Projects

Android App Development- Final year project
Giving someone your blood is like giving that person a second chance to life and in a country like South Africa where many are not aware of blood donation, it is a very useful application. In this app an individual who is willing to donate will send a request to a donation station closer to him/her and then an appointment will be made for him/her to come and do all the processes to determine the eligibility of donating.
Exploration of effective SDN load balancers - Honors research
In order to have a smooth communication between higher institutions and companies who are doing a research, an effective way to facilitate those communication is needed. In this project the performance, latency and throughput of a couple of load balancers was checked to find the more
reliable and effective load balancer for different conditions in the network. The topology that was used is the SANReN topology and
