U-BLOX AG Mar 2017 - Dec 2024 Senior Staff Engineer Lahore, PAKISTAN • Developed an in-house document querying solution, based on RAG architecture along with chroma-DB for analyzing IPdocuments and generating formatted reports. • Created a pytest-based framework for unit testing and code coverage analysis of AT-terminal software, incorporating GUI functionality with pywinauto. • Designed and debugged embedded software on ARM Cortex M3/M7 microcontrollers, contributing to the development of a 4G LTE protocol stack and efficient memory management. • Configured and maintained static and dynamic analysis tools on both Windows and Linux platforms, ensuring code quality through Clang-Tidy, CppCheck, and Valgrind assessments. • Expanded static code analysis capabilities by developing a custom LLVM analysis pass and Clang diagnostic plugin to provide real-time compilation warnings. • Defined and monitored software quality metrics, including cyclomatic complexity and compiler warnings, to maintain high standards in embedded firmware development. • Integrated quality metrics into Jenkins pipelines and coordinated with cross-functional teams via JIRA to address issues promptly. • Managed software build configurations using CMake and Ninja, ensuring reliable nightly builds for comprehensive analysis and performance validation. • Conducted detailed code reviews and proposed refactoring strategies to optimize low-level embedded code performance. • Implemented FUZZER-based testing frameworks on CentOS7 for protocol stack components, reinforcing firmware reliability. • Developed a Python-based interpreter for translating TTCN test suites into functional scripts, enhancing firmware testing procedures. NESCOM Jan 2004 - May 2017 Senior Software Engineer Islamabad, PAKISTAN • Development of mission critical software on Motorola PowerPC MPC565 and TMS320C67xx for both embedded hardware and simulations as a part of full system integration. Tasks included development and implementation of communications protocol, specification and generation of telemetry and development of evaluation tools such as GUI, hardware drivers and telemetry display tools. The MPC565 is debugged using Lauterbach JTAG Debugger. The Embedded software was interfaced through VisualC++ and LabWindows applications using a Secure Synchronous Serial communication protocol. • Systems integration included Software-in-the-loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) development. Testing for Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis. Development of recovery mechanisms for software/floating point exceptions and shared resources access violations. Development of Device Drivers for external peripherals including serial UARTs and analog ADCs. Bootloaders for FLASH programming. • Ported Micrium ucOS-II RTOS on MPC565, implemented minimalist BSP. • Driver Development for serials UARTs, GPIOs, I2C based devices, PWMs. Device Driver Development for National Instruments (NI)-DAQ Digital I/O (PCI based) card and QUATECH Serial I/O (PCI based) cards on an Intel 586-Engine using Embedded Configurable OS (eCos) RTOS. • Design and development of an FPGA based Simulator Card external ADCs. The whole system runs at 16 MHz and is PCI compatible. Prototype system was built using PCI9052-RDK-Lite development board. The card interfaces with the real world using eCos RTOS running on an Intel-586 machine. • Design of measurement strategies for the detection of errors during execution of software tests (MIL/SIL). Testing through FaultIn- jection using deliberate corruption of data (by generating bit-flips, damaging Checksum/CRC/modBus) SKILLS SUMMARY • Embedded C, C++, MATLAB, Python, Pytest, Perforce, Git, JIRA, JENKINS, Docker-Containers, ARM Architecture, Web Devel- opment, Microcontrollers, Robotics, Automotive System, Embedded Software Development, Embedded, Compilers, Elastic Search, Software Testing, Full Stack Development, Machine Learning, LLMs, Natural Language Processing PUBLICATION(S) • Abdullah K.
