Software is a human product. Developers are intrinsic to software development; as systems scale in size and complexity, the challenges that developers must overcome rapidly increase. I believe that by better understanding how people create, explore, evolve, and reason about software systems, we can enhance developers' effectiveness and improve the quality of their systems.
My past projects have investigated a range of problems surrounding software reuse, software search, context-sensitive example location, and API understanding. I am currently focusing on awareness in large teams and extending traditional source code editors.
I believe that including developers of all ranges of experience is essential to effectively investigating how people think about software; I inform and evaluate my research by engaging these developers through surveys, controlled experiments, design sessions, and case studies.
