Seeking software engineering internship/Full Time position in a challenging organization to gain valuable professional experience while utilizing Python, C/C++ and other technical skills learned during Master of Science program. RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Master’s Thesis, Advanced Communication Networks Laboratory (ACNL), UMass Lowell, Apr 2017-May 2018

● Master thesis entitled ‘Implementing Many-to-Many Survivability in Software Defined Networks’.

● Built an application that orchestrates identification of edge failures and updates flow entries on Open vSwitch.

● Processed the routes requested from a Many-to-Many algorithm that pre-computes failure aware solutions.

● Processed the network topology information in required data structures and utilized them in populating OpenFlow tables.

● Utilized an event-driven programming approach and a component-based SDN controller framework.

● Validated the functionality by automated testing by randomly generating failures and simulating quake like scenario.

● Analyzed the performance of network for different degrees of protection on an emulated 14 Node National Science Foundation (NSFnet) network topology.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Efficient Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) handling in Software Defined Networks, Jan 2018

● Implemented an efficient ARP broadcast handling approach where controller replies back to sender host.

● Designed a strategy for controller to respond back in constant time with topology information like MAC address.

● Emulated the network using mininet and RYU-SDN controller. Skills: Python, OpenFlow, Ryu.

● GitHub: https://github.com/TahaKhan1/ryuSDN/blob/master/app/arp_handler.py Path Switching on Edge Failures in Software Defined Networks (SDN), Feb 2018

● Designed a strategy to switch and update backup flow rules on switches when edge failures occur.

● Associated edges with unique ID and processed the topology information like access and interior ports.

● Restored the connectivity by deleting the failed flow rules and updating backup paths flow rules.

● Tested the network with disjoint backup paths and shared backup paths. Skills: Python, RYU Controller. Programming the network switch for QinQ tunneling, May 2016

● Implemented IEEE 802.1ad/Q-in-Q Protocol for incoming packets at the service provider switch using P4 language.

● Verified the functionality of the network switches by generating traffic using python applications.

● Skills: P4 (Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors), Bash scripting, Scapy. Multithread programming on Embedded Computer System and controlling an I2C device, Dec 2016

● Configured Galileo board and integrated them with temperature sensor, proximity sensor and a web camera.

● Used OpenCV library to detect human face and send the captured image to the web server when conditions set on temperature sensor and proximity sensor were reached. Skills: C, C++, Linux Troubleshooting, Putty. EXPERIENCE

Web Applications Intern, UMass Lowell Jan 2017-Mar 2018

● Implemented the guidelines of Section 508 Accessibility Compliance on UMass Lowell Website.

● Debugged Quality Assurance issues and performed functional testing of new web pages.

● Assisted in migration of pages from university’s previous website to new official website.

● Worked on Tridion Content Management System and Siteimprove Analytics Platform. Graduate Assistant, UMass Lowell Sept-Dec 2016

● Assisted students during lab sessions in using oscilloscope, multimeter and analog discovery for Circuits-I lab.
