I graduated in 2008 with a Master Degree in Astrophysics from Strasbourg university (France). In addition to the theoretical physics I have learned, I have acquired robust mathematical and IT knowledge. I am levering at best this scientific and academic background in my daily activities, allowing me to think out the box and have a structured approach to problem solving. With excellent knowledge on shell scripting (ksh, bash) and Perl, I am working comfortably in Linux / Unix environment (Redhat, Centos, Ubuntu).
I am interested in expanding my professional horizons by seeking new challenges in the area of Big-data, where my academical background in data analysis, my proven experience in IT consulting, and my analytic and deductive skills are outstanding assets in such an exciting and emerging technology.
