I am primarily responsible for the tiering management and garbage collection features of our distributed data store. More generally, I have worked on the data store as a whole including tuning the data path, migration, and QoS code. I am a first level resource for finding and fixing memory leaks and other performance related bugs. In addition to the C++ work I do on the data store, I also have had a hand in our Python test infrastructure, and other Python automation tools.

Major focus on investigating potential storage savings in indexing systems for non-hierarchical file systems. Additional work in studying the efficacy of performing a computation versus storage trade-off in the cloud; methods of modeling/simulating this trade-off, and possible use cases.

Designed a novel frequency based file ranking algorithm for ordering search results in backup systems.

Working on various projects related to systems testing and reliability.

Conducted two weekly lab sections for undergraduate students.Acted as a first level resource undergraduate students for needing assistance.

Enhanced and developed high visibility mobile applications for major television networks.
