Daniel Duclos-Cavalcanti

I’m a Computer and Electrical Engineer from the Technical University of Munich, where I’m also soon to receive a M.Sc. Degree from. Currently, I’m completing the last credit for this program externally in New York, via a research collaboration with Dr. Sivaraman and PhD. Haseeb Ashfaq from Systems@NYU.

The project in question revolves around Jasper: a Scalable and Fair Multicast Solution for Financial Exchanges in the Cloud. Jasper leverages the current desire to migrate financial exchanges to the public cloud and given the lack of a cloud-native multicast mechanism for such, it presents itself as a modern solution. My collaboration revolves around developing a performant heuristic to re-configure Jasper’s multicast-tree based on present cloud conditions both at runtime and startup. The repository for this work is on my Github profile but currently still is private since it hasn’t been finalized yet.

Beyond my recent collaboration around cloud-based distributed systems research, I also have a background in Embedded Systems and FPGA Engineering, as well as developing on and for Linux/UNIX systems. Feel free to contact me via any of the links below:
