Education
I completed my MSc in Computer Science, with a specialisation in Operations Research, in June 2010 at the University of Nantes, France.
In June 2008, I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science from the same university.
Internship
I did my internship at the university of Vienna, Chair of Production and Logistics, under the tutelage of Dr. Karl F. Doerner. The subject was Optimisation of Outpatient visiting tours with time windows.
Career
I have nearly two years IT industry experience from working with Capgemini Technology Services in France, and 5 months startup experience with finderly and shpock.
In addition, during my studies I came to work with Bolldorf OG ®, a company here in Vienna, for two summers, and part-time during my internship, for a total of 10 months. My Operations Research background was very useful over this period because of the nature of the projects I was working on.
Where you can find me
Excel parser
As part of a larger web project I created a backend utility that was capable of extracting the data from an excel file and inserting it into a MySQL database, while matching the data against a set of rules for validity.
Benchmarking showed that it could deal with 27000 rows in 1m30, including insertion.
