Hello! I am a third-year PhD student in Technology and Social Behavior at Northwestern University. I am advised by Aaron Shaw and Darren Gergle as a member of the Community Data Science Collective and the CollabLab.
My research primarily focuses on developer collaboration and governance within free and open source software projects. I am interested in how project engineering procedures impact conversations surrounding technical decision-making, software security risk, and the solicitation of new contributions. So far, I have primarily used computational methods in my research work.
I enjoy going for jogs, reading books, this painting, and watching movies.
