Luka has developed serverless SQL pools and state-of-the-art querying services for data in a data lake, used worldwide as part of the Azure Data Analytics suite of products. He was solely responsible for improving horizontal scaling, periodic backup and creating CRUD testing infrastructure. He also worked on creating production-ready, scalable REST APIs, all of which are currently working under the hood in Azure.

Multithreaded Kernel

https://github.com/lukafilipov/multithreaded-kernel
This is an implementation of a multithreaded kernel with time-sharing and preemption from the ground up. It hooks into real computer registers to manipulate the stack, the program counter, and the rest to enable system calls and events, interrupt routines, and more.

FAT File System

https://github.com/lukafilipov/file-system-implementation
Implementation of a simplified FAT file system with caching. It has options of synchronous and multithreaded manipulation of files and partitions. Among other functionalities, there are options of creating, editing, and deleting files and creating, mounting, and unmounting partitions.

Assembler Emulator

https://github.com/lukafilipov/assembler-linker-emulator
Implementation of assembler which can parse x86 assembly code. Linker enables the usage of multiple files as part of a single program by statically linking them. The emulator can execute the provided assembly code.
