Daniel Duclos-Cavalcanti

I’m a computer engineer living in New York with a bachelors and masters from the Technical University of Munich. Currently, collaborating on independent research with Dr.Sivaraman and PhD. Haseeb Ashfaq from Systems@NYU on distributed low-latency networking on the cloud.

The project revolves around Jasper: A Scalable Design and Implementation of a Financial Exchange in the Cloud. Beyond co-authoring and aiding in the development of Jasper, my master thesis constructed a performant heuristic to select VMs based on present cloud conditions to improve Jasper’s overall performance, both before and during runtime.

In addition to my recent research on cloud-based distributed systems, I have a strong background in embedded Systems, FPGA engineering, High-Performance Computing, and development for Linux/UNIX environments. Feel free to reach out or take a look at my resume/CV.

Master-Thesis

After a challenging year I finally defended my master thesis on “VM Selection for Financial Exchanges in the Cloud”. This collaborative effort was done as my master’s degree final credit at my alma mater the Technical University of Munich. Throughout this work I was by co-advised by PhD. Muhammad Haseeeb and Dr.Anirudh Sivaraman from Systems@NYU, as well as PhD. Navidreza Asadi and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Kellerer from LKN at TUM. The entirety of the code and relevant documentation can be found on github.
