Work Experience
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, developing and maintaining software for the CoreLab team and for internal use. 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); and use different Python libraries and environments (SciPy, Numpy, Pydicom, ITK, Pandas, Jupyter Notebooks and PyTest among others) to process and analyze data for medical studies. I also work with Amazon AWS integration and designing and developing complex interfaces with WPF in C#.
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 agile development, scrum and CI/CD using Azure DevOps pipelines. My role at Antaros also includes extensive (automated) testing and extensive software documentation. As an employee at the company I receive regular training in the fields of medicine, good clinical practices (GAMP5, GxP), data integrity (GDPR) and ethical principles in research (ICH).
Software Development Research Scrum Python Software Testing Software Documentation C# WPF Lead Software Developer Interface Design GAMP5 GxP Azure DevOps AWS GDPR ICH CI/CD GitFrom November 2018 until June 2020 I worked as a software, web and API developer at Mysrpoven: a Stockholm based startup that uses AI to improve the energy usage in smart buildings combining different BMS systems and Machine Learning techniques.
My work included developing software and web applications using C# and the .NET framework. I created several automation tools for internal use; as well as software, APIs 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 devised complex SQL queries which I later integrated to Myrspovens database with their corresponding CRUD interfaces I created using HTML, CSS, JavaScript (JQuery) and ASP .NET framework. Other duties included creating internal documentation for the correct integration of different BMS platforms, 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, South Korea and Australia.
Software, Web and API Development C# .NET Framework Software Testing Software Documentation Interface Design User Experience (UX) HTML CSS JavaScript WordPress Adobe SQL MATLAB GitDuring my studies I was hired on a three-month contract to create automation tools for Fortlax: a modern and eco-friendly data center with three state-of-the-art facilities operating with 100% green energy just outside Piteå, in northern Sweden.
My tasks included creating different automation tools using C# in order to sync different data sources and services used within the company's data centers. During this short period I wrote around seven different programs to fetch metadata from data centers for synchronization purposes and automatic generation of reports. I also created tools to import and export data from Atlassian services including downloading and syncing client information, automatic creation of wiki pages in Confluence, Jira tickets, and more.
Most of these software were CLI applications, some connected to Atlassian's API others directly to the data centers management software. I created a number of interactive GUIs using C# with WPF for some of the applications. I also devised an interactive web-based GUI to display all virtual machines and their statuses using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Bootstrap.
While in this posting I visited Fortlax offices in Malmö twice, and I worked remotely from Uppsala.
