- Defined, designed, and built  a cross organizational execution team of 9 engineers (6 Developers, 2 UI and 1 Systems Engineer) to develop Search as a Service (SaaS) Client Chargeback product. This enables product teams across Google to view their current capacity approvals and projected growth, thus providing a single authoritative source for OPEX, launch decisions, and scaling their distributed systems.

- Took un-forecasted SVP-driven demand from undeliverable state to fully launched and planned state. In a tight schedule of 2 months, resource managed Google’s “myactivity” launch which now indexes 20 trillion documents and has global impact on Google’s privacy and ads content. 

- Established a sound framework for forecasting and enabled utilization measurement, resulting in ~25% utilization improvement, with ~$9M in annualized cost savings between Aug’15-Feb’16. This framework enabled the teams to deliver many launches and projects on time with resource planning as one less problem to manage.

Worldwide Inter-operability for Microwave Access or WiMax is a rapidly growing wireless technology  responsible for  providing broadband services costing several times lesser than its counterparts such as DSL, Co-axial cable & GSM. As this technology sees deployment into new markets across the globe, securing the  WiMax network is  increasingly gaining importance for  the service providers. One of the  main security considerations  that the latest standard defined for WiMax fails to address is the physical layer threat of jamming, which holds the potential to totally cripple the network and cause loss of service and revenue. Our paper analyzes the impact of  jamming a WiMax  Radio Frequency (RF) signal on the performance parameters  of the network  by using simulation techniques  and  assesses the risk that jamming poses to the services provided by the WiMax network.  Additionally, we  suggest theoretical counter measures  and  then calculate the cost of implementing them. From our analysis and gathered data, we have come to the conclusion that the assessed risk justifies the service provider to implement the countermeasures in its WiMax network.

ZigBee alliance, creator of ZigBee says that, “ZigBee was created to address the market need for a cost-effective, standards-based wireless networking solution that supports low data-rates, low-power consumption, security, and reliability. ZigBee is the standard-based 
technology that is developed to address the unique needs of most remote monitoring and 
control and sensory network applications”. However, with the advent of the many more 
new  technologies  like  Z-wave,  the  question  arises  “What  is  the  future  of  the  ZigBee 
products?”
