Magazine Editorials.

I write the monthly Spotlight on Transactions column for IEEE Computer and serve on the editorial team for the AI Security & Privacy section of IEEE Security & Privacy. The goal is amplification, not summary — surface the field’s most important journal papers in software engineering and put them in front of an audience that would otherwise never find them, in a form a busy reader can absorb in fifteen minutes.
