I am a rare blend of
software engineering
and
graphics design, with a twist for programming
languages. With so many information available today,
we need support for understanding and using this
information appropriately.
As images can mean more than a 1,000 words,
interfaces can change the way people think and look at things.
I create these interfaces that
help turn data into information.
In Depth
I can turn ideas, concepts, structures and
datasets into clear, visually appealing,
educating illustrations.
I can create interactive visualizations of
data that can help you to better understand
your data and become your critical
decision-making tool
I can create clean, productive, versatile
interfaces that will present the information
better and help you realize your tasks
better.
I can dig your datasets and extract the
diamonds in the rough. I can write programs
that will give you insights into these
obscure masses of numbers.
I can find solutions to your data storage
problems: make it faster, store more, get
more relevant information. I can explain you
why, show you how and turn it into software.
I have been writing Python programs since
2000 and wrote many open-source programs in
this language. No difficult problem scares
me when I have Python at hand.
I can configure, adapt and theme Drupal,
the de-facto standard open-source
CMS, to meet your requirements, from small
to important projects.
