Hi,
I have desire to contribute in GSOC 2012 open source development. I go through
the GSOC 2012 projects details and it sounds to me an interesting project. I am
interested in the following project:
? Weighting Schemes
I have relevant experience as an open source C++ developer at Google. Inc USA,
Warid Telecom UAE & Buraq Integrated Solutions (Australian based company).
Firstly, I would like to introduce myself. I had completed four years Bachelors
in Information and Communication System Engineering from a prestigious
university, National University of Sciences and Technology. During my
undergraduate studies I studied programming languages like C, C++, Visual C, C#,
ASP .Net and MATLAB. I had done various projects in all the above programming
languages as part of my undergraduate studies. In dissertation, I designed and
developed ?Automatic Frequency Planning (AFP) Tool? in collaboration with world
leading Telecommunication Operator, WARID Telecom (Pvt) Limited, Abu Dhabi &
Singapore Alliance. Based on that practical experience, I also passed CDMA and
GSM Certification Examination with highest grades.
In 2007, I was selected as an intern at MOBILINK Telecom (PMCL) Group of
Multinational Orascom Telecom to work in the Network Switching Subsystem (NSS)
department. In 2008, I was selected to take part on an extensive training on
Wireless Channel Modeling and Simulation that was organized by NUST in
collaboration with University of Surrey UK. In 2010, I worked as a System
Integrator at BURAQ Integrated Solutions (Australian based company).
In 2011, I worked as an Open source Google contractor for the development of
Drizzle database, which is a fork of MySQL that is optimised for Cloud, based
applications. I designed and implemented the IP Address (IPv4 & IPv6) Data
Type as a Native Data Type for Drizzle. The code and the test suite that I
implemented for Google/Drizzle can be seen at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~mumair/drizzle/drizzle-IPV6/+merge/71700
Since 2010, I am pursing postgraduate degree in Wireless Systems (2 years) at
Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. The master course comprises
wireless system modules including communications theory, signal processing,
radio communication and communication networks.
I have knowledge and experience of software development, open source
development, networking (TCP/IP stack) and wireless systems. I am fluent in
C/C++, Android development, C#, MATLAB and Linux. I am very adaptable and
capable to work on projects with minimal available documentation & work with
remote teams (open source experience at Google). I am very confident that I will
be a valuable asset through my strong technical skills, teamwork, adaptability,
effective communication, self-motivation, desire to succeed and creative problem
solving thinking.
Please find the attached resume and Google letter.
Looking forward for your support.
Regards,
Umair Muhammad
Electrical Engineering Master Student,
Specialization in Wireless Systems,
