Through the months of May-September of 2024, I was able to work under a professor of Software Engineering to research the habits of software developers when consulting ChatGPT to help refactor their code. We specifically focused on how effective of a tool ChatGPT turned out to be for the developers in the dataset, and what seemed to be the best methods developers employed when prompting ChatGPT to get a satisfying result. My research team published a website delving further into our methodology and results, which can be found at this Link

My responsibilities as an Undergraduate Research Assitant included:

• Reviewing hundreds of lines of code written by ChatGPT after being prompted by programmers to study their code when refactoring.
• Utilizing Microsoft Excel to organize our findings and create detailed plots/graphs of our results.
• Developing and structuring innovative taxonomies to effectively display research findings to a general audience

Since January of 2025, I serve as my fraternity's President, which has sharpened my communication techniques and enhanced my ability to develop and implement effective protocols for managing a large team..

My responsibilities as the President include:
