Work Experience: Tata Consultancy Services, – Integration Intern, NextGen R&D Santa Clara, California (May 2015 – August 2015) Deployed an OpenStack cloud infrastructure on RHEL 7 servers to leverage it as a Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure. Integrated TCS developed Python based NFV Manager as per ETSI MANO specs on deployed OpenStack cloud. Orchestrated Project Clearwater vIMS VMs using OpenStack HEAT to demonstrate the solution as a Proof of Concept. On completion, VoIP calls could be made between two softphones present in different network subnets to one another inside an OpenStack tenant. Academic Projects: Cloud Media Streaming Service: Java Jersey RESTful Web services, AWS EC2, AWS S3, Android, JSON, Jetty HTTP2 Server -Developed a REST API in Jersey REST framework which returns a JSON containing the list of media available on an AWS S3 bucket. -Implemented an Android app which parses the JSON and displays the media list so that a user can select a media and make it play on a media player. -Developed a REST API to provide a HTTP2 interface to a Java implementation of VLC Media Player to control the player using the android app as a remote.
Internet of Things with Raspberry Pi - Home Surveillance: Java Sockets, Python, Android, Raspberry Pi SoC -Provided live MJPEG video stream from Raspberry Pi camera to an Android app remotely over HTTP. -Developed an android app to view the live MJPEG video and to control door locks of a home using Java Sockets and Python scripts. -Established a way to send alert notification to the Android app using Parse.io RESTful API whenever an activity is detected in the Pi camera.
Layer-3 Firewall app on SDN Controller using OpenFlow and Open vSwitch: Python Pyretic, Mininet -Developed a Layer-3 firewall app on top of POX SDN controller which gets access list policies from a user though a CLI. -Controller installs flows on vSwitch using OpenFlow based on user policies. The controller also detects DoS attacks by looking for series of ICMP packets.
Design of Flea Market Database: -Designed a Flea Market database by initially analyzing the data requirements and formed the ER diagram. -Mapped the ER diagram into 3NF normalized relations and populated it with records using SQL INSERT and UPDATE Queries.
Oracle DB, SQL
Side Projects: Docker container as a Service: URL - https://github.com/shank7485/Dockerized-DeepDream-with-Flask Docker Container, HTML, Python Flask -Developed an API using Python Flask to receive image files from multiple users and process them using Google’s Deep Dream A.I. in a Docker container. -Wrote python scripts to maintain queues and process the images in parallel using threads to prevent incoming user requests from getting blocked.
Personal Website: URL – http://www.shashankkumar.me HTML, CSS (Bootstrap), Python Flask, Amazon Web Services EC2 -Built a website in spare time to portray my skills and deployed it on an Apache mod WSGI server in an AWS EC2 instance. -Programmed the front-end using HTML, CSS (Bootstrap) and back-end using Python Flask.
