popular
University of Illinois Office of Development, Chicago Illinois
January 2012- July 2012
IT Graduate Assistant
 Developed and maintained intranet for the office using Drupal 7.3(http://weareuic/node)
 Developed web applications which can be found at http://giving.uic.edu using HTML and CSS
 Provided IT support to all the machines and printers in the department
IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), Madras Mentor: Dr. Shankar Balachandran Summer 2010
Summer Intern
 Worked in a team of three on the management and analysis of network topology and heartbeat
monitors for hosts on RISE LAB network of IITM and designed a GUI using ZENMAP to show
the status of all the hosts.
Selected Projects:
 Implemented a HEAP CALCULATOR in Smalltalk. Two binary heaps using trees were
constructed and the union, intersection, difference among the two heaps were calculated and
stored in one of the heaps. The canvas tool of Smalltalk was used to create the GUI.
The same concept was implemented using C++.

Created an abstract class in C++ called COLLECTION and defined all its functions as pure
virtual functions. Sub classes namely ARRAY and ORDEREDCOLLECTION were created
and the virtual functions were redefined in the sub classes. These functions include adding and
removing an element in the collection, overloading operators "=" and "[]", virtual copy functions
and virtual destructors
 Created an iphone app for the UIC community to navigate to the various departments and buildings
from their current location by providing turn by turn navigation using Xcode and Objective C and
uploaded it in the app store.
 Determined the polarity of a given word using the heuristics derived from synonym, antonyms,
hypernyms-hyponyms and meronyms. This was implemented in Java with Wordnet 4.0 as the
backend. The words which didn’t fit into these rules were identified.
 Identified and retrofitted vulnerabilities in a web application using JSP, which included cross side
scripting and request forgery, SQL injection and parameter tampering(Fall ‘11)
 Created an intrusion detection system(firewall) using libpcap library in Java for packet
sniffing and rejecting them based on a rule set. (Fall ’11)
NETWORKING PROJECTS
 Created a simple web client using socket programming in C. The objective of the project is to get
and store the file we specify as a command line argument, in the local repository with its
appropriate name.
 Create a multi threaded web server using sockets in C. The objective of this project was to run the
web server and access it via web browser such as IE to get all the data kept within a directory.
 DNS resolution. The main objective of this project is to get the ip address of URL specified as a
command line argument to the program. If the argument is an ip address then the reverse DNS
lookup should be called and the corresponding name should be given as the output.
 Created a bit torrent client which successfully uploads and downloads pieces of file with the
seeds and peers of UIC CS450 BITS laboratory. This was implemented using non-blocking
sockets and select method making it an event based mechanism.
 Implemented a reliable transport protocol which implements a reliable data transfer over UDP by
including sequence numbers and negative acknowledgements. The Go-Back N was implemented
for a dynamically changing congestion window which followed the additive increase
multiplicative decrease (AIMD) of TCP.
 Simple Router –(IP and Link Layer Programming)
o Implemented Address Resolution Protocol, Packet forwarding (IP) and ICMP response
error/messages for simple router using C programming and Stanford Virtual Network System
 PLANET LAB experiments using SHELL SCRIPTING
1. Made 200 remote machines ping each other simultaneously and plotted a graph between
the round trip time and the distance between the hosts.
2. For the same 200 sites trace routes were done from one site to every other site.
Through the trace route experiments the autonomous system of the intermediate hops was
obtained. From this the top 3 autonomous system through which maximum traffic went
through were found out and reported.
