I am currently working as a software developer at Antaros Medical in the city of Uppsala. Antaros Medical is a Swedish contract research organization that provides ground-breaking imaging analysis for drug development and clinical trials. Antaros clientele includes different laboratories around the world, big pharma companies and biotech start-ups.

I work mostly planning and developing software for the CoreLab team and for internal use within the company. My tasks include data processing and handling of medical images (mostly MRI images). On a daily basis I work with different image formats such as DICOM and VTK images; and use different Python libraries and environments (SciPy, Numpy, Pydicom, ITK, Pandas, Jupyter Notebooks and PyTest among others) to process data from medical studies.

I have been assigned as the lead software developer for a number of different projects at Antaros. This role involves supervising final study deliveries, software implementation and configuration, and troubleshooting or developing software when necessary.

As part of the software development team, I actively participate in the software design, planning and validation processes. We implement scrum and agile development for managing our software projects. My role at Antaros also includes extensive testing and documentation of software. As an employee at the company I receive regular training in the fields of medicine, good clinical practices, data integrity and ethical principles in research.

From November 2018 until June 2020 I worked as a software developer and computer analyst at Mysrpoven: a Stockholm based startup that uses AI and Machine Learning techniques to improve energy usage on smart buildings with different BMS systems.

My work included developing software and web applications using C# and the .NET framework. I created several automation tools for internal use within the company; as well as software and web applications for our engineers and clients. As part of my duties, I participated in gathering requirements, estimating timelines, designing, building and testing software, as well as code review and deployment activities. I have also coded and revised SQL queries to create schemas to insert, update, modify and delete components in Myrspoven’s database system. These queries were later integrated to a MySQL database and their corresponding CRUD web interfaces I have created using HTML/CSS/JavaScript (with JQuery) and ASP .NET framework. Other duties included creating internal documentation for the correct integration of different BMS platforms with the company's software, some data analytics with MATLAB, and designing and creating the company's landing page using WordPress and Adobe software.

During my time at Myrspoven I worked mostly unsupervised and location independent: I have worked at Myrspoven headquarters in Sweden, and while traveling various locations in India, China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea before finally settling down in Brisbane, Australia.
