Professional Profile

I am an highly curious and energetic engineering that has over 6 years of experience problem solving processes in a wide range of fields such as engineering, computational biology and clinical medicine. My main passion is to uncover uncertainties and in optimizing technology and production using diverse tools related to programming, engineering and mathematics. While I have expanded my problem solving experience in mathematical modeling, I never lost the sight of my engineering way of thinking, and the importance of optimizing communication and team performance. My recent experiences have increased my ability to synthesize information fast and thus capable of adapting rapidly to different technology and scenarios.
