Biography

By conducting formative studies, building tools based on the findings, and then evaluating the effect that those tools have on software developers’ work, his research aims to bridge the gap between the capabilities of tools and how software developers actually use them. He received his PhD from Portland State University in 2009 and is BS from The Evergreen State College in 2001.
