Experience and Projects

Period: Sept 2019 to June 2020

Company: Santa Clara University

Role: Software Engineer

Project: Senior Design Project – WayPoint

Developed an augmented reality application aiming to remove the need of looking at a map or going to a directory on Santa Clara University Campus. Inspired by the navigation assist system in a video game called Dead Space, the mobile application highlights horizontal pathways in the direction of the desired building as long as the user is within campus grounds.

Responsibilities:

• Outline the design and technologies needed for the project.

• Determine architectural framework along with what technologies to use.

• Develop authorization functionality to authenticate camera and location services for a given user.

• Develop the functionality that will highlight pathways, providing directions to the destination building.

• Won first place in our group of senior design projects. Technologies Used: Swift – Uikit, SwiftUI, ARkit, Project Dent AR+CL framework Period: Sept 2019 to Dec 2019

Company: Santa Clara University

Role: Web Developer

Project: Iron Engineer Website

Iron Bronco Triathlon is an ironman triathlon that spans 2 weeks, held on the Santa Clara University campus every year to promote student health and school spirit. Participants can form groups of up to 3 people and collectively run 26.2 miles, bike 112 miles and swim 2.4 miles. My team was tasked to create a website that allowed students and faculties to register for the competition, find teams, and log their progress along the way.

Responsibilities:

• Integrated oAuth API on Spring boot MVC framework web application to allow for Google Single Sign On.

• Set up mySQL tables for storing competitors’ information, teams they belong to, and logs for each competitor.

• Set up communication between AWS RDS and the Spring application.

• Developed administrative functionality on the website, which allowed administrators to approve teams, approve participant log activity and remove participants from the competition.

• Deployed completed website on AWS EC2.

Technologies Used: Spring Boot, oAuth, AWS RDS, AWS EC2, mySQL, JSP, CSS, Apache Tomcat, Bootstrap

Period: June 2018 to Sept 2018

Company: Western Digital Tegile, Newark CA

Role: Software Engineer (File Systems)

In order to reduce resilvering and data scrubbing on an active-active system running a ZFS file system, I utilized Apache Zookeeper to develop better communication between the two servers so that the jobs or tasks executed on these servers would not disrupt the functionality.

Responsibilities

• Used Zookeeper tree hierarchy to store physical ids of disks as edge znodes and linked each physical id to their respective vdev nodes. This ensured no disk would be used multiple times.

• Developed a highly available zookeeper ensemble by setting up 3 servers, 2 on the active-active system and a third which was integrated into an already existing HA service. If a server went down, the zookeeper server would continue communicating and once a server reconnected, the in-memory zookeeper tree would be updated.

• Initially set up the Zookeeper ensemble in Java, but due to compatibility issues, I had to restart and implement the technology in C. The transition to C was quick, and I was able to retrace my steps within a reasonable time.

• Set up initial boot dependencies and SMF manifests, which launched an instance of the zookeeper server and determined its status

(online/maintenance/offline/disabled) in order to create a method of monitoring the zookeeper ensemble status without accessing it directly. Technologies Used: Java, C, Apache Zookeeper, SolarisOS, Service Management Facility
