Skills:

I have demonstrable experience in imaging technologies including digital image processing and analysis, biomedical imaging, image segmentation and in developing automated systems for high-throughput experiments.

I have approximately fourteen years work experience in MATLAB and programming languages C, C++, C#, Java and Linux, and also in web design using HTML, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL with experience to use front-end and back-end frameworks such as React, Vue.js and Laravel. I have good work experience in computer systems development for both windows and web applications.

I have twelve years teaching experience, I have been involved in teaching subjects as Image Processing, Information Security and Ethical Hacking, Multimedia, Database, Web Technologies, Web Programming, Information and communication Technology, Operating Systems and Graphic Design.

I work daily with Microsoft Office (Access, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Publisher, Outlook, Front pages, MS Project).

I worked as an IT support officer for six years and also as a geologist for five years.

I consider myself a hardworking, honest and dedicated individual, who always works towards and achieves deadlines in all the projects in which I have participated.
