About

I got my PhD in Computer Science from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT, where I was part of the Software Design Group. For my thesis, I developed Déjà Vu, a platform for rapid assembly of web applications using a new modularity mechanism based on concepts. During my time at MIT, I also applied a new theory of design to explain well-known difficulties users have with the Git version control system and I developed Gitless, a redesign of Git.
