• Lead branch management for development and release branches, resolving merge conflicts, committing changes, and preparing debug builds for field-returned hardware.
• Conducted sanity checks and build acceptance tests to validate software releases, ensuring functionality and quality.
• Prepared detailed release notes, documenting integrated tickets, defect fixes, and known issues, and communicated them to stakeholders.
• Automated defect tracking and continuous integration processes using Python and Bash scripting, enhancing build optimization and deployment workflows.
• Planned and implemented new product additions, adapting build systems to accommodate evolving project requirements.
• Managed build failures, performed root cause analysis, and collaborated with teams to implement solutions, minimizing downtime and delays.

Achievements:

• Successfully delivered telematics software releases on time, meeting rigorous quality and cybersecurity requirements for automotive applications.
• Accelerated delivery timelines by optimizing CI/CD pipelines with parallel build execution, supporting multiple product lines.
• Strengthened system security by implementing firmware signing, secure boot, and ECU debugging, ensuring compliance with ISO SAE 21434 and UNECE standards.
• Enhanced vendor collaboration with Qualcomm, Quectel, WNC streamlining chipset integration and improving telematics module performance.
• Improved stakeholder engagement through comprehensive release notes and transparent project tracking, fostering trust and alignment.

Infotainment is an Integral part in Automotive Industry. We are responsible for end to end software development for infotainment HEAD UNITS. Build & Release management is a crucial team for timely delivery and deployment of Infotainment software projects. Here we are using Yocto Build system with Bitbake for making Infotainment software for Linux based ECUs. Jenkins is used for continuous integration, workflow and delivery. Jira is used for workflow and management. Code delivery process and complete software development life cycle along with different releases for customers and stake holders is also handled. Also supporting domain integration for a particular team and updating recipes in meta-layers. Responsible for Software Logistic integrations on request.

• Creation of software builds and prepare for software releases
• Support Integration activities, from Domains and maintain builds and release and manage build failures.
• Collaboration with software development team daily with Change Control Board meeting for integrating their components.
• Improve and maintain build automation for continuous integration using Jenkins, with supportive scripts.
• Analyze build failures and inform team for solution and handle Merge conflicts and trivial changes and upload commits.
• Analyze frequent build failures of each domains and categorize according to issue type to improve on irregular failures and automate to show the results.
• Test each script in Jenkins build engine by mimicking actual scenarios before rolling out of new features in build flow.
• Support Domain Integration for HMI team also, by taking their changes and creating binaries and preparing recipes in meta-layers for Yocto main build.

Marlin DRM SDK is ported to various Android platforms to use for Sony Mobile Online services. Android platform provides an extensible DRM Framework that lets applications manage rights-protected content according to the license constraints that are associated with the content. DRM (Nautilus) Client SDK along with DRM framework is responsible for registering a user or device and transaction between a device and a DRM server. Manage the license and rights and capable to play in the mobile device.

• Test and Integrate the DRM related source code to main software for release
• Testing includes flashing software (ROM), Enable/Disable Marlin on device and other sanity tests like playing contents, downloading content, updating keys and DRM related tests.
• Implemented the Software switch for ARK/ ATK test keys for Production phone and Test phone and implemented the API to find whether test phone or production phone.
• Added dynamic debug log switch in DRM client SDK for different variants of software.
• Do DRM Framework testing and Trust Zone related testing for secure clock or key library related changes.
