Testimonials

My name is Surya Vamsi and I have worked as an intern in the eSim project of FOSSEE in the year 2018. I had worked on the translation of the PSpice to KiCad parser from C++ to Python and also contributed to the Windows Installer of the eSim software. It was a great opportunity to work at FOSSEE as it really helped me get some hands-on Open-Source contribution. The mentors were so helpful throughout the internship tenure. This experience encouraged me in continuing my contributions to Open-Source Softwares. I would recommend FOSSEE to everyone who is interested in Open-Source software development.

Intern 2018

My internship at FOSSEE was a great learning experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. My tasks included fixing open issues in Kicad for eSim, and addressing open issues in eSim's core functionality as well. Not only did the experience let me apply my knowledge in programming and beyond, but it also gave me deep insights into how electronic circuitry is designed and reproduced. The close mentoring and assistance from Prof. Kannan and the eSim team was also a critical highlight of my experience. Most importantly, the internship provided me the valuable experience of working on an in-production software. This experience was vital in getting my very first job. Currently placed in Zauba Technologies as Software Development Engineer

eSim has helped me in a lot of ways, both in technical aspects as well as management aspects. Surrounding the technical aspects, it helped me sharpen my python programming skills and learn a lot many supporting skills required for programming, such as using useful shell commands like - awk, find, and also using VCS systems efficiently with commands like git cherrypick, Sunil sir provided good guidance in this aspect. On the management aspect, since it was my first internship outside of home, living by myself, I needed to organise my time and resources so as to meet the deadlines set by the mentors which aligned well with the development work in motion. All in all, it helped me mould myself into someone with better programming and management skills, which led me to being placed as a Software Development Engineer at Accolite, which is a service based company providing services, to some of the biggest financial names in the world - Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, among others. I am very thankful to the eSim team to help me shape myself as the person I am today.

My name is Anjali Jaiswal, I am studying Computer Science And Engineering from NIT Durgapur, I had got the opportunity to work on eSim as an internee in summers. Working on eSim was really interesting and I learned a lot working on it. Experience gained working on eSim helped me in my interviews for placements either on-campus or off-campus. I secured placement through campus for the role of Advanced Application Engineering Analyst at Accenture. The best part was mentors and managers were really helpful and understanding. It was indeed the best opportunity so far. Thank you.

It had been useful for implementing what we have studied in our courses. It was very handy and simple to proceed !! Please add more simulation and modelling features with which it can become a very popular and useful engineering tool.
