Background
Before joining the University of Nebraska Omaha, I worked as a Software Engineer at Neural Semiconductor Limited, where I contributed to backend development and software engineering projects. This industry experience informs my research interest in real-world software development practices and developer collaboration.
I am always open to discussing research ideas related to software engineering, developer communities, NLP, and human-centered computing.
