Education:
Graduate Student, September 1999 - present
Computer Sciences Department, University of Wisconsin-Madison
GPA: 4.0/4.0
BE Computer Science and Engg., August 1995 - May 1999
School of Computer Science, College of Engg. Guindy, Anna University, India
GPA: 9.8/10.0
Class rank: 1 / 82
University wide rank: 1
Project Work:
Graduate class projects:
Advanced Operating Systems CS 736 - Fall 1999
Working as a team of two, we developed a file system interface to the World
Wide Web on Linux. This provided a uniform interface for files on the local
file system and web documents and enabled applications written to use the
local file system to be automatically extended to use web files. The project
required the implementation of a new file system for Linux as a kernel module.
Introduction to Computer Networks CS 640 - Fall 1999
Working as a team of three, we designed and implemented protocols for reliable
multicasting on a datagram network. The protocols we developed were for a
reliable multicast transport layer and for a datagram multicast-capable network
layer over UDP.
Database Management Systems: Design and Implementation CS 564 - Fall 1999
In a team of two, we developed various components of a single-user DBMS to
execute certain simple SQL queries. The components that we developed include a
buffer manager, heapfiles, relational and attribute catalogs and implementation
of relational operators(sort merge join, grace hash join, selection,
projection).
Selected Undergraduate projects:
Area: Distributed Systems
The project entailed the implementation of an interoperability model between
the distributed object models DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) and
CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) to enable DCOM clients to
access and use CORBA objects like native DCOM objects.
Area: System Software
This project involved the design of an efficient two-pass assembler(coded in C)
for a well constructed subset of the 68000 instuction set. A software simulation
of the 68000 processor on 80x86 was developed to serve as the base for the
assembler.
Area: Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence techniques in Prolog were used to enable a smart
simulation of the Indian game of Pallankuzhi as a computer-human game. The
minimax algorithm was used to decide the computer's moves.
Technical papers presented:

Honors and Awards:
Awarded University Vilas Fellowship 1999-2000 by the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Awarded the Guindy Engineering College Gold Medal 1996 and 1999, Ramanujam Endowment
for academic excellence in undergraduate study
Recipient of the National Talent Scholarship awarded by the National Council for
Educational Research and Training, Govt. of India
Ranked 2nd in the state in the Engineering Admissions list for admission to the
Engineering colleges in Tamilnadu, India (also selected at national level for
admission to the IIT's - ranked in the top 2% of the candidates who took the
Joint Entrance Exam 1995)
Ranked 6th in the Inter-State(India) Talent tests in Mathematics, 1993
Work Experience
Summer Intern, June 1998-July 1998, SRA Systems Ltd., Chennai, India
Explored three deployment options for the company's MIS developed as three-tier
architecture using DCOM. The study involved a comparison of the performance of
the deployment options. The result of this study was presented at HiPC 98.
