Student | Software Engineer | Blogger

Hi! I am a graduate student at the University of Florida, I am pursuing my Masters in Computer Science. I love building applications which are challenging in terms of feature and also scalable. I also love working on data to get insightful patterns. Learn More.

About Me

I enjoy working on new ideas and implementing them effectively. I consider myself Softare Engineer and have worked on many personal, academic projects and challenging problem statements in hackathons. With so much hands on experience, it has also prepared me to tackle day-to-day critical problems like building up fault tolerant systems, applications that can handle millions of requests and improving scalability.


I also love playing with complex datasets to identify various human behavioural patterns and so far I have worked on numerous datasets to solve real life problems.


I have worked extensively in Java, Python, Javascript, C++ and Elixir. My projects describe work in Android Applcation Development, large scale projects in java, Web Development and implementation of concurrency, scalability, fault tolerant system using elixir. Other than that, I have also worked on projects like developing REST API, machine learning models for analyzing data and many more.


I enjoy being a lifetime learner. I am always in search of new skills or knowledge out there, which helps me build myself and stay updated with this growing technology.


If I had to describe myself in one line then I would say myself as hard working, won't give up till goals are achieved, easily approachable and friendly by nature. I am currently actively looking for summer internships starting may 2020. You can contact me here.

Achievements


Smart India Hackathon

(National Level Hackathon) • March 2018
Secured 2nd position

  • Our problem statement was “Reporting and Counseling of Cyberbullying Crimes” We developed a cross platform app using Ionic Framework which was tested in android, windows, ios platform.
  • A victim can submit required evidence and also describe his/ her problem and report to app. To provide better support for user we had included multiple regional languages and also integrated virtual counsellor(Chatbot) to guide user. Victim can also access discussion forum to browse/discuss the problem.
  • Application also had interface for police/ officer who can solve case reported by victim.
  • After successfully completing this hackathon we continued to develop our application and we further implemented: Integrated with Firebase, identify fake complaints/spam, provide status to user about their case, distribute equally complaints to cyber crime office or various police departments based on user’s location.

ERR_404 Hackathon

(State Level Hackathon) • Oct 2017
Top 10 teams

  • I had the idea of building up system which can have all the documents in one place. Currently in india, a person requires many documents for a single application in government and may also need to travel long distances to submit documents. I decided to build this idea and lead a team of 6 in this state level hackathon.
  • We created the system in java and built the GUI using JavaFX. Since the application was aimed to use nationwide we used Apache HBase to perform our standard operations. App provided to every user, which he can share with the government office who can then retrieve documents from our server.
  • But before that the user needs to authenticate that government officer and also select what documents that officer can access to.


Work


Independent App Developer

Dec 2015 - Aug 2016

I designed, developed and published apps in few android app stores. I started developing app during my first semester of undergraduate degree (Computer Engineering). I have worked on apps like:

  • Socialify - Here all the most frequent social media website, entertainment, news is in one place. App also included feature like taking screenshot or saving image directly from website. User can see all those downloaded media in download section which was like gallery. App also includes utitlies like making reminder/event, so a user set it within the app.
  • Walleo - It is a simple wallpaper app where user can apply wallpaper to their screen. App used firebase storage for retrieving images. Main challenge of this app was to load images faster so user can scroll faster.
All this apps were developed when I was in my first year and I had taught myself android application development.
This provided me a boost and early lesson on how software works and what challenges a developer faces when it comes to building product which keeps user requirements in mind. This helped me to perform outstanding in hackathons and in my current projects

Projects


Twitter Clone
Nov 2019 - Dec 2019
  • Implemented a Twitter-like engine to distribute and process tweets and paired up with Web Sockets.
  • It can perform all functionalities concurrently: Register, login, delete account, Send Tweet, Subscribe, Re-Tweet and query tweet, hashtags, user’s mentions and can also deliver live tweets.
  • Tested for 100k users where each user was given random queires and random messages were sent concurrently.

Implementation of Peer to Peer network
Nov 2019 - Dec 2019
  • Developed peer to peer file sharing application in Java and socket programming for multiple peers.
  • File is divided in chunks and distributed among peers and then each peer transfer chunks to other peer concurrently using socket programming till the all the chunks of a file is received.

Construction Scheduler
Nov 2019
  • Software to keep track of building construction. The goal of this project is to create an application without using any libraries.
  • Project performs scheduling with the help of Min Heap and Red-Black Trees which were written from scratch and perform standard operations like insert, delete, etc.
  • It provides the same performance and most of the functionalities provided by collections in java.

Gossip Simulator
Sep 2019 – Oct 2019
  • Implemented a gossip algorithm and push sum algorithm in Elixir.
  • In Gossip algorithm, messages are sent to neighbours in the topology till all the adjacent nodes receive that message. One real world example of this would be checking status of multiple system in distributed network.
  • In push sum algorithm, it is uses implementation of gossip algorithm and each user passes half of its sum and it runs till everyone has received. At the end each node will have the total average value in network. You can find the complete specification here.
  • Algorithms were tested in various network topologies: Line, Full Network, Random 2D Grid, 3D Torus Grid, Honeycomb with a random neighbor.
