Software Engineer Student

• 🌍 I'm based in Bucharest, Romania
• 🧠 I'm learning about Networking, LAN Mangament, Linux, OpenGL, Parallel and Distributed Programming, Data Structures & Algorithms, Communication Protocols, as well as web and embedded programming
• 🤝 I'm open to collaborating on Open Source PRs, DevOps projects

In this PR, I implemented the Linear Regression algorithm written in Rust, using algebric formulas.

My source code ended up being integrated as a nushell plugin.

Solved issue: #11392.

I wrote Rust enums for all Languages and Regions, according to international abbreviations form IBAN country codes.

I also extended the source code by writting exhaustive test cases to detect both the language and region on unix-like systems by pattern-matching an environment variable.

Issues I solved in my PR: #79, #55, #60.

• 🌐 LAN Configuration in Linux (Networking):

  • Deployed a WireGuard VPN tunnel

  • Simulated a network of computers using virtualization techniques: Docker containers on an OpenStack remote VM

• 🌐 Network Router: The software behind a router that includes ICMP protocol and IPv4 packet forwarding using LPM (Longest Prefix Match) on routing table
• 🌐 Network Switch: The software behind a switch that includes STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), VLAN tagging (802.1q) and CAM table
• 🌐 HTTP Client to a Book API: Developed a CLI tool for interacting with a RESTful API using core HTTP, JSON parsing (for transferring data) and a JWT authentication token for mentaining the HTTP session

• 🗃️ Parallel Map-Reduce: Implemented the parallel computation of an inverted index, similar to the one used by Google for processing large sets of documents
