Research Interests
I am fascinated by the programmer's experience. Writing software is an art—it takes practice, study, and the refinement of skill to write successful software. It has been a point of professional study to understand the principles that govern quality software as well as the process through which we learn those principles.How does code evolve? What qualities allow software to keep pace with the changing requirements of the problem it solves? How do human beings comprehend code? What principles promote better organization of thoughts and better software design?
