I am a Computer Scientist with a background in academia and industry. My journey began as an Assistant Lecturer at Iliria College for 3.3 years during my Master’s at the University of Prishtina in Prishtina, followed by a significant role founding and leading the IT team at Albi Group, a Product Distribution Company in Kosova, for 6.5 years.

In 2017, I earned a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering specializing in Handling Variability at the Code Level from Université Côte d’Azur in Nice under the supervision of Prof. Philippe Collet. Subsequently, I spent two years as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Sorbonne Université in Paris, continuing my research on Software Variability and co-leading a work package in an EU project on Round-trip Engineering and Variability Management.

From October 2020 to August 2023, I worked as a Research Engineer at Université de Rennes in Rennes, focusing on Software Variability, Software Build, and Debloating highly-configurable software systems.

My academic and practical background supports my ongoing development in the field of software engineering, where I continue to both learn and contribute.
