Computer Science Grader/TA

Graded programming assignments for CS 101 and Data Structures. Checked to ensure students were following C++ best practices, and were implementing algorithms and data structures such as binary search, hash tables, and linked lists correctly in their projects. Served as TA for Data Structures and Mobile Computing, holding evening hours to answer about C++ and Swift best practices and helping students brainstorm about best approaches towards specific aspects of projects. Projects

(see https://github.com/thegreenfrog for code)

Memory Pager: Implemented a virtual memory pager in C++ that received read and write requests as inputs and accessed the appropriate address space in memory. Utilized a 2nd-chance algorithm based on the 90/10 rule and LRU cache to significantly decrease the number of calls to disk. Wrote test cases that ensured the pager handled improper requests and requests when in different states properly.

Web Server: Server built from scratch in C that parsed HTTP requests coming from a port for a specific website and returned the HTML, CSS, and Javascript contents back to the client through the same port connection. Focused on clean memory management and allocation in order to make the server robust. Nile Systems: A textbook service system on Linux that utilizes Java RPCs for communication between catalog, order, and front-end server components. Emphasizes synchronization to ensure accurate data. Farmers to Families: IOS and web app that allows local farmers to sell their produce to people directly. Utilizes a common Parse backend that recently had to be converted to a MongoDB backend because of the shutdown of Parse’s services. Gesprach: Web Platform that is using graph theory to model comment threads and conversations to determine how real conversations happen and how communication online can be best structured to facilitate a natural conversation flow.
