I have a diverse background which includes significant experience in real time programming. I have a Master of Science degree in Geological Engineering with an emphasis in computer modeling as well as field experience in a number of topics. I believe that my scientific education and field experience allows me to a have better understanding of data, how it is interpreted and how my clients want to use the data.

I am passionate about technology and have significant experience working with instrumentation and determining software specifications, designing and writing, real-time data acquisition, control and analysis programs in Object Oriented languages (Delphi, Object Pascal).

I lead the testing of firmware, software and complete monitoring systems. Many of my programs run systems used for investigations by the National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra) and for monitoring the safety of workers and surrounding structures (the systems must run 24/7, 365).

For visual effects in the movie industry I was part of the team to develop a camera system which takes spherical high-dynamic range (HDR) images. I designed and wrote the software (OOP code) to control the camera system as well as to evaluate the light energy and color distribution of the HDR images to generate the lighting stage data for 3D computer animation and visual effects packages. The system has been used in a number of major film productions such as Underdog, GI-Joe, Narnia and others.

My experience includes working independently as well as in teams. I am skilled at managing teams and projects. My personal characteristics include being self-driven, dedicated, reliable and committed to providing high quality work. I live in Switzerland (Zurich) and have a C-Permit.
