About

  • PhD student in Computer Science at George Mason University
  • Working at SAGE lab led by Dr. Kevin Moran
  • Current research projects are focused on developing automated approaches to help facilitate Ethical Software Design, Software Evolution, and Software Accessibility
  • 5+ years of professional experience in Software Development

I enjoy working for solving real life problems, and not opinionated on tools and technology stack. I am a self motivated & well organized team player. When I am not working - I am a complete family man. I like to watch movies, read books and play with my kid :-)
