I am a Researcher at the Software Technology group at TU Darmstadt. I am primarily interested in building Software tools to help developer productivity. Formerly, I was involved with refactoring tools for clone management and data representation migration during my PhD, and building DSLs and IDEs for domain experts in automotive industry during my stint at Itemis. Currently, I am interested in API misuses and exploring the use of AI (deep learning/ transformers) for coding tasks like code completion, vulnerability detection.
