PROJECTS
Campus Connect
- iOS mobile application that allows the listening and viewing of local events at Purdue University
- Develop simple map interface to allow users to post and view events
- Includes features like a realtime heat map of current events, event check in and a review system for events
- Utilize technologies such as Firebase to store information about events and other data
- Allow for search of events based on metadata such as name, tags, location, etc
- Create backend system to allow for push notifications, notifying users of relevant events

Password Cracking
- This project mimics a systems login manager, as it is presented with a users password
- The system keeps a symbol table that stores the encrypted password for all users
- To securely login it needs to check whether that password corresponds to the given username in its internal tables
- Implemented a brute force algorithm without utilizing the symbol table, and an optimized version using a hash table to hold all the
users encrypted passwords

Memory Allocation and Free

- Personal implementation of a memory allocator, allows malloc and free as needed
- Smoothly manages all the bookkeeping and memory
- Implements an allocator utilizing a free list (linked list) to manage memory
- Requests chunks of memory from the OS, and efficiently allocates the appropriate size for the request small and large
- Capable of freeing any given block of memory in the heap, updating the free list, and handling all coalescing as needed in order to
save space and time

Online Email Server

- Implemented a well organized, functional online email server, made using Java
- Able to hold multiple users and perform operations on each

Shift Swap
