I am an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Alberta. I head the Analytics of Software, GAmes And Repository Data (ASGAARD) labcd . Before that I was working as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Software Analysis and Intelligence Lab (SAIL) at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada under the supervision of prof. Ahmed E. Hassan. My research interests cover a wide variety of software engineering and performance engineering related topics, including repository mining, computer games, performance regression analysis and performance testing. I was born in The Hague (Den Haag) in the Netherlands, where I have lived for 30 years. I studied at Delft University of Technology, where I received my BSc (2007), MSc (2009) and PhD (2014) degree in Computer Science. The title of my PhD thesis was "Performance Optimization of Multi-Tenant Software Systems" (supervised by dr. Andy Zaidman and prof. dr. Arie van Deursen).

My research focuses on helping software developers understand the consequences of their code changes on the performance their application. In general, developers are not aware of these consequences. I am trying to bridge the gap between software and performance engineering to help them become aware.
In addition, I am interested in mining software repositories, log analysis, software bugs, mobile apps and software engineering in general.
I have (had) the pleasure of co-supervising the following students:
I was born in 1984 in The Hague, in the Netherlands. I am married since April 2018 to Nadia. In my free time, I enjoy woodworking and going to the gym. I am passionate about everything strength sports-related. Over the past years I was a competitor in Strongman and Highland games.
