  Yuon Control AG

  • Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

  • Senior Data Scientist / Engineer

    • May 2024 - Present
    • Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

    I support Yuon Control in development and deployment of computational and engineering solutions, as well as in establishing modern project management and agile processes. The main aim of my work is to improve scientific rigor, accuracy, reliability and performance of solutions provided by Yuon, such as forecasting and optimization of heating distribution in private houses and district heating networks.

  Functional Genomics Center Zurich

  • Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

  • Data Engineer

    • Mar 2024 - May 2024
    • Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

    While actively searching for a permanent position, I decided to learn about Biostatistics and joined FGCZ as a volunteer for a few months. I attend courses on Next Generation Sequencing, and contributed to features of back-end engineering solutions for processing and registering NGS data. By the end of my time, I designed, implemented and tested a full refactoring of the data registration interface used at FGCZ. By collaborating with several original developers and users, I was able to streamline the process, which originally involved using several ad-hoc solutions re-implementing the same thing into a single repository that is satisfactory to all of the parties and will be jointly maintained.
