About

Akshay Surana is a skilled Software Engineer with over 2.69 years of experience in the field. Currently working at Samsung Electronics, Akshay has a strong background in Java, C, Mobile, and Frontend development. He has also worked as a Research Scientist, gaining experience in Neural Networks and testing. Akshay obtained his Bachelor of Technology degree in Electrical Engineering Technologies/Technicians from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He also holds a +2 degree in Mathematics from Vivakanadha Public School. During his time at IIT Kharagpur, Akshay gained valuable experience in Research Project and Training roles. In his Research Project role, he designed a battery charger that operated at a frequency of 50MHz, developed gate drive and dead band circuits for power stage, and implemented different control algorithms such as Proportional (P), Proportional-Integral (PI), and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) for controller design. In his Training role, he learned various Verilog language features, behavioral and structural representation, procedural blocks, blocking and non-blocking assignments, combinational and sequential circuits modeling, test-benches, and performed their design synthesis on Xilinx software. He also modeled Finite State Machines, Memories, Register Banks, Switches, and Basic Pipelined Processor (MIPS32) with the help of Verilog HDL. Akshay's experience also includes Analog VLSI System Design, where he designed a two-stage Front-End Amplifier using capacitive differential feedback, active common mode feedback, circuitry for dynamic offset cancellation, and resistance feedback for DC-biasing using a sub-threshold transistor and tested with LTSpice software. He also performed various tasks on motor imagery EEG data set such as signal processing, data windowing, feature extraction (Both time and frequency domain), feature vector generation, artifact removal for neural network training, and achieved a classification accuracy of more than 95% with minimum processing power utilizing the idea of approximate computing. Overall, Akshay Surana is a talented Software Engineer with a strong educational background and diverse experience in various roles.
