Given enough time and energy, anything is possible.
I have a PhD degree in Computer Engineering. I possess strong theoretical knowledge of Computer Engineering due to my work experience in academia. I also possess research-focused software development skills. I have completed two funded and numerous research and personal software projects.
I always find new and challenging problems intriguing. It drives me to research different topics in academic life, and I only wish to make something more meaningful. My research interests include machine learning, optimization, evolutionary algorithms, usable security, and wireless sensor networks.
I am a highly motivated person and a fast learner. I can easily adapt myself to any project. I highly value project time schedules and meet project deadlines, even under pressure. Moreover, being positive in personal communications and handling positive criticism well are the two most important topics, according to my students in my class evaluation reports.
Technical skills:
I am naturally a Java developer. I have been using Python for the past couple of years in my research studies. In addition, I have got hands-on-experience in both supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques. I have applied these techniques with different programming languages, such as Python (and its libraries), MATLAB, and WEKA. Also, I am fluent in data processing, i.e., retrieving and combining data from multiple sources and in many different formats (numerical, categorical, text, etc.). I also possess web and mobile development skills.
