Über mich

I am a passionate software engineer/algorithms developer with a PhD in scientific computing and extensive experience developing both R&D and enterprise scale applications in genomics, robotics, physics and forensics. I love to design and implement challenging software development projects from start to finish, from requirements gathering, architecture, design, development of complex algorithms all the way to implementing and testing the code. What I like in particular are complex scientific applications that need to be intelligent and require good visualizations and user interaction components. My strengths include efficiency and my capability to understand and solve complex problems quickly while at the same time keeping things simple and being able to keep both the immediate and future needs in mind. I am very self-driven and easy to motivate, and I find it easy to work independently while taking on full responsibilities.
