Hi! I am Mokshith Kumar


Cloud Infrastructure Architect @ Amazon Web Services.

I read. I travel. I live. Here's my resume.



I am currently working as a cloud infrastructure architect at Amazon Web Services Inc., the world's largest public cloud provider company.

Previously, I graduated from University of Southern California with a masters degree in Electrical Engineering specializing in Computer Networks. Prior to this, I studied Electronics & Communication Engineering at Bangalore Institute of Technology, where I received my bachelors degree.

I've worked at a few places

I doing new things


I enjoy going on long drives, exploring new places and meeting new people. Because travelling leaves you speechless, and then turns you into a storyteller!







Some projects I've worked on




Weenix-Unix Kernel Based Operating System
May'18

Developed fundamentals for UNIX based OS called WEENIX in C. Programmed System Calls for process creation, thread creation, mutex implementation, scheduling mechanism, context switching, and synchronization primitives. Implemented an interface between WEENIX Kernel and underlying file system (ramfs or S5FS). Implemented virtual memory management for WEENIX OS, functions for page fault handler, thread cloning and forking a process.

OpenFlow Switch and Router Design
March '18

Designed a switch and a router using OpenFlow - one of the first Software Defined Networking standards, tested it for various topologies and created a firewall to modify switch’s behaviour. Used Mininet to simulate a realistic virtual network on a single machine and POX Controller in Python for implementing the switch





UNIX Socket Programming
Nov '17


I programmed a prototype of AWS MapReduce to perform computational offloading where a single client offloads computation to a server to in turn distribute load to back-end servers. Programmed a client server model to govern communication of UNIX sockets for both TCP and UDP connections

AWS Based Android Application for Recipe Suggestion
Oct '17

Used Amazon Web Services and built an application to suggest users suitable recipes based on input images. Analyzed and classified input images using AWS recognition to suggest a suitable recipe based on the uploaded images of ingredients.

Exploration Robot Using Raspberry Pi
May '17

An exploration robot was built which gives live visual feed using a camera module and builds a 2D map of the surrounding. It is controlled through RF signals and the robot’s position can be continuously tracked by GPS in Realtime. The robot has wide applications in areas like mining, astronomy, military etc.






And a little bit about me...


I swam in National Level swimming competitions and my love for swimming is never ending. Currently, I swim occasionally to relax my mind.

Topper in National Level Abacus Competitions for three consecutive years from 2005 to 2007. Topper in State Level Abacus Competitions for two consecutive years from 2005 to 2006. Honored to have received a medal from Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam and Mr. Rakesh Sharma.

As a Technical Coordinator of Electronics & Communication Students' Association, an official tech club of BIT-ECE, I organized several workshops on IoT - Home Automation, Raspberry Pi and Bluetooth Controlled Bot with over 250 participants.


And here's my resumé...
