Professional Experience
Currently I am a Research Engineer in the ALPINES team, at Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions (LJLL), part of the Sorbonne Université, under the supervision of Laura Grigogi.
I am working at CRI de Paris (INRIA) on the development and optimization of a highly parallel tensor library (C++) that implements new algorithms designed by the ALPINES team members. It will include new low-rank approximation algorithms and randomization techniques. I'm working too on a new development of a tensor library (Julia) that implements new MPS/MPO structures for computing the DMRG (Density Matrix Renormalization Group) algorithm, that is very useful for quantum chemistry and molecular simulation.
I have also worked in Mexico City:
January 2017 - July 2018 as a C, C++, C#, Java Developer, mainly developing:
- Cryptographic classes and web service development, multi-threaded applications optimization
- COBOL source code automatic analysis, data persistence, store procedures, and console application creation
- IP, TCP header analysis/detection/separation for SQL sentences
- Crypto-Communication bus, windows services, and tools design and development
December 2016 as a Freelance C programmer, developing:
- PHP web page development (manage different users in a restricted web system)
- Database design (store users and notifications with MariaDB)
- Writing a DLL library to encrypt/decrypt messages before they are transmitted (AES-ECB)
September 2013 - April 2014 as a Java Application Developer, developing:
- Project design and development (manage the department inventory)
- Web application creation (provide a user interface to let users to capture equipment information with PHP and Apache)
- Java application creation only for admins (check/modify database information on two sides: server-side and client-side with UI, RMI)
- Database creation (MySQL)
Research
I have presented different research works on international conferences.
