NASA Content Based Planetary Image Search System
A similarity-based image search system we built for NASA Ames Research Center. It is capable of classifying large number of planetary images based on their visual similarity. Similarity calculation is based on various image features. The backend is built on C++ and Python and uses Hadoop as the distributed computation platform.

BrowserStats
A live browser vulnerability statistics site I built as part of my research in Carnegie Mellon with Collin Jackson. The system runs on Google App Engine and it collects data via ad networks from thousands of people every day, processes them and presents the results on a vulnerability timeline. We presented this project in Web 2.0 Security & Privacy 2010 conference in Oakland, CA. Click here for the position paper we presented .

CMU Plug-in Management Extension
This is a Google Chrome extension that periodically checks vulnerability levels of all your browser plug-ins. It is based on SecBrowsing. I built this extension as part of the Browserstats project. If you are using another browser, you can directly check out the extension page here.

mea3D - JavaScript 3D Engine and Raytracer
This is a 3D engine I wrote from scratch in JavaScript. All the 3D stuff is pure HTML5, mea3d uses no Flash, no Silverlight, no DirectX and no OpenGL. The engine supports transformations, lighting, loading of custom 3D models in JSON format and has some other cool features. It even has a raytracer which can render reflections and shadows!. Click here for mea3D source code. To see a demo of mea3D, check my (candidate) Chrome Experiment.

GameRemote
A mobile application that lets you use your Android phone as a game controller. The application connects to a server where sensor data from phone is broadcast to other clients. The cool thing is, users can play games in their browsers using their phones, just like a real racing wheel or a Wii Controller. You don't even need to install software on your computer!
