Broadly, I am interested in developer productivity and helping developers write better code.

Currently, I am a researcher at GitHub, where I lead a team focused on improving the quality of completions in GitHub Copilot. GitHub Copilot delivers ML-powered, multi-line code completions in popular IDEs such as VS Code, Visual Studio, and IntelliJ.

Previously, I led the Java Tools and JVM teams at Google. While at Google, I worked on:

• Error Prone, Google’s static analysis tool for Java
• Tricorder, Google’s static analysis platform
• Bazel, Google’s build system
