2019 — 2019

Sunnyvale, California

During the 12 week internship I worked with the AWS Robotics and Foundations Team on contributing to ROS2 by enhancing its Quality Of Service usability. In particular, I worked on adding two major features:

Added APIs to get publisher and subscription information by topic.

Added support for incompatible event callbacks.

Implementing these features involved designing and adding new APIs in core ROS2 packages. These features have now been merged and will be included in the ROS2 Foxy release (or can be found merged on master).

2019 — 2019

Orange County, California Area

Worked with the PS Now team in ensuring reliability of the various services used for streaming games.

Worked on benchmarking and testing data migration in an internally used Distributed Cloud Storage system; the migration involved moving hundreds of gigabytes of data between different data centres around the globe, lasting several weeks.

Tested, verified and enabled the balancer plugin on Ceph (a distributed data storage system); this brought down the disk utilisation gap from ~40% to less than 2%.

Created a highly configurable test suite to reproduce bugs faced during restarts and upgrades of various services.
