I am an Instructional Designer by training (MALTT) with a proven expertise on data analyses and strong programming skills (C, C++, Python, JS, PHP, Unity). In my master’s thesis, I employed unsupervised machine learning techniques to cluster users’ behaviors playing a game (Rioja, 2024).

With five years’ experience as a research assistant in a cognitive neuroscience lab (Brain and Learning Bavelier Lab), my tasks ranged from data management (design, collect, clean, analyse, communicate), to writing articles (Rioja et al., 2023), to programming (JS, PHP, Laravel) and launching cognitive tasks in the cloud (AWS EC2/S3, Azure).

While working for the Bavelier Lab, I successfully completed the “common core” of the computer science school 42 Lausanne where I learned how to program in C and C++. For the last group project, I was in charge of implementing an OAuth2 using NestJS. The acquired skills allowed me to develop a RESTful API using Flask to collect logs from a video game for an EdTech lab (Laboratoire d’Innovation Pédagogique).

In the past three years, I mentored groups of 3-to-5 students on acquiring soft skills, taught courses about R in an interactive manner which increased attendants’ self-reported digital knowledge by 28.7% and renovated a flat on weekends with my girlfriend.

I seek to team up with inclusive, talented, creative, innovative and inspiring people aiming for positive contribution to society through digital technologies.

I am very much looking forward to talking with you in person ! Cheers ! ☀️
