Summary
Software engineer, with solid background in Science (MSc. Physics), and more than 8 years of experience in high performance computing and big data processing systems.
I am passionate about both software development and science, and enjoy to be part of projects that are pushing for major breakthroughs.
As a software developer I have been in touch with many technologies (C++, Python, Matlab, Simulink, MPI, OpenMP, CORBA, Perl, Bash, PHP, Fortan, C#, VBA), and all phases of the development lifecycle.
