RELEVANT PROJECTS & COURSEWORK

Technical Support Website I • PHP, HTML

Shell • C

Built a simple shell that runs programs and supports file redirections and pipes using the fork, dup2, and execlp functions in C.

Barrier • C++

Learned the basics of synchronization primitives to build a barrier for multiple threads to cooperatively solve problems.
