Experience

Kiwix - Google Summer of Code Student
June 2020 - September 2020
Project link on Google Summer of Code Website - https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#4706577602314240
- Helping archive the best content on the internet using the ZIM spec
- Made code sharing possible across their offliners, and improved the python-based offliners and the zimfarm, which is a semi-decentralized system for building ZIM files automatically
- Improved and made offliners for the entire collection of TED videos, all StackExchange based forums, all openedx based MOOC courses, and the entire Project Gutenberg Library
- Added S3 based optimization cache for all python based offliners, enabling 10x faster offlining on an average and 10x faster throughput on the zimfarm
- Maintained and did major contributions to four of their projects - python_scraperlib, ted2zim, openedx2zim, and sotoki. python_scraperlib would also be used by a Mozilla sponsored project.
- Transitioned the offlining mechanism to write content to ZIM files on the fly, without writing to disk first and compressing to ZIM. This has enabled faster and more reliable offlining.
