I have a multidisciplinary education spanning the fields of Biochemistry (BSc), Bioinformatics (Msc), and Computational Biophysics (PhD) with ~9 years of research experience. Among the topics of my research I have worked mainly on biomedical signal analysis and on the used of advanced theoretical models (classical/quantum) to study large biomolecular systems on simulations that normally required high performance computing facilities.
In the type of research I am usually involved it is also important to make a proficient use of statistical physics algorithms and tools, as well as the capacity to debug and code new methods and data analysis routines. Therefore, I have extensive scientific computing coding experience using languages like linux bash scripting and C/Matlab/R/Python (scipy, pandas,scikit).
For more than a year now, I have been following the developments in data science, big data, and predictive analytics. Consequently I have embarked on an ambitious plan of self-education. In this regard, I have read data science books and I have completed a series of courses and certifications that cover machine learning, statistical inference and regression, text/data/process mining, data clustering, getting/cleaning/exploring data sets, and Big Data programming models (Hadoop, Pyspark). Furthermore, I have improved my skills in data reporting and visualization using R (Rpubs, Shiny-Apps) and Python (Ipython notebooks) as well as creating collaborative environments using virtual machines. Additionally I am also familiar through practice and certification with computer repairing and networking.
In my free time, diving is my favorite thing to do. Playing my acoustic guitar comes second but is still great fun.
