Ongoing Research Projects

High Performance and Scalable Multicast As A Cloud Service

• Designed and implemented a low-latency and scalable multicast service
• Used kernel-bypass techniques (DPDK) for achieving ultra-low latency
• Achieved better latency and scalability than the multicast provided by AWS Transit Gateway

Real Time Volumetric Videos streaming

• Designed and implemented a scalable streaming system that can adapt to network conditions and serve heterogeneous clients using minimal resources
• Designed an encoder/decoder for point cloud data that can tolerate packet losses
• Desgined a low latency transcoding mechanism for point clouds

Service Mesh Based Microservices Authorization For Byzantine Environments

• Designed a new access control system, Path Aware Access Control that takes into account the path a user request follows in a microservices application before allowing it to access some microservice(s)

Experience

Networking Research Intern at Nokia Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ, USA

• Led a project for designing and developing a streaming service for AR/VR content
• Designed and implemented a scalable streaming system that can adapt to network conditions and serve heterogeneous clients using minimal resources
• Designed an encoder/decoder for point cloud data that can tolerate packet losses

Software Engineer at PosterMyWall, Pakistan

• Secured the product website by eliminating critical security vulnerabilities (XSS, CSRF, IDOR, potential Brute Force Attacks)
• Designed and implemented an access control system for different tools of the company
• Setup CI/CD pipeline along with a testing infrastructure
• Created a disaster recovery mechanism for the company’s infrastructure hosted on AWS
• Worked with various AWS services: EC2, S3, CloudFormation, CloudWatch, CodeDeploy
