FEATURED PROJECTS

Distributed Key-Value Store

Python DHT Chord Protocol

Implemented a scalable Distributed Hash Table (DHT) using Chord protocol with consistent hashing and fault tolerance. Features include robust node management with finger tables, successor lists, and automated failure detection/recovery. Built with thread-safe SQLite data persistence, concurrent access handling, and ACID compliance. Engineered reliable network protocols with retry mechanisms and thread pooling. The self-stabilizing network maintenance ensures O(log N) lookup complexity with automated replica repair mechanisms in a dynamic P2P environment.
