  I joined BlackBerry at the beginning on BB10 development and was immediately placed into a crucial role developing SMS and CBS at the Cellular Service layer. During this period, I became an expert in SMS and helped BB10 achieve technical acceptance.Following that, I assigned and complete the first successful VoLTE demo to the VP of Radio. This required close collaboration with several teams to accomplish this special project.The successful demo led to being the only developer for the Roving Manager (controls how IMS connects to a network) and IMS Interface (for cellular services) for the T-Mobile Wifi Calling project. I was responsible for their completion and success, and this led me to achieving highest performance review, and a promotion.My current project was extending Roving Manager to handle VoLTE requirements and ePDG. I was collaborating closely with another developer and drove the required changes across the system to accomplish the new requirements.Roving Manager on BB10 - Designed and implemented project that controls how IMS registers on a network written in C - Adapted the project to fulfill requirements for T-Mobile Wifi Calling, VoLTE and ePDG - Collaborated to design interfaces to IMS, VPN, Cellular Data, Phone, and Wifi - Triaged, diagnosed, discussed and resolved issues across entire system - Maintained simulator to exercise all features to verify new development and prevent regressionsInterface between Cellular Services and IMS on BB10 - Designed and implemented project that manages IPC to the IMS process written in C - Interface for cellular services (Phone, SMS, STK) to communicate with IMS process - Implemented SMS stack to handle RL and TL layers of SMS for IMSCellular Services on BB10 - Implemented SMS and CBS layers in Cellular Services project written in C - Triaged and collaborated on all issues related SMS and CBS - Resolved all process crashes in Cellular Services - Implemented seamless handling of modem resets
