EXPERIENCE
Software Engineer Intern at Oracle corp. Jun’16-Aug’16
• Used Oracle Mobile Application Framework to build cross-platform mobile application for appliance status
monitor and remote configuration.
• Implemented the application layer using Java to fetch and parse data from XML-RPC and REST calls.
PROJECTS
MEng Project: RichReview – Rich and Expressive Communication over Shared Documents Sep’15-Dec’15
• Reference Link: https://www.richreview.net/ Code: https://github.com/TracyHuang/RichReviewXBlock
• Designed and implemented a touch-screen based version of the original system. Also added some features
specific for the touch-screen device like side previews and zoom in/out.
Final Year Project: Distributed Computing Platform for Computer Vision Applications Sep’14-May’15
• Designed and implemented a distributed computing system to achieve the parallel execution of large-scale
(with 10s GB input data) computation-intensive computer vision applications.
• Used Remote Process Call to invoke program execution remotely, and set up Hadoop Distributed File
System to share data and program.
MIT Summer Research Program: 4D Light-field Reconstruction and Signal Compression May’14-Aug’14
• Reference Link: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/netmit/LFSparseRecon/
• Built a light-field reconstruction program, which takes advantage of the sparseness of ordinary signal’s frequency
spectrum and performs reconstruction on frequency domain peaks by gradient descent.
• The program was also capable of compressing real world data into a collection of its frequency domain peaks and
recovering from them.
• Achieved a 6x speedup compared with the original implementation.
Undergraduate Research Program: Overlay and P2P Multimedia Streaming Aug’13-Jan’14
• Reference Link: http://streamphony.com/stream
• Designed and implemented a monitor for a video-on-demand system, which includes functionalities like
checking peer server state, load balancing and making buffer decisions.
• Used PHP to implement P2P multi-level information passing/sharing between servers.
Undergraduate Research Program: System Software for General-purpose Cloud Computing Substrate Aug’12-Jun’13
• Designed a scheduling algorithm based on Delay Scheduling and the observation that improving data
locality can significantly shorten execution time.
• Used C-like language to implement the scheduler, which takes advantage of local storage information and
previous running results (if available) to shorten the execution time.
• Achieved a 17% shorter execution time compared with Fair Scheduling.
