Projects
Explore a selection of my academic and professional projects.
XRFlux: A VR/AR Benchamarking Tool
A benchmarking tool for XR applications, providing performance metrics and visualizations.
View Project →LEGOStore: A Distributed Storage Dystem Using Erasure Coding
Aim of this system is to provide the infra-structure for implementing easure coding based protocols for different consistencies in distributed systems. This is a wrapper around mcrouter library for supporting erasure coding using memcached as cache and mysql as backend.
View Project →Online Simulated Annealing (OSA) for Managing Cloud Resources
A cloud resource management system that uses simulated annealing to optimize resource allocation in real-time.
View Project →MCD-OS: A Modified Memcached Acomedating Virtual Caches for Apportioned Objects
MCD-OS (MemCacheD with Object Sharing) is an in-memory key-value store with object sharing accountability across proxies.
View Project →Neural-Agent Dogfighting Flight Simulator
Using deep-learning and competitive algorithms, we can observe emergent behavior between two agent-based airplanes as they fight for survival against each other.
