ABOUT ME

Python Engineer, Maths and Physics enthusiast

I have academic and professional knowledge of building scalable, reliable and REST-compliant services. After graduating from Physics, I enrolled in a Masters in Informatics Engineering where I specialised in Formal Methods and further developed my analytical skills and Mathematical toolset.

Python is the programming language I use the most. I have built scientific projects with the NumPy and SciPy packages as well as web apps using Django/Flask. I work with various other web technologies as well (AngularJs, nodeJs, jQuery), using mostly Amazon AWS or Heroku to build fully fledged secure and reliable web apps. I've spoken at PyCon UK 2016 and I'm a Python teacher assistant for Code First: Girls.

Currently, I developing my own products and leading a team of 3 people on my Python consultancy company.

I have built scientific projects with the SciPy stack (numpy, pandas and scikit-learn) as well as web apps using Django/Flask. I am deeply engaged with Python: I use it for my freelance endeavors, I've spoken at PyCon UK 2016 and I'm a Python teacher assistant for Code First: Girls. I'm currently running a Python consultancy where I work with companies to build python tools and applications for their business.

I have a Physics degree (where I learnt continuous math) and a CS minor and some Master courses (where I was exposed to discreet math). My strong mathematical background shaped the way I approach problems. I found that my mathematical mindset is a valuable tool to adapt and thrive to different environments and allows me to find innovative solutions to the challenges at hand.

I've been professionally developing, testing and maintaining micro-services in Scala. I adapt very quickly and that was reflected in the way that I learnt Scala on the job and very soon became independent and in charge of some services and tasks.
