Narges Shadab is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Diego with six years of experience bridging research and industry, currently building software at Oracle after a long research tenure at UC Riverside. She holds MS and PhD-level training in computer science and has interned at Microsoft and Uber, blending deep academic rigor with practical engineering at scale. Narges is an active back-end contributor to the well-known checker-framework project, improving the Resource Leak Checker to reduce false positives and handle try-with-resources edge cases—work that surfaces her attention to correctness and toolchain robustness. Comfortable navigating both research codebases and production systems, she brings a track record of diagnosing subtle bugs (including ClassCastException scenarios) and encoding ownership semantics to prevent resource leaks.
