Biography

My research is at the forefront of software development, with a particular emphasis on creating adaptive frameworks that evolve in real-time to meet dynamic user needs. I am leading initiatives in areas such as transient microservice orchestrations and multi-instance software deployment. My work is driven by a deep interest in integrating user-specific intentions, contexts, and emotions (ICE) into software systems to deliver personalized and responsive solutions.

I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of software engineers and have a strong commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the research community. My collaborations span multiple continents, with active research partnerships in India, Italy, and Australia, resulting in numerous high-impact publications and successful project outcomes. As I continue to push the boundaries of Software Engineering, I am eager to connect with professionals, researchers, and organizations that share a vision for innovative, user-centric software solutions.
