Profile

I enjoy getting insights out of data using programming tools. During my PhD I’ve learned how to approach complex problems and communicate the results to both expert and non-expert audiences. I have strong data wrangling and visualization skills and typically come up with first results sooner than expected. I’m always keen to expand my technical toolkit and learn new concepts to get more angles while tackling a problem.

Tools

  • R (Tidyverse adept, sparklyr, Rmarkdown, …)
  • Python (Monte carlo individual based simulations, Pandas, sklearn, …)
  • SQL (Impala, Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL)
  • MongoDB
  • Spark (SparkSQL, streaming)
  • Jupyter
  • Docker
