• Built an AWS DynamoDB database and developed AWS Lambdas to support CRUD operations using REST APIs
• Optimized performance by reducing latency by half, and at the same time doubling the throughput and reducing cloud
processing cost by 25% by identifying bottlenecks and reducing the size of the deployment package by 20%
• Constructed data acquisition pipeline by implementing cron jobs that upload data daily recorded by microscopes,
displaying results and statistics by processing data using machine learning models in the cloud on the web app
• Prevented fatal, silent recording failures by implementing blocking warnings, non-blocking indicators in the research GUI
• Implemented semaphores locking-unlocking system to handle deadlock between asynchronous operations in the GUI.
• Ensured comfortable experience of database viewing by interpreting browsing flow and making the quality of life changes

Built a configurable multithreaded client to simulate 1 million concurrent purchase requests being sent to the server.
Built a tomcat server using Servlets that would accept purchase information made by the client and temporarily saved purchase information in a durable persistent RabbitMQ queue that could survive server failures.
Processed purchase information from RabbitMQ and stored the information to DynamoDB.
Achieved a throughput of 5619 requests/second with a load balance server with 4 t2-micro Ec2 instances.

Set up HBase as an index to store flight plans as an index for quick lookups. 
Set up a map-reduce framework that would develop flight plans using Equi-joins implementation which would scan the HBase for suitable flight plans that would make it possible to develop flight plans with 2 intermediate stops.
Compared performance with Reduce-Side join implementation and determined that HBase provided faster throughput
Airline Trip Manager
Designed and developed an image processing desktop-based photo editor application in java.
Implemented various image processing filtering techniques like blurring, sharpening, dithering, tiling, grey scaling, dithering, sepia filters.
Application built with strict adherence to SOLID design principles and MVC design pattern.
Image Processing Photo Library
Aimed to minimize the use of a keyboard and develop a gesture-based system, using a device’s camera.
Accomplished the task of recognizing gestures and numerical input using the OpenCV library to track a specified colored object.
Created a CNN model to train and test the model for the classification of numbers using the MNIST dataset.
The developed product was successful in providing the various functionalities of a calculator with added support for a few types of equations.
