We investigated the occurrence of vulnerabilities in Chromium's commit and review system history. I created a developer network to represent the collaborations between developers. Multiple graphs were created as "snapshots", each relating to a two-month period which followed release cycles. Within each graph we collected data on developer degree, centrality, and various metrics about a developer's individual activity. This data was used to generate correlations for the purpose of investigating how developer engagement may change over time, and how developer engagement can connect to vulnerabilities or bugs entering the chromium project. Worked primarily with Python and PostgreSQL, some exposure to Ruby/rails. ### Explorer Intern @ Microsoft Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Redmond, Washington "Power BI" before it was Power BI!
