The platform consisted of an asynchronous event driven middleware, application-level data collector agents, network element adapters (SNMP), event processing engine, event notification system, and an AJAX based UI dashboard application • Developed distributed Linux back-end service components using C++, JBoss, AJAX, UDP, TCP, XML, and HTML • Developed Linux UDP server agents to be used for publishing and collecting data in real-time. The agents are Linux daemons which consist of a UDP Publisher and a UDP Listener • Developed Linux TCP server agents to be used as event based HTTP web services • Developed Linux network event notification framework in C++ • Developed event processing engine to detect faults such as application failure, low memory usage, and similar • Developed AJAX client used for monitoring all the nodes in the overlay network • Developed central dashboard to provide global monitoring. It was developed using JBoss, Seam, and Hibernate Environment: C++, C, TCP/IP, UDP, Linux, GNU Build Tools, JBoss, Hibernate, Web 2.0, JavaScript, AJAX, Oracle 10g From August 2009 to January 2010 (6 months) C++ Developer @ As a member of the Linux Distributed File System Team, I developed and supported the internal MySpace Content Delivery Network platform. This platform consisted of an origin layer - made up of a proprietary distributed storage file system called DFS; a resource manager; and a distributed cache layer. The platform was used to store and retrieve all media objects (music, images, videos) used by the MySpace users. My work was a mixture of operations and R&D, which focused on adding the next generation features to the platform. The platform was written in C++ and it included a proprietary event-driven web server capable of handling over 5000 concurrent connections per second; a memcache-like distributed cache layer; and client side API libraries that were used to consume the CDN services. • StorageBdb. Developed software using Berkeley Database to enable the storage and retrieval of media contents from a DFS system • DFSNetwork. Developing middle-ware for next generation distributed applications. This involved building server agents that were self-aware and can be used to autonomously manage groups of systems • DFSNetworkViewer. Developing a graphical web application (Flex, Flash) to enable the visualization of the DFS clusters • Jpeg2000. Investigated and developed a prototype for the use of Jpeg2000 as a compression algorithm for DFS system • Bloom Filters for DFS Storage. Investigated and prototyped the use of Bloom Filters for the purpose of storage reduction by coalescing data across a DFS cluster • DFS Compiler. Investigated building a domain specific language compiler using LLVM • DHT Overlay Network. Developed a prototype P2P/DHT overlay network using Chord algorithm Environment: C++, C, Linux, GNU tools, Bloom Filter, BDB, DHT, Distrusted Storage, Distributed Systems, LLVM, Lex, Flex, Yacc, Event Driven Architecture, Epoll, TCP/IP, JPEG2000, Linux Sockets, Low Latency, High Volume, Apache, Apache Modules, C10K Problem From August 2007 to July 2009 (2 years) Sr. Content Protection Engineer @ Responsible for researching and evaluating security solutions used for protecting Disney digital video content • Performed binary Reverse Code Engineering and digital forensic analysis to identify attacks against the AACS DRM • Performed analysis on the impact of DRM in the digital home • Developed J2EE application for managing DRM related project Environment: C, C++, Java, Encryption, DRM, JBoss, J2EE, IDA Pro, Ollydbg, RCE From January 2007 to August 2007 (8 months) Sr. Member Technical Staff @ Member of research team which focused on high-performance real-time image processing, real-time 4K workflow, and meta-data workflow.
