I work in the intersection of Machine Learning and Programming Languages for modernizing and mainitaining cloud-native applications. Prior to this, I was Post doctoral fellow at Columbia University working with Dr. Baishakhi Ray where my research explored the ways in which Machine Learning can be used to trigger, detect, and repair various problem across the software lifecycle.

I obtained my PhD at NC State University, guided by Dr. Tim Menzies. I worked on actionable analytics for software engineering. I created algorithms that go beyond prediction to provide insights that might help developers make better decisions. I focused on data mining approaches (e.g., transfer learning) that can create insights even when there isn’t enough data.
