"The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize."

– Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

I am currently a scientist at the Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering at the University of Maryland where I am currently studying software safety in mission-critical applications and software process improvements in projects with short time constraints and high requirements volatility.

My interests include studying human-computer interaction in software development to create software development tools and conducting empirical studies of software engineering for software process improvement. I am also interested in studying techniques for improving interest in and the quality of computer science education. I have worked for the National Research Council of Canada and Microsoft Research. I have also conducted empirical studies with product teams at IBM, Sabre Airline Solutions, Tekelec, the Department of Defense, and NASA.
