ABOUT
Hi! I'm Darren, an aspiring software engineer! I'm a first-generation student at Emory University pursuing a degree in Computer Science. My main research areas are in Conversation AI and Program Synthesis. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, playing tennis, and trying new foods with friends!

Projects
Code Semantic Modeling
Led development of the Code Semantic Agent project at Google Labs, a graph-based agentic framework that enables downstream code agents to efficiently navigate, interact, and understand large complex codebases with Gemini.
We leverage Code Syntax Trees and the stack-graphs algorithm to create a mapping of programmatic entities and their relationships. Using CodeSEA, we curate SFT datasets tailored for coding tasks to fine tune internal code models and implement new AI code features across products like Jules, Gemini in Colab, Android Studio, and Android Studio.
This project was conducted in close collaboration with senior researchers, engineers, and product managers from Google AI Development Assistance (AIDA), Labs, Gemini, DeepMind (GDM), and UX.
