framework challenges, and in-depth knowledge of 3GPP 5G NR Specifications. I am well-versed in Agile development methodologies, utilizing JIRA for efficient project management. With a proven track record in eNB/gNB feature validation and extensive experience in 5G NR Physical downlink channels, I am poised to excel in modem development and contribute significantly to cutting-edge telecommunications projects.
