About

I currently combine my scientific background with my software engineering skills, and apply them to high-end R&D projects. My specialities are data analysis, software engineering, and clear communication of complex subjects.

I am fluent in R and Python, and comfortable programming IDL, Fortran and Bash. In addition, I have some experience in C++ and JavaScript.

In addition, my bitbucket account contains a number of software projects I worked on. For a more complete breakdown of my career path until now, I refer to my linkedin profile.
