  • Mar 2022 - Present

  As a postdoc researcher, I am working on NODLA, a joint research project between the Department of Computer Science at Karlstad University and three industrial partners(AFRY, TietoEVRY, and Skandia). I play a vital role in identifying and addressing the challenges that arise in these companies' large-scale agile projects. My responsibilities include researching to understand the challenges and identify best practices, communicating findings through publications and presentations, and collaborating with industrial partners to gain practical insights. We also develop guidelines and recommendations for industrial partners on effectively managing and mitigating challenges in large-scale agile development projects. The main aim is to investigate Non-Technical Debt (NTD) to understand the causes leading to the accumulation of NTD, the impacts of NTD, and mitigation strategies in the context of large-scale ASD from professionals' and researchers' perspectives. The project has three main goals: propose a taxonomy and a descriptive model for NTD, investigate how developers’ morale is influenced by NTD, and develop strategies to balance NTD in large-scale ASD.

ITRCP

• Software Developer

  • Mar 2009 - Sep 2012

  As a developer, I designed, built, and maintained websites, web applications and content management systems. I was responsible for both the front-end and back-end coding, using a variety of programming languages such as PHP, JavaScript, HTML, MySQL, jQuery, and CSS. On the front end, I used these languages to create the visual design and layout of the website, ensuring that it is user-friendly and easy to navigate.
