And last but definitely most exciting—I visited my family after 10 months! They’ve always been my greatest support and source of peace. Spending time with them has been healing and the perfect end to an incredible August 2024! (7/7)

And then, I suddenly found myself in the beautiful city of Baku! The city’s vibrant nights and the approved US visa made all the hectic last-minute planning worthwhile. Bottom line: I’ll be at ASE’24 in person—come find me for a chat if you’re there! (6/7)

We also said happy goodbyes to an amazing mentor and friend, @mahmood_alfadel. He started his postdoc when I began my PhD and quickly became part of what makes SWAG special. Sad to see him go, but excited for his future at UCalgary! Best of luck, BIG BOSS—we’ll miss you! (5/7)

On July 31st, right before August began, I took my comprehensive II exam. After months of juggling deadlines and event plannings, it all paid off, and my research proposal presentation went perfectly smooth! Another milestone—I’m officially a PhD candidate now! (2/7)

And here’s to the 2023 wrap-up🎉 Rebels of the @SoftwareREBELs and the members of the SWAG lab ended their year with another EOY dinner and a round of Secret Santa, symbolizing “work hard, play hard(er?)”. Let’s make 2024 a wonderful year of friendship, growth, and discoveries.

I love it when I get explained the logic behind a criticism of my work. That moment when you see things in another light and learn a new lesson, even if it’s the hard way.

Working on a draft for the past 4 months has been… quite a challenge. It certainly helps to know I’m not alone in the struggle… #phdlife
Having to write paralyzes many junior academics. 3 days ago, I read an article called Draft No. 4. John McPhee, a non-fiction legend, wrote it. Here are 9 things I learned from it about writing: 1. Writing is difficult by default Writing is inherently challenging.

Shocking stats that only 5% of build changes have discussions by @shane_mcintosh at the #GerritUserSummit 2023 at @gerritforge in @CityofSunnyvale live at https://t.co/HzQ7Q8hGOs

#Melbourne has been wonderfully nice and adventurous so far. Had an unforgettable couple of days exploring. Next up is @msrconf, starting today, and then the very exciting @ICSEconf where I’ll present two of our publications. (1/3)
