Research Trainee
I designed and implemented a traffic monitoring system based on digital twin technology. This system detects and counts vehicles in real-time, monitors traffic pollution, and measures environmental parameters. This experience allowed me to specialize in creating, querying, and managing digital twins. I also gained expertise in general-purpose and synthetic sensing techniques, as well as in reverse digital twin creation.
Software Engineer
As a full-stack developer, I have participated in various projects involving both web-based and desktop applications. I have gained expertise with front-end frameworks such as Angular, and I have experience optimizing systems to improve their performance and efficiency. Additionally, I possess a strong understanding of threading and parallelism in programming languages such as C#. I know how to utilize SQL bulk functions to streamline database operations.
