I am Shanto Rahman, a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Software Engineering and Systems at the University of Texas at Austin, advised by August Shi. I completed two research internships at Google and Amazon Web Service (AWS).

I design and build tools that make large-scale software systems more reliable and easier to test. My research prioritizes practical applicability—ensuring innovations are not only efficient in theory, but also usable and reliable in practice. I've developed tools such as: FlakyLens (OOPSLA'25), a fine-tuned LLM that classifies flaky tests by root cause and explains model's prediction, FlakeSync (ICSE'24), an automated approach to repairing async flaky tests; and UTFix (OOPSLA'25), an LLM-powered system for change-aware unit test repair.
