ANUPAM KAUL    
            
EXPERIENCE â?“ 6 YEARS, OS AND EMBEDDED SOFTWARE DESIGN
I develop Operating Systems for Smart Cards, in particular systems for 3G/2G mobile phone based UICC (SIM) cards, and co-design components like the Java Virtual Machine (v2.2) for Smart Cards (SIM/USIM 3G cards). 

This is backed by three years in Simulator Design and Virtual Machine development for RISC Processors, modeling and verification of Chip Core architectures, and benchmarking of new RISC processor ISA families. 

My domain is Embedded Systems Software Development. Currently developing a Secure-OS for mobile-phone cards for clients like NTT and Vodafone, I have also designed cycle-accurate and functional models for RISC processors in C/C++, created random test pattern generator tools in PERL, and simulated and designed IO peripherals for the same System on Chip, in Verilog.

I have working knowledge of Smart Card Operating Systems, of chip/SOC architectures like the Hitachi SH series, the Infineon SLE series, the ARM series, their design structures, and their interfaces with Operating Systems. I also have experience of general tool development in C/PERL/Lex -Yacc

Profile description: Worked at the US Texas based Schlumberger Axaltoâ?™s central R&D headquarters in Paris (France) from June 2004 to Present. My job involved baseline OS development, code optimizations for memory/performance, implementing secure algorithms, implementing on-card Java Virtual Machine, product customizations for different clients, and porting on different chip architectures.

Project 1: Product development for Vodafone Group (GUSIM 2008),

Architect for product development (GUSIM 2008) for Vodafone Group, from Schlumberger Systems. Involved in defining and implementing the specifications and architecture of a Vodafone Mobile TV based product called GUSIM 2008, based on standards like MBMS and GBL. Used the baseline OS which I developed for Axalto, beginning June 2004 in France.





Project 2: Native OS development for NTT DoCoMo Product (Japan, FOMA), on an Infineon SLE884000cfxp chip.

Client: NTT DoCoMo (Japan), the 3G/2G FOMA series of mobile UICC cards.

Project Details: Worked in a team of 3, to release a product specific to DoCoMoâ?™s requirements. Specifications included development of standard Java Virtual Machine (compliant to JCVM specs 2.2), Over the Air Protocol (TS 102 223, 23.040, 23.048), and adding NTT specific APDU implementations. Additionally, implemented secure algorithms like the Elliptic Curve Cryptographic algorithm, the Milenage algorithm (French), standard RSA support etc. Adapted memory management to new type of card (Romless, Flash)

Product has been successfully launched and accepted in the Japanese market. Migrated the product for SKT, Korea with proprietary requirements.

Upgrading product by porting previous products on Atmel chip derivatives (256K ROM, 72K EEPROM)

Project 3:  Native OS development for credit/debit cards for French banks. Certified by MasterCard for EMV. High security components (DDA/RSA) implemented on this OS.

Project Location: Beijing, China.

Developed a proprietary OS targeted by Schlumberger for a prototype card to secure MasterCardâ?™s certification.
The product helps in EMV migration of major European merchant banks, starting 2004. 

Role involved Native OS development for EMV, interaction with MasterCard in France, clearing project bottlenecks related to the specification and design, related to the security certification, and memory constraints on the card. Product was successfully implemented and accepted.

Project 4: Native OS development for Smart Card Transport Applications Card for India. (SCOSTA). 
Client: Ministry of Transport (Govt. of India), in collaboration with Indian universities like IIT Delhi/Kanpur.
Tools: C, Chip environment (emulators etc), proprietary smart card tools of Schlumberger.
Role: Working in a team of 4 to design and develop a Smart-Card OS on 4K/8K EEPROM smart cards, compliant to the ISO 7816 smart card specifications. 

My role involved the OS development in Beijing, following this up by porting the OS to different processors (Hitachi, Atmel and Samsung). A parallel aim was to drive this product for the Indian Market, by building communication between Beijing and India, and being involved in specification design with the marketing in India.


HCL TECHNOLOGIES LTD. (FROM JANâ?™2000 â?“ APRâ?™2003)
Worked as Member Technical Staff and Team Leader, Microprocessor Software Design group.

Project 5: SH-5 Processor Verification (30 months)
Project Location: US (San Jose, California) and India (New Delhi)

This project involved SH-5 RISC processor core development, simulator design and SOC verification at Instructional, functional, architecture and implementation level, for different processor modules of SH-5 during its design phase, along with software development as suitable for chip architecture verification.

The project started from CPU Core development, and extended to development of all IO peripherals of the SOC, like the DMA, Interrupt Controller, Clock, Power and Reset Controller, PCI Interface etc.
