Professional Experience

Junior Data Analyst - Philip Morris International, 2016
Development of a Matlab tool for the automatic analysis of ciliary beating videos. The tool extracts key features such as tissue activity and main beating frequency with higher accuracy than prior methods.

Software Engineering Intern - AdNovum, 2015
I worked on a mobile payment app, implementing several parts of the iOS version in Objective-C.
