2017 - 2018Google- Participated in the design and implementation of an ML-based tool for automatically suggesting fixes for Java compilation errors using neural machine translation. The tool learns from errors developers make and the way they fix the errors.
- Created a scalable Java type refactoring tool for ultra-large-scale mono repositories through a MapReduce design that made multiple passes over the code to collect type information and perform in-code refactoring.
- Added bug patterns for the Error Prone framework, an open-source compile-time static bug checker.
