🚀 Featured Projects

• 📊 JobStats.fyi — Real-Time Job Market Analytics
  Built a real-time analytics platform processing 15K+ submissions, reaching 1,000 sessions in the first 48 hours. Designed a distributed pipeline using Flask, MongoDB, Redis, Celery, and Prometheus/Grafana, with production monitoring and fault-tolerant background processing.

• 🧱 ButterDB — Custom Storage Engine (C)
  Implemented a key-value storage engine with on-disk B-Trees, fixed-size pages, write-ahead logging (WAL), crash recovery, and fine-grained locking. Focused on durability, concurrency control, and performance-critical storage internals.

• 🗄️ User-Space Unix File System (FUSE, C)
  Implemented a Unix-like file system in user space supporting core POSIX operations (read, write, mkdir, unlink, rename, chmod, stat). Designed on-disk structures including superblocks, bitmaps, inodes, and directory traversal over a disk image.

• 🧵 Concurrent Key–Value Store Server (C, pthreads, TCP)
  Built a multi-threaded TCP-based KV store with a listener/worker thread pool, thread-safe task queue, and monitor-based synchronization using mutexes and condition variables. Validated correctness with randomized concurrency tests.

• 🐚 Unix Shell Implementation (C)
  Implemented a Unix-style shell supporting pipes, I/O redirection, background execution, and conditional chaining (;, &&, ||). Built a custom parser and execution engine using fork(), exec*, waitpid(), and file descriptor manipulation.

• 🎧 Live Bluetooth Silent Disco
  Built a real-time system audio broadcast tool using WebSockets and Python, streaming low-latency audio to multiple Bluetooth clients via BlackHole.

• 🧠 LinkedInAssist — LLM-Powered Job Filter
  Chrome extension that filters LinkedIn job postings using natural-language prompts. Built with GPT-based inference and a Flask backend.

• 💬 Account Intelligence Chatbot (Hackathon @ Draup)
  Built an enterprise chatbot using RAG with LangChain, cross-encoder reranking, query expansion, Redis caching, and PostgreSQL-backed retrieval.

• 🧮 Java Portfolio Manager
  Designed an MVC-based investment simulator with external stock APIs, 100+ JUnit tests, and performance charts.

• 🚴‍♂️ Bike Rental Platform
  End-to-end BlueBikes-style system using React, Django REST, Redis, JWT authentication, and Azure deployment.

• 🩺 Myocardium Wall Motion Mapper (Patent Pending)
  Built a medical imaging pipeline to analyze cardiac wall motion from cine MRI scans using NumPy, multiprocessing, and interpolation.
