Work Experience

Software Engineer (Act. T.D) - Acta. T.D at Altair (as stated in experience timeline)
January 1, 2026 - Present
Backend and automation responsibilities continuing in Linux environments for telecom/router management and data processing workflows. Modified server-side Python scripts to support ACS device management workflows including model-specific WLAN configuration based on CPE capabilities and available parameters. Maintained backend scripts for AXTR Act data collection, event processing, ETL, and scheduled export workflows backed by MongoDB. Focused on production troubleshooting, pipeline reliability, and deployment support using Linux tooling and configuration management, with log analysis and system-level investigation.
Software Engineer (Actal.T.D.) at Actal.T.D
January 1, 2025 - August 26, 2026
Worked on backend and data processing systems supporting ACS and AXTRACT platforms used for router devices management and data processing in Linux environments. Modified server-side Python scripts supporting ACS device-management workflows with model-specific WLAN configuration based on CPE capabilities and available parameters. Maintained backend scripts and configurations for AXTRACT data collection, event processing, ETL, and scheduled export workflows backed by MongoDB. Troubleshot production data-processing pipelines across application services, MongoDB, scheduled jobs, and storage using logs and system analysis to identify failures and locate bottlenecks. Supported staging and production deployments and performed Linux system configuration using Ansible, Apache/HTTPS, Git, and chroot environments.
Software Developer / Software Engineer (Altair) at Altair
April 1, 2024 - January 1, 2025
Worked on MotionView/desk-top CAE application (multibody dynamics). Contributed to Python automation, testing, and software quality by developing automation scripts and tooling via MotionView Python APIs. Supported Pytest-based testing workflows, investigated software defects, and used Git/Jira for version-controlled development and release processes. Also supported EDA/verification tooling around RTL simulation and silicon debugging, including Tcl automation scripts and integration with EDA/silicon-debug tools. Configured WSL/Linux environments using Bash and Podman containers to enable reproducible multi-tool simulation and analysis workflows, and gained exposure to Verilog/UVM verification flows.
