Graduate Student Researcher
Davis, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClaudio Spiess is a PhD candidate and graduate student researcher at UC Davis with nine years of software and machine learning experience focused on ML for software engineering (ML4SE). He has led empirical research into LLM calibration for code tasks and crafted datasets and models for program synthesis, code retrieval, and code similarity, with first-author publications at ICSE'25 and FSE'23 SRC. Claudio combines deep-learning engineering (PyTorch, HuggingFace, Accelerate) with strong data-analysis skills (Pandas, scikit-learn, NumPy) and production experience deploying ML services and observability tooling on AWS and GCP. Earlier roles as a software engineer and intern sharpened his full-stack instincts—building Rails/React apps, REST APIs, and visualization tools for embeddings—while also reducing technical debt at scale. He blends rigorous academic methodology with production-minded solutions and a knack for turning dynamic analysis artifacts into practical code-retrieval systems.
