Master Thesis Project

As a Work Student, I was working on Automation and Testing of Mobile Network Communication using TTCN-3 – Creating and executing the Test Automation Frameworks and Test Automation suites. Worked on new traffic management features/enhancements. I was responsible for the design, implementation and delivery of the SIP - SDP protocol for the new RFC`s. Integrating Test suites into the Test Management System and did custom test harnesses using Vim Text editor in Linux (Ubuntu-OS).

Attended a 3-month training on "TTCN-3" organised by Telefonica GmbH:
 -Standardized, modular testing language specifically designed for testing which was created by leading experts from industry and academia at the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

Attended a Training on "NG-40 (Network Diagnostics) Network Topology" organised by ng4T GmbH:
 - Learnt the SIP/IMS test suite for LTE ready
 - Learnt NG40 features about LTE-Interfaces
 - Understanding of Deep Packet Inspection and Traffic Shaping with NG40
 - Simulation of the functionality of MME, SGSN and MSC for HLR / HSS verification using NG-40.
 - Generation of MAP messages for the communication from/to HLR and DIAMETER messages for the communication from/to HSS.

Tools handled : Test Automaton Tool - Pixip.net, Test Management System (TMS), ETS Creation Server/Repository Server, TTCN-3, Unix/Linux - Secure Shell Programming, Wireshark - Network Analyser, GITlab, Vim Editor

Working Student

Internship Topic: Design and Implementation of Session Initiation Protocols (SIP) using Testing and Test Control Notation version-3 (TTCN-3 - a standardized language of ETSI).

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol used to create, manage and terminate sessions in an IP based network. It is a standard (RFC 3261) put forward by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) which has its root way back to 1980’s. But at this moment, the job of SIP is limited to only the setup and control of sessions. The goal of the Internship is to implement the SIP Protocol using Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3) for Telefonica Automation Test System (TATS).

TTCN-3 is a test scripting language used in conformance testing of communicating systems and a specification of test infrastructure interfaces that glue abstract test scripts with concrete communication environments. TTCN-3 has been developed by ETSI. TTCN-3 has been used to deploy SIP systems. The task which I have been assigned to, is to build the SIP Modules (which has several important components that includes SIP_Module, SIP_Constraints, SIP_Teststeps, SIP_Testcases) along with the Session Description Protocol (SDP) module which makes the SIP-to-SIP interactions possible. TATS has the state of the art networking elements from Life Network, which is a Network Equipment Vendor (NEV) from whom Telefonica gets its Equipment presently. They use the finalized SIP module to have SIP-to-SIP interactions among its fixed network.

Tools used: TTCN-3, Linux Ubuntu, Test Automation Tool-Pixip.net, GITLAB, VI editor, Wireshark

Most brand collabs feel like ads pretending to be content. Let’s create collabsfferently.

I’ve been getting partnership requests from brands that want to reach founders and early-stage teams. If we collaborate, it won’t be a “promo for the sake of a promo.”

I prefer sharing real use-cases, practical value, and honest experiences that founders can apply.

I’d love to partner with products that genuinely support founders in their journey - whether it’s to learn, build, launch, or scale.

A few categories that fit well:
•⁠ ⁠SaaS that simplifies workflows
•⁠ ⁠AI tools that save time
•⁠ ⁠Productivity solutions that truly help
•⁠ ⁠Finance tools for early teams
•⁠ ⁠CRMs founders genuinely use

I’m exploring a handful of meaningful partnerships before end of this year. If your product actually solves a problem for founders or operators, I’m open to a conversation. 

Share your interest here: https://lnkd.in/d3-z7nW7

Let’s create collabs people remember, not scroll past.
