Master Thesis

At ELCA, large-scale code migrations and refactorings—like upgrading frameworks or moving legacy apps to modern stacks—are time-consuming and repetitive, yet hard to fully automate.

In this internship, you'll explore how LLMs can help automate code migration, producing idiomatic, maintainable code while iteratively fixing errors through testing and refinement. You'll build on ELCA's prototypes and experiment with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and agent-assisted workflows to create a Proof-of-Concept for a real migration project.

Objectives

• Survey existing tools and techniques for LLM-based code migration
• Implement a Proof-of-Concept using ELCA's prototypes, LLMs, and iterative workflows
• Evaluate where LLMs are effective and when hand-crafted solutions are better

What we offer

• Collaborative, international, tech-driven environment
• Real impact: help improve large-scale software migration pr...
