ABOUT ME
Astrophysicist with 20 years of experience in computational physics.
Astrophysicist with 20 years of experience in computational physics.
I'm an astrophysicist (working as an exoplanet researcher) with a background in Solar System and exoplanet research. My main areas of coding expertise are in Python (NumPy, SciPy, Numba, Pandas, Arviz, Matplotlib) and Fortran (parallelisation using OpenMP and MPI). I also have experience in OpenCL for GPU computations, and C and C++.
I had my first taste to programming by toying around with small BASIC programs for VIC-20 and C-64 as a kid in late 80's and early 90's. Later, in mid-90's, I learnt Pascal, from where I moved to C and C++. I also learnt some Java in the early 00's, but for the last 20 years I've mostly used Python and Fortran.

PyTransit is an open-source Python package for exoplanet transit modelling I have developed starting from 2009. It has been widely adopted by the exoplanet research community (the package has been used in over 120 peer-reviewed publications), and I continue developing it based on my own scientific needs and input from the community.
