WORKS

06.2017 - Current

Research assistant

CIBM (Biomedical Investigation Center), and IMUDS (Mixed Institute of

Sport and Health). Physiology department of University of Granada

In these centers I'm gaining experience in wet laboratory practices.

The main task is aiding a PhD student on her lab work which consist

on taking blood samples from children and passing on a series of

test such as DEXA scans and Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis assay.

It also include some non wetlab work, where my contribution reside,

with statistical analysis done in R and SPSS, consulting in general

IT practices such as databases, optimizing the code, and so on.

The project is about the effects of a gluten-free diet on a children

population with with the celiac disease. You can find more

information about the projects here:

01.2016 - Current

Developer and technical support.

Gimnasio Galaxy

While applying to several PHD and research positions, I began

working in this family gym.

In here I'm developing a program to assign exercises to clients

which helps trainers design tailored routines, and clients to

understand and follow the everyday diet and training. Similar

programs already exist, such as TrainingGym or Muscle&Motion, but

our aim is to create a much precise and detailed database of

exercises, where you can follow not only the muscle group, but also

the synergists, antagonists, dynamic stabilizers, and be able to

design each exercise to work or avoid each muscle, in order to help

a much more precise training to prevent injuries or to help

recovering from them. The program is being developed in Qt and C++.

I'm also maintaining the website, gimnasiogalaxy.es, and teaching

the workers how to update and make changes for them to become

independent and been able to run the site without need of an

external worker. I'm also educating them into safe computer

practices, such as avoid malware sites, general hardware

maintenance, teaching the wonders of open source and free software

that come with zero cost in licenses, and much more.

Apart from IT work; I also do substitutions as instructor in groups

training classes of cross-training and HIIT (high intensity interval

training) and boxing classes, general sport and nutrition

counselling, accounting and statistical models to forecast gain and

losses, video editing for marketing and supporting other training

groups of zumba and spinning, plus other internal video usage,

translator for foreign gym members or potential clients, and

reception work including sales.

09.2014 - 12.2015

Research assistant.

Computational Biology Unit, Institutt for informatikk

AmpliCan, an NGS analysis tool for high throughput screening of

candidate mutants.

I began researching CRISPR/Cas9 induced mutations. In order to

evaluate such mutations we created AmpliCan. This tools take

sequences from experiments and analyze the alignments of the mutants

with the amplicon. Depending on your desire parameter it will tell

you the success of the mutation and generate a complete web report

with the results summarized, as well as the complete data for detail

analysis.

Other similar tools only allow for small samples; this one can take

enormous batch of data and works really fast. The application was

done using R, C++, Python and HTML5; and the invaluable

collaboration of the Molecular Biology Department of both Harvard

and the University College London.

Packages are available at Bitbucket:

(https://bitbucket.org/valenlab/amplican) and soon to be published

at CRAN and Bioconductor.

Starting on 2013 I was hired by different students as private

teacher to help them understand several fields of several subjects.

Database designer

Quantidoc AS - University of Bergen

During Summer of 2013 I was fixing and redesigning the entire

database for this laboratory. The previous admin was a person with

limited knowledge of databases, SQL, or mathematics; as a result the

logic behind the entire system was in complete chaos, failing to

satisfy even the first normal form.

I created the database, triggers, populated the tables with examples

and left a few tutorials and examples on how to make the graphical

windows for all the functions. After that a biology student

continued administrating the database and finishing the graphic

interface.
