C++ & Scientific Software Development
Expertise in C++ software development spanning over 20 years, including design and implementation of data reduction frameworks, detection and tracking algorithms for orbital objects from optical telescope imagery, robotic telescope interfaces, and high-performance scientific data pipelines.
Space Surveillance and Tracking (SSA/SST)
Deep specialisation in Space Situational Awareness and Space Traffic Management, including space debris detection, object segmentation, astrometry, photometry, and telescope interfaces. Principal developer of the GENDARED framework used within the ESA/EU SST ecosystem.
Computer Vision & AI
Proficiency in computer vision technologies including OpenCV, OpenGL, WebGL, Qt, Halcon, and YoLo, combined with AI and machine learning tools such as CUDA, TensorFlow, PyTorch, LLM, and agentic systems, applied to industrial quality control, real-time detection, and astronomical image analysis.
Python & Multi-Language Programming
Solid command of Python, Java, JavaScript/Node.js, Fortran, and HTML5/CSS, enabling full-stack scientific and web application development across diverse environments.
Data Backend & Algorithm Design
Strong background in algorithm design, numerical analysis, data modelling, SQL, MongoDB, TCP/IP, multi-threading, WebSocket, and WebRTC for robust backend and data processing systems.
Hardware & Embedded Systems
Experience with microcontrollers, CAN Bus programming, motor control (B&R), sensors, and camera drivers, applied in industrial automation and transportation access control systems.
GNU/Linux & Systems Administration
Competence in GNU/Linux administration, network administration, Windows, and Android environments, supporting deployment and maintenance of scientific and industrial software systems.
Observational Astrophysics & Data Reduction
Over 20 years of experience in observational astrophysics, scientific data processing, astronomical data reduction frameworks, spectroscopy, photometry, and faint-object analysis from telescope image acquisition to archiving.
Web Development & Databases
Development of web interfaces and databases using JavaScript, PHP, HTML, SQL, MongoDB, and WebGL, including scientific data visualisation platforms and document exchange systems.
