ACADEMIC PROJECTS
HEAP ALLOCATOR
PINTOS OPERATING SYSTEM
Implemented a heap allocator using direct manipulation of the memory with malloc, realloc, and free functions in C. Improved memory utilization and throughput by refining data structures and algorithms for memory block placement, splitting, and coalescing.
Extended the functionality of the PINTOS Operating System. Implemented priority scheduling and priority donation for the thread system. Designed a complete system call API to run user processes with synchronization primitives. Extended the virtual memory system and the file system .
MAP REDUCE
HTTP Web Proxy
Implemented a multithreaded HTTP proxy and cache complete with blacklisting capabilities and proxy chaining.
Used multiprocessing, networking, concurrency and distributed computing to build a fully operational MapReduce framework.

UBER SHARE
Created an iOS app using Uber's API that allows that allows for Uber ride shares in areas where UberPool is illegal. (Unfortunately, UberPool is now legal in most places, making the app somewhat irrelevant.)
Design a Unity-based game using EA's API where a user can advance through the levels by completing cardio exercises. The game tracks a player's heart rate via an Apple Watch.
