About

I am a dedicated and passionate PhD candidate in computer science with a strong focus on scientific computing and computational mathematics. My expertise spans a full-stack approach from high-level modeling to low-level arithmetic implementation details. I am proficient in programming languages such as Julia, Matlab, Chapel, C, C++, and Python, and have a particular interest in developing efficient code for complex mathematical problems. My work includes contributions to open source projects like IntervalLinearAlgebra.jl, and I am actively involved in the JuliaIntervals organization. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a solid foundation in numerical methods, computational algebraic geometry, and positioning algorithms. Currently, I work as a Julia Software Developer and Symbolic Computing Researcher at PlantingSpace, and as a Project Researcher at the University of Vaasa. My responsibilities include leading research projects, teaching graduate-level courses, and supervising master's theses. I have also held research positions at Aalto University, Lund University, and Tampere University, where I focused on a variety of computational methods and numerical techniques. My diverse background includes experience in project management, leadership, and team collaboration. I thrive on challenges and am always eager to learn and expand my network through meaningful collaborations and innovative projects.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
