Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeheliya Gallaba is a senior engineer and researcher with 15 years of experience specializing in mining large-scale software engineering data (GitHub, StackOverflow, TravisCI) to improve continuous integration and delivery. He blends academic rigor—a PhD in Software Engineering from McGill and research roles at Microsoft Research and UBC—with hands-on product engineering at companies like Huawei and Wise Systems, shipping features and reliability improvements. His work spans data science for software engineering, functional programming, and developer tool-building, and includes full‑stack contributions to notable open-source projects such as Crawljax. Comfortable across Java, JavaScript/Node, and build tooling, he also brings practical CI acceleration experience from industry collaborations like YourBase. A less obvious strength is his background in both teaching and vulnerability-signature systems, giving him a rare mix of communication, security-aware engineering, and empirical research skills.
