About Me
I am a researcher specializing in Software Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). My work focuses on understanding how developers make and work with design decisions, and identifying the challenges they encounter in this process. I am dedicated to developing tools and approaches that assist developers in documenting, adhering to, and discovering design decisions.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from George Mason University in May 2024, under the supervision of Dr. Thomas LaToza in the Developer Experience Design Lab.
