Angellina Joyce Paul developed TraceFind, a local Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system designed to identify discrepancies between code documentation and actual implementation. The tool indexes codebases and documentation, enabling users to ask natural language questions and receive answers with precise file and line citations.
