About me
I have completed my PhD degree in Software Engineering at UC Irvine, under the supervision of Dr. Sam Malek and Dr. Joshua Garcia. During my PhD studies, I researched software engineering with a focus on software analysis and testing as well as machine learning for automated software engineering. I found my true passion in utilizing machine learning and NLP techniques to improve developer productivity and automate software engineering tasks. I joined Meta as a Research Scientist working in the Probability team applying machine learning across the stack to improve efficiency for engineers, data scientists, and systems.
