Other skills

Research Assistant (2004 2005), Institute of Software Integrated Systems (ISIS) at Vanderbilt University:

Recent

member of the Distributed Object Computing (DOC) group under the leadership of Dr. Douglas Schmidt.

Experience

Research and development of distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) infrastructure middleware and

applications.

Application of Model-Driven Development techniques to manage accidental complexities associated

with large-scale software and to aid the rapid and error-free software development and configuration.

Developed RepoMan a Component Repository Manager for Enterprise DRE Systems, part of the

CIAO distribution. RepoMan is a CORBA object that is HTTP aware. It keeps track of software

implementations and configuration metadata in heterogeneous environments. It enables the

(re)deployment and (re)configuration of applications and facilitates online component upgrades.

Developed a Quality of Service Policy Modeling Language (QoSPML), which is an MDD tool that

allows developers to configure CORBA components to exhibit real-time quality of service

characteristics. Integrated QoSPML in the Component Synthesis with Model Integrated Computing

(CoSMIC) MDD toolchain.

Extended the JAWS HTTP web server, which is part of the ADAPTIVE Communication Environment

(ACE) distribution.

Added HTTP capabilities to the CIAO Deployment and Configuration Engine (DAnCE), to enable it to

fetch and deploy remote component implementations

Contributed to the design of the CIAO packaging tools

Working on the Planner in CIAO which looks up component packages, checks their requirements

against the currently available resources and comes up with a deployment plan to deploy the application

Summer 2005 Automated Trading Desk (ATDesk). Software Engineering Intern on the BORG infrastructure team

Designed and implemented a high-performance stock market activity logging application which was

responsible for gathering real-time quote and trade stock market information and storing it in a database.

I used ACE, TAO, and some proprietary software technology for the project. The database backend was

PostgreSQL.

Developed code generators that parse the C++ code from the above application, generate unit tests and

run them.

Developed a framework of object-oriented Perl classes which allowed the easy extraction of information

from the quote and trade database and the order databases. It allowed the easy querying and verification

of order executions.

Developed a Perl script which queried the order databases for certain orders and emailed a summary to

the help desk.

2004 2005 Teaching Assistant Vanderbilt University: Software Design Studio; Middleware QoS; Network

Analysis/Simulation

Summer 2003 Anderson Research Program Denison University

Received a scholarship for a research project entitled Content Addressable Storage (CAS) Providers and

Clients the focus of which was extending the reach of CAS technology by exporting it on the Internet by

means of scalable technology.

Designed and implemented a CAS over HTTP communication protocol, a CAS provider implemented as

an Apache server module, a stand-alone multi-processed CAS server, and a CAS client. The project was

part of a series of projects involving multiple parties aiming at the realization of the CAS system model

Summer 2002 Anderson Research Program Denison University

Received a scholarship for a research project entitled Topological Logics, in which our two-member

team invented a number of logical systems built on top of topological structures

Other Team projects in Computer Networks: TFTP server and HTTP Web proxy compliant with their

Selected respective RFC specifications and featuring multi-processing capabilities

Projects Part of a three-member team to work on implementing an operating system (NACHOS), using concepts

in multi-threading, multitasking, synchronization, virtual memory and file management

Implemented a Floating-point math library for the MIPS architecture, written in MIPS assembly.
