I have worked with Pratik for several months focusing on developing operators for our rigging tool's directed acyclic graph. During that time I found him to be very responsive during code reviews, careful with his unittest coverage, and persistent when he encountered an especially ornery operator. He never complained about a last minute spec change, and generally was a good fellow to work with.

      Worked on development and enhancement of internal testing framework. Framework was being used to write test suites for graphics and camera drivers for Qualcomm mobile SoCs. The framework also handled scheduling and execution of tests over distributed system, collection of results and report generation.Automated most of the routine workflows of server, db and device management. Optimized DB queries to perform up-to 300% faster and speedup multiple workflows by at-least 50%. Making the overall turn around time to drastically come down, resulting in faster test runs. The system used to handle approximately 1 Million tests per day.* Received QualStar award for exceptional performance and innovative initiatives.Tech.: Java, Perl, Perforce

      Technology: C++, OpenGL, Git, Accurev, SconsWorking on next generation proprietary Animation (Premo, Luna) and Rigging (Rig) tools for:► Developed operators (low level evaluation graph nodes) used for building character rigs in rigging software. These operators perform calculations like joint hierarchy flipping, deformer vertex weights calculations and blending. These calculations are performed in parallel at graph node level and hence provide results in real time.► Enhancement of features like Drawing system, Animation curve editor and Camera. These modules use multi-threaded processing for real-time response.► Supported animators and technical directors at Bangalore studio by resolving issues affecting shows in production.Movie credits:Kung Fu Panda 3Trolls,Boss Baby
