Work

  • 2024.07 - Present
    Researcher
    RDMA Database
    Collaborating on the development of a general-purpose, object-level RDMA transaction system. Identified bottlenecks and implemented database benchmarks, significantly increasing transaction throughput.
    • Advisors: Prof. Huaicheng Li, Sumit Monga
    • Doubled TPCC throughput from 22K to 45K transactions per second on 8 threads compared with the state-of-the-art
  • 2023.09 - 2023.12
    Peer Mentor
    Big Data Systems Peer Mentor
    • Assisted over 50 students with debugging issues in big data systems and Linux environments, enhancing understanding of systems like HDFS, Spark, Kafka, and Cassandra.
    • Gained practical experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • 2023.04 - 2024.01
    Researcher
    Zygote Tree Algorithm
    Developed the Zygote Tree algorithm to preload Python modules based on package dependencies and usage patterns, significantly reducing serverless startup latency. Proposed optimizations and integrated the algorithm with OpenLambda, enhancing throughput and reducing latency.
    • Advisor: Instructor Tyler R. Caraza-Harter
    • Improved throughput by 4.3× and reduced p-95 latency by 2.5×
    • Performed performance analysis on container primitives like cgroup and unshare
