ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Projects I did under university courses.

FileStack - Distributed File System

Custom RMI stack built from the ground up for CMU 15-440.

From-scratch RMI Multi-threaded core

Implemented a distributed file system that speaks our own Remote Method Invocation protocol. Dynamic proxies, serialization, and replication guarantees deliver file access across networked storage nodes.

Core Distributed Systems Capabilities

Complete operations: CRUD support with duplicate detection and automatic directory management
Self-registering nodes: Storage servers discover and sync with the naming service on boot
Global namespace: Bidirectional path mapping keeps remote storage transparent to clients
Reliability: Thread-safe logic and graceful failure handling across the cluster

Custom RMI Architecture & Implementation

Protocol authoring: Java dynamic proxies + TCP sockets + bespoke serialization pipeline
Concurrency: Worker threads prevent blocking and preserve throughput
Three-tier topology: Clients, naming server, and storage nodes coordinate via RPC
Intelligent dispatch: Transparent routing between local and remote method calls

Java RMI Distributed Systems Multi-threading TCP Sockets Dynamic Proxies Concurrency File Systems

BERT-based XSS Detection System

Browser security research project for CMU 17-403.

IEEE-format study Real-time scanning

Created a defensive ML system that flags cross-site scripting payloads before they land in production. Dataset balancing, augmentation, and latency tuning make it practical for real-world web traffic.

Research & Results

Accuracy: 94.74% F1 / 93% zero-shot on community payloads
Bias mitigation:Custom augmentation removes over-reliance
Corpus: 20,070 labeled samples spanning comments, form inputs, and adversarial payloads
Production viability: <100ms inference latency keeps the browser experience snappy
Publication-ready: Full IEEE paper with methodology, and literature synthesis

Technical Architecture

Model design: Fine-tuned BERT-base-uncased with task-specific classification head
Payload diversification: Generated function call variants to stress-test the classifier
Hardening tests: Validated against public exploit repos to confirm generalization
Deployment path: GPU-accelerated inference service with CPU fallbacks and batching

BERT Fine-tuning PyTorch Data Augmentation Web Security XSS Detection Browser Security
