PROJECTS
Fault Tolerant Failure Detector using Gossip Multicast
 ~1000 line multi-threaded C program to detect failed nodes on a distributed system in fault tolerant manner.
 Highly fault tolerant against packet loss and node failure. Low communication overhead, latency and fast spread.
Intelligent Search
 Map Reduce job over Hadoop to categorize large corpus (~100,000 documents) into ‘topics’ for topic-based search.
 Implemented in Amazon EC2 using Mallet tool’s Parallel Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model.
Event Pattern Matching over Graphs
 ~800 lines of Java code to solve subgraph isomorphism. Efficient use of Java collections to improve performance.
