PROJECTS
Senior Design Project: Created a peer-to-peer file-sharing network with a team using the Chord protocol,
which allows messages to get passed from one host to another in O(log2(n)) time, where n is the number of
nodes in the network. Also implemented a keyword search mechanism, RSA authentication, distributed
downloading, and a graphical user interface. Required extensive multi-threading, the use of Tortoise SVN, and
the ability to develop an application in a team.
Computer Animation Project: Created a project in OpenGL which loaded a skeleton of a human figure from a
file to display an animated scene with multiple such figures where they walked around interacting with objects.
Fractal Viewer: In my free time, created a GUI which displays a view of the Mandelbrot set fractal and allows
the user to zoom in, change the coloring scheme, revert to a previous zoom position, and save the image as a
png file.
