USC ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Operating Systems (C, Weenix and Qemu, GDB)
 Threads and Processes: Designed and implemented threads and processes primitives, thread synchronization
primitives.Thisenablesthekerneltorun multiple threadsforprocesses,mutex implementation,andFIFOscheduler.
 Virtual File System: Implemented Virtual File system by developing an interface for underlying file systems (S5FS
and RAMFS) throughpolymorphismin C. Implemented System Calls for Process Management and File Handling.
 Virtual Memory Management: Implemented the Process address space, Page fault handling, Stack management,
Memory map and System calls.
 Multi-threading- Token Bucket Emulation: Simulatedatrafficshaperthat transmitspacketscontrolledbyatoken
bucket filter using multi-threading within a single process in C.
COMPUTER NETWORKS(C, Python, Socket Programming and L3 Switch)
 Custom Network Protocol to support high Throughput: Implemented a custom network protocol and router by
addingonlythe headerinformationneededforthe customtopologyandby usingraw socketsandmulti-threading.
Achieved a throughput of 55Mbps on a 100Mbps link with 20% loss and 200ms RTT delay.
 Software IP Router: Designed a software IP Router using multi-threading and RAW sockets for each interface to
capture the data. ImplementedICMPsupportforpingand traceroute.Implementedcachingmechanismtolookup
next hop. Achieved a throughput of 885Mbps over 1Gpbs link.
 Kernel Hacking- Fast and Reliable FTP: Tweaked TCP kernel stack, removed exponential back off mechanism and
Slow Start and achieved 10Mbps on 100Mbps 20% loss link. Actual TCP Stalls on this link
 File Transfer Protocol: Implemented Custom Fast Reliable File Transfer Protocol using RAW sockets, bypassing
transport layer and achieved a throughput of 54Mbps on a 100Mbps 20% loss link and 89Mbps on a lossless link.
 L3 Switch: Designed a L3 learning switch using Open Flow protocol in Python.
 Peer-Peer Communication: Implemented a peer-peer network communication over UDP using Serial Broadcast,
Relaying and Pull Down registry mechanism.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE BharatElectronicsLimited(BEL),Deputy Engineer Nov 2012 – July 2015
 Network Design:Implementedaprivate cloud network calledNC3
IoverMPLS and redundantsatellite links, which
interlinks all Joint Maritime Operation Centers of Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard across 51 nodes.
 ConfiguredCiscoIOSSwitchesandRouters,Firewall, Load Balancer, Servers, Voice Gateway, IP Phones and AAA.
 Implemented Active Directory, DNS and Network management software
 Integrated G4 graded encryption device in the network.
 Integrated sensor input to the network.
