About

At Oracle, I help evolve the Java programming language through language design, the JEP process, javac implementation, and authorship of the Java Language Specification. My current work focuses on pattern matching and broader language evolution under Project Amber.

Previously, I worked on the Scala 3 compiler as a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL with Martin Odersky. I earned my PhD at the University of Athens under Yannis Smaragdakis, where my research focused on programming languages and high-performance stream processing, with publications at POPL, OOPSLA, and ECOOP.
