I am the author of software to deal with using knowledge represented in OWL to make decisions and create new knowledge (an area of expertise somewhat academical and with few practical applications at the moment), and have a big experience with setting up back-end systems using Python and its MySQL drivers.

I have written several papers in the past, all using LaTeX, following different templates from different journals. I'm able to create latex packages and classes, and have done so in order to implement my university's PhD thesis requirements.

I have created software to read and use OWL ontologies (an area of expertise somewhat academical and with few practical applications at the moment). I am knowledgeable in developing modular software, using generics, tampering with Java's class location, etc.

I have setup, maintained and updated several MySQL databases throughout my programming years. I use databases on a daily basis to store and retrieve my data and to pipe it to other (Python/Java) applications for further processing

I'm highly familiar with OWL 2.0 (a format to represent knowledge in a machine-readable fashion), including using it with Java (through the OWL-API). I also know how to develop an ontology with OWL, what are the best practices, etc.

I have created several web applications using HTML, CSS and AJAX.

My experience has only been form the point of view of a hobbysit, but I have successfully created some working programs with rust, mainly command-line stuff with mathematical significance (think 3D geometries, for example). I created performant data structures (such as graphs).

I have sporadically created several plots for scientific papers.
