Project Experience
 Voicemail Zimlet: Developed a zimlet (widget for Zimbra Email & Calendar) for Georgia Tech Telephony
services using J2EE technologies. This involved building a proxy for the voicemail server which handles user
authentication and session for voicemail management over HTTPS.
 Conferencing Via Calendars (ConCal): Developed a conferencing system using SIP servlets, Asterisk
which calls the attendee instead of attendee calling the conference bridge.
 FollowMe: Developed a GPS application for Android mobile phones which shows your real-time location as
well as real-time location of the one you are following.
 Secure Distributed File System: Developed a SDFS using Java. The authentication of clients was done
using OpenSSL. The files on server could be encrypted using DES/AES algorithm.
 Video Streaming over Bluetooth: Built an application using J2ME which streams live video from one cell
phone to another cell phone over Bluetooth.
 An Optimized Distributed Web Proxy Server: Designed and implemented a multi-threaded web proxy
server based on ‘Boss-Worker’ multi-threading model using PThreads. Communication with the servers was
optimized by sharing memory segments when server and proxy were on same machine. An RPC server was
also implemented to implement the image compression functionality intelligently.
 Tweaking BitTorrent to reduce Inter-AS Traffic: Research project on BitTorrent to reduce inter-AS
traffic. This project was implemented on BitTornado (Python).
 myBuzzGuide: Developed an iPhone application that will serve as an interactive campus assistant to
students who are new to Georgia Tech campus. This project also involved developing a RESTful web service
serving as a backend for the iPhone application.
