I’m a graduate student working with Prof. Sam Madden in CSAIL at MIT doing research in high-scaling distributed database systems.
Here are the (non-confidential) projects in which I’ve been involved. More details when I have time!
These are various other software I’ve worked on, not exclusively associated with any particular project above.
