Research Interests:
I am interested in designing and implementing large-scale distributed systems that are robust and easy to write applications against. I have worked on a variety of projects including a distributed persistent object store, a secure distributed serverless file system using Byzantine fault tolerance, diagnostics in wireless networking, object-relational mapping framework, and a distributed auto-partitioning lease manager for datacenter servers – the last two pieces of work shipped as part of commercial products/large-scale online services. I am currently working on another highly-scalable distributed system that can make certain aspects of Web programs much more efficient and easier to program.
