A (short) collection of the personal projects I have worked on throughout the years. More work can be found in the Blog section.
Masters Thesis
My most extensive personal project to date has been my Masters Thesis. My thesis proposed a technique for speeding up web browsing over mobile networks through a proxy server that scans server responses and pushes content to the user just-in-time, and involved the construction of a Node.js proxy and Google Chrome browser extension for measurement. All of the intricate details are in Just-In-Time Push Prefetching: Accelerating the Mobile Web.
ECE 150 Resources
During my time as a Masters student at the University of Waterloo, I had the opportunity to TA for Bill Bishop in the Fall 2009 edition of ECE 150. During my time as a TA, I put together a few examples of the concepts taught in the course.
Things You Learn in Engineering
Unsurprisingly, you learn quite a number of things in Engineering that you’d never expect to learn. What is surprising is the variety and peculiarity of things that you do actually get taught. After a lengthy conversation about the things we had “learned”, I threw together a page of items in the (then) style of the UW first year information package so that prospective students might get a complete idea of all the things they might learn at UW.
