Distributed Database System

Research-oriented work around a distributed database implementation derived from Spanner-RSS, focused on consistency tradeoffs, experiment execution, and performance evaluation in distributed environments.

Project Overview

This work involved contributing to a distributed database codebase in the Spanner-RSS family, a variant of Spanner designed to explore consistency relaxations and lower tail latency for read-heavy distributed workloads. The project combined systems implementation with experimental workflows.

What I Worked On

Developed and tested C++ applications in a distributed database environment.
Worked around consistency, fault tolerance, and performance tradeoff questions.
Built and ran experiments in Linux and CloudLab-based environments.
Supported performance evaluation workflows for distributed storage and database behavior.

Why It Matters

Shows hands-on comfort with distributed systems code beyond high-level application development.
Connects implementation work with research-driven experimentation and measurement.
Strengthens my portfolio on backend and systems engineering roles where performance and correctness matter.
