🦜 Welcome to my personal webpage! You are either lost or just interested in how I’m doing. 😊 For those who do not know me, let me briefly introduce myself…
I am a Data Scientist and Analyst with a PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Chemistry from the University of Barcelona.
💼 My career spans academic research, data analytics in the humanitarian sector, and innovative data science in the automotive industry, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise.
🧬 My research has explored the fields of Structural Biology, focusing on Molecular Dynamics of DNA and proteins, Quantum Mechanics calculations, drug discovery, force-field parameterization, and experimental validation.
As I’m on a journey to become a serious Data Scientist, I am regularly sharing posts and know-hows on my blogs and posts about my projects and discoveries. The final aim? Becoming a true full-stack Data Wizard one day :)
Here are some of my selected work experiences —
Product Data Manager in UX RnD unit of Continental, Serbia
As a Data Manager within Continental’s R&D User Experience unit, I am immersed in the dynamic world of data analytics, focusing on Manufacturing Execution System (MES) data on AWS and Oracle across the whole R&D domains, from Mechanical Engineering to Optical and Display Technologies. My mission? To wield the potent force of data, crafting actionable insights that resonate with not just leadership and clientele, but engineers as well, meticulously sculpted into captivating narratives through the lens of Power BI. But my journey doesn’t stop there. Fuelled by an unyielding commitment to innovation, I lead the charge in pioneering state-of-the-art algorithms using Computer Vision, poised to revolutionize early-stage defect detection within the manufacturing arena. Guided by a relentless pursuit of excellence and an unwavering desire to push the boundaries of possibility in data analytics, I flourish in an ecosystem where data-driven decision-making reigns supreme.
Researcher in Computational Biology in Prof. Orozco’s Lab, Barcelona, Spain
My academic background lies in unlocking the secrets of DNA through computational biology. Ever wondered how drugs are designed to target DNA? That’s where my journey began! As a PhD in Bioinformatics, I wasn’t dissecting DNA in a lab (although that’s pretty cool too), but diving into the world of computer simulations. My specialty? Fine-tuning programs to understand how DNA moves and interacts with proteins. Think of it as creating super accurate movies of DNA in action! This not only helps us grasp how DNA works in different environments, but also plays a key role in designing new drugs. On top of my PhD research, I’ve been involved in various projects, even scoring a publication in the famous Nature Methods journal (check out my Publications tab for more!). To expand my horizons, I also visited Dr. Kool’s lab at Stanford, where I got to collaborate with the pharmaceutical industry. So, yeah, I’m passionate about using computers to unlock the mysteries of DNA and advance medical science – all in a day’s work!
Data Analyst in International Committee of the Red Cross, Geneva/Amman/Damascus/Jerusalem/Caracas
After my scientific career, my path took a different turn – the world of humanitarian aid! Working for the ICRC as a Data Analyst and Data Manager Lead in the Protection unit was an incredible experience. I wasn’t crunching numbers on Wall Street, but diving deep into data from around the world both remotely and on-site in places like Geneva, Syria, Palestine, and Venezuela. This data came from real people in real need, and my job was to make sure it was handled securely while also being readily available. Think building reports and dashboards that helped both aid workers on the ground and colleagues back at HQ make informed decisions, fast. It was all about using data to help the ICRC reach those who needed it most. In short, using my data skills to make a real difference in some of the world’s toughest situations.
