Design and Implementation of PTP (picture transfer Protocol) interface and a generic interface between CEDs and the BlueFS.

I worked on BlueFS – a distributed energy-efficient file system developed at University of Michigan, and developed a PTP interface for the file system and a digital camera so that all the changes on the file system or the camera are asynchronously and automatically replicated over the network. I also developed a generic interface for BlueFS which enables it to interact with different Consumer Electronic Devices (CEDs) having different protocol supports.

Summer Intern

a) Working on Related and Recommendation modules for iThink (now called Minekey)  
b) Development and Maintenance of Analytics Engine for Minekey Network. 

During its launch in May 2007, worked on and developed the analytics engine for the Minekey recommendations service performance. In its version 2 launch, I worked on upgrading the whole system architecture and adding more functionalities so that the system can work more seamlessly in a robust fashion even with such a large amount of data.
