PROJECTS
Emotion handling in Hindi-TTS-system| Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology| Java| Team Project

Developed a well-received text to speech system in the native language (Hindi) which could handle four
emotions (anger, sorrow, joy, neutral). A research project undertaken by the college in the area of natural
language processing and appreciated for its futuristic implementation potential.
A Secure Login System | University at Buffalo| Java| Individual
 Developed a server client login system and it made it secure by implementing several cryptographic algorithms
for encrypting the communication (SHA-1, AES) and for key agreement (Diffie-Hellman).
Relational Query Engine | University at Buffalo| Java| Team Project
 Implemented an optimized relational query engine that handled operations such as insert, delete, update, select,
project, join and union. It was developed using externals JREs (JSqlParser and JDBM2) and tested for
correctness and against performance constraints.
Remote file sharing system | University at Buffalo| C| Individual
 Developed a simple application that achieves file sharing among remote hosts using TCP sockets and observed
network characteristics using it.
Implementing reliable transport protocols | University at Buffalo| C++| Individual
 In a given simulator, developed three reliable data transport protocols -Alternating-Bit (AB), Go-Back-N (GBN),
and Selective-Repeat (SR). Analysed and compared their performances to arrive at a credible benchmarking for
future reference.
Routing Protocols | University at Buffalo| C| Individual
 Successfully implemented a simplified version of the Distance Vector Protocol. The protocol was run on top of
servers (behaving as routers) using UDP.
Two Player Guessing Game | University at Buffalo| Verilog| Individual
 Developed a two player game on a FPGA board using Xilinx where one player had to guess the value entered
by the other player. When the player guessed the value correctly the no of guesses that where required is
displayed.
PAPER PRESENTATION
