About Me
🚀 Actively seeking a Summer 2026 internship.
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at George Mason University specializing in software engineering. My research focuses on improving the speed and reliability of software testing and continuous integration using empirical methods and large language models (LLMs). I work on problems such as flaky test analysis, and test execution optimization
