Academic Projects (abbreviated list) (I believe in simple slides for presentations)
Decomposing Application in New and Exciting Ways with RPC (2012 - current):
This is an ongoing project which is investigating the possibilities of automatically decomposing applications to use Remote Procedure Calls to leverage the power and possibilities offered in today's networked environments
Online Storage Providers (Fall 2010 - 2011)
Performance of Online Storage Providers (OSPs) --> This the goal here is to develop extensible tools that allow customizable measurement taking methods for the evaluation of OSPs performance metrics. At an early stage this project was featured in a poster session at the OSDI conference in Vancouver under the title Benchmarking Online Storage Providers - Does Bandwidth Matter?
Kernel Code (Summer 2010)
Process Scheduling --> how to control the scheduling of potential malware applications without being noticed by the applications. What is needed to seize the execution of a process immediately from inside the page fault handler without a) returning control to the process, and b) without causing lasting damage to the kernel? Thus, the objective was to: Write code that forcefully removes task from scheduler, reschedule task (on demand) later, destroy task completely without the process noticing that these changes are inflicted upon it.
Experiment with Pyro (Summer 2010):
This was part of a proof of concept for the efficient and practical information exchange between multiple users in a distributed system. The coded proof of concept allwed me to familiarize myself with Python Remote Objects (Pyro).
Non-Academic Projects (also an abbreviated list)
Nokia Experiments (Summer 2011-current):
This is really two unrelated projects I have been playing with. Both involve products from Nokia. One is the Nokia N810 tablet and the other is me messing around with the QT libraries.
QT continues to intrigue me and, time permitting, I will continue to play around with it.
Canadian Satellite Design Challenge (Uvic ECOSat)(Spring 2011 - current):
From January 2011 until the summer 2011 I held the position of LEAD software before moving to Seattle for 6 months to work as a programmer for HP. LEAD software put me in the precarious position of being responsible for a small team of software savy computer scientists and engineers. Yes, the goal is to be able to say quite truthfully in two years from now: "I have a satellite in space, what do you have?"
Now that I am back in Victoria to continue my masters, I will try my best and continue to contribute to the satellite's software team.
