I created an experimental open-source Node.js package, which generates DOM from HTML5 canvas through visual inference. It demonstrates how computer vision techniques can be applied to automate the web animation testing process.

As a side project, I developed a web application MVP using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js). The main goal of this project is to provide users with a platform for simplifying volunteering or receiving help in the form of tasks of different categories. The application allows users to create an account, view and create tasks based on supported categories, and chat with each other.

As part of my computer networking course, I independently built stateless and stateful firewalls, an HTTP server, and a DNS server from scratch using Python. These projects expanded my networking protocols and Python programming knowledge while providing practical insights into web technologies. I acquired valuable experience in network security and server development and gained a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the web.

As my final project for the operating systems course, I designed and developed a distributed Fuse-based file system from scratch using C. The project involved storing data in Memcached servers with an ASCII protocol and converting the file system into key-value pairs. I implemented inodes for file metadata and blocks for file content, while directories utilized a single block for links. I optimized random read/write operations. This project allowed me to deepen my understanding of file systems and showcase my proficiency in C programming by designing and implementing the entire system.
