What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying rigorous data analysis and scientific programming in collaborative, international teams that prioritize reproducibility, impact, and opportunities for technical growth.

I am an MSc graduate in astrophysics with hands-on experience in data analysis, scientific programming, and presenting results to international audiences. I combine strong analytical thinking with a careful, accountable approach to ensuring the correctness and impact of my analyses.

In research and internship roles, I developed Python algorithms, built large-scale statistical models, and optimized simulation workflows using parallel processing on high-performance remote servers. I validated results through extensive testing and presented findings at international conferences.

As a teaching assistant and conference technical support, I organized classes, co-developed and graded examinations for master-level courses, and managed live AV operations for large scientific meetings. I excel at coordinating with diverse teams and resolving technical issues in real time.

I am motivated to apply my technical and communication skills in data-driven roles that value rigorous analysis, reproducible code, and collaborative problem-solving across international teams.
