DESY, Hamburg - Germany

After studying Computer Science for 5 years in Coimbra (Portugal) I've entered my first job at DESY (Hamburg) in August 2006 and have since then been working as a software developer in the physics computing group.  My main projects so far were the development of a GUI for the configuration of an application framework for data analysis and the implementation of a build and installation tool for the software tools used in the ILC community. I have been working exclusively in Linux environments for the past 3 years and during this time I realized how much I like working with this OS and my overall sympathy for the GNU/*nix community =)
