I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway, University of London in the group of Prof. Alberto Paccanaro, currently supported by the Newton International Fellowship. This site is sort of my personal homepage - if you are interested in stuff related to my research, take a look at my academic site instead.
I also used to work as a visiting research assistant at Kingston University, a part-time Matlab programmer at Birkbeck College, Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development and I spent half a year as a C++ programmer and research engineer at Last.fm. I mostly work in C, C++, Python and PHP, but I am also fairly confident in Java, R and Matlab. I use Git, Bazaar and Subversion (approximately in this order of preference); I switched from Windows to Linux (Debian, then Ubuntu) way before the dawn of time, then I switched again to Mac OS X a while ago, but I still kept Linux as my primary working environment at the university. Vim is my editor of choice, but I can't live without Eclipse.org when it comes to Java development.
In the rare moments when I have some free time, I play guitar (I have a cheap Johnson semi-acoustic and a not-so-cheap-but-not-expensive-at-all Ibanez GRX-170 electric one), sometimes I write instrumental songs or search for tupperware boxes in the wild with multi-billion dollar satellite equipment. The latter is better known as geocaching.
