I am a CNRS research scientist in the Software Engineering group of LaBRI (Bordeaux, France). Previously, I was for three years a post-doc researcher in the Software Analysis and Transformation group of CWI (Amsterdam, Netherlands). Before that, I was a pre-doc researcher in the DiverSE group of IRISA (Rennes, France).

My main research interests include:

• Software evolution, libraries, APIs
• Empirical software engineering
• Software language engineering, domain-specific languages
• Exploratory and live programming
• and software engineering as a whole!
