Projects
- MSc Thesis: An Adaptive QoE-Driven DVFS Framework, 09/01/23, 10/01/25, St. Francis Xavier University, Designed a user-centric power and performance management framework for compute-constrained embedded systems using dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). Developed adaptive CPU and GPU frequency scaling strategies based on Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements of long running and dynamic applications.
- Backend Microservices Development, Cognizant, 08/01/21, 07/01/23, Developed and enhanced backend microservices for a large-scale US-based video streaming platform (Sling TV - DISH Network) using Go (Golang). Designed and documented RESTful APIs using Swagger (OpenAPI), leveraging goswagger for API specification, validation, and testing. Refactored and migrated components from a monolithic architecture to microservices, improving modularity, scalability, and maintainability.
