 Nowadays, I mostly assist in different stages of projects, from planning to writing. Throughout the years, this enabled me to touch on [all kinds of subjects](https://areyde.com/publications/), including serverless computing, embeddings of code, Jupyter notebooks, code completion, code quality, computer science education, psychology of programming, and others.
 It is a great privilege to learn more about these areas from my colleagues. I also still do [academic work](https://areyde.com/academic_work/) like reviewing papers and organizing workshops, as well as occasionally giving classes. 🎓
