Education

I recently got my MSc degree in computer science, in which I have implemented recommendation systems (e.g., SVD matrix factorization) using java/python, plus a competitive search engine using C++. Before that, as an intern, I have developed real data crawlers using python and worked with a genetic-programming framework in C++. In my first work experience, I was responsible for leading a team of programmers developing a PHP intranet-like solution. I am also interested in startups, so I worked on a few ideas, such as an crowd-sourced menu and a personalized night event recommender, in which I was part of the development team.
