Projects:
Remote Desktop Application
Technology Used: Microsoft Visual Basic 2008(.NET), Microsoft SQL Server 2008
The software is used for handling multiple remote desktop connection requests from client and creates job pull.
Problem resolver team can monitor job pull, select job and connect with requester to solve his problem.

Capture The Flag
Technology Used: JSP, MySql 5.3, Twitter Bootstrap, Glassfish Server 3.3
The website used for and event named Capture the flag. The website simulates different vulnerability in Linux &
Web application via different problem. Identifying & exploiting that vulnerability leads to a text called flag.

WikiLeak Data mining
Technology Used: Hadoop 0.20.203, Pig, Cloudera Hue
The data downloaded from WikiLeak were uploaded on Hadoop Distributed File System and different query result
generated using PIG.

Efficient MapReduce Connected Component Algorithm in Large Scale Graph
Technology Used: Hadoop 0.20.203, MapReduce
We designed more robust and efficient algorithm for finding connected components in large scale graph on
MapReduce programming model. The results were computed on HP-Cloud.

Investigation of Distributed Graph Coloring Algorithms on BigData
Technology Used: Hadoop 0.20.203, Apache Giraph, Stanford Graft
In this project, I did survey of available distributed graph coloring algorithms. The implementation was done on Bulk
Synchronous Parallel based graph processing system called Apache Giraph on top of Hadoop. The final report had
discussion and comparison of all the algorithms on the parameter of runtime and # of color used for real world data.
