Experience

  • Oracle Data Cloud Application Migration
    http://www.addthis.com

    This project required the migration of multiple applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) from Equinix. It involved application configuration, monitoring set up, and regression checks for multiple services and applications. This needed full-stack application knowledge. I led the migration effort of a number of applications while leading the offshore team.

  • Measuring the Performance of VoIP Over Wireless LAN

    The IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) has become popular and has provided excellent wireless networking solutions. With the popularity of WLAN and Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), it is essential to measure the performance of VoIP over WLAN. This paper aims to compare the performance of the Voice over IP protocol in both LAN (802.3) and WLAN (802.11). This paper examines how the communication protocol performs in two different network setups and analyzes the OPNET modeler results. It also examines the optimization of 802.11e for the Quality of Service (QoS), using the priorities to provide real-time service for VoIP.
