a student and an engineer

hi 👋, my name is Akshat Sharma, I’m currently a CS grad student working in the File Systems and Storage Lab(FSL) at Stony Brook University.

I’m currently researching secure archival storage systems and their applications. I’m interested in learning about databases, operation systems, distributed systems and have worked in distributed systems at Stony Systems Lab before working in FSL.

Here, I post things that I find interesting/notes that I want to share with the world.

Personal notes on the Generalized Isolation Level Definitions paper that was published in 2000.

CockroachDB, The Resilient Geo-Distributed SQL Database

Personal notes on the CockroachDB paper that was presented in SIGMOD 2020.
