Research Intern - Machine Intelligence
At Apple AI/ML, I worked on prototypes and features to improve the developer experience. Shipped improved Swift code completion in Xcode and designed an syntactic code search algorithm published at PLDI'24.
Research Intern
Worked with the PROSE team (mentored by Titus Barik) on improving developer productivity in Visual Studio Code. I interviewed developers to elicit their needs for code transformation tools in editors. Inspired by the empirical data and relevant work in program synthesis, I designed reCode, an interaction model for rapidly performing complex code transformation using the familiar find-and-replace experience, published at UIST'21.
Research Assistant
Penrose is a system that automatically visualizes mathematics using two domain-specific languages: Substance and Style. Co-advised by Jonathan Aldrich, Keenan Crane, Joshua Sunshine, and Katherine Ye, I designed and implemented the Style language, and extended the Substance language to support functions and logically quantified statements.
Research Assistant
Worked with prof. Steven Feiner, on Cyber Affordance Visualization in Augumented Reality project. Developed a Microsoft Hololens application that visualizes the Columbia campus in AR environment.
