Personal Details

Bio

I specialized in software process improvements. I worked several years on analyzing software systems and software development process with the aim to improve the status quo. For the past 5 years, I have been working with several product teams, such as Office, Windows, Exchange and Visual Studio at Microsoft to better optimize their software development practices such as code reviews, testing and software compilation. I use a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques such as interviews, observations, surveys, as well as data mining and data analysis techniques to make teams more efficient and productive when it comes to software testing and code reviewing.

I hold a PhD degree in Software Engineering, and a Master and a Bachelor degree in Computer Science.

Keynote: On to Code Reviews – Lessons Learned at Microsoft

I gave this keynote about how Code Reviews are done at Microsoft and which measures we take to improve the code review practice (productivity and value of the practice) at the International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology in Portugal, Lisbon, 2016.

Keynote: Data driven software engineering – Can we change what we can measure?

In this keynote, I highlight which measurements make sense in the field of software engineering and which pitfalls should be avoided. I gave this keynote at the International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology in Portugal, Giumares, 2014.

Code review practices

I gave 35+ highly technical talks at international software engineering conferences. Some of them have been about my experiences improving and analyzing code review practices.

Software Testing

I gave 35+ highly technical talks at international software engineering conferences. One of my cornerstone topics is automated software testing. I cover related testing topics from test suite optimizations through test reduction to test case maintainability.
