Occupation
If you look at my Master's degree, you would say I am a biotechnologist with a specialization in pharmacology. However, I've done all but biotechnology since my graduation. I started working "at the bench", first with biochemistry then with cellular biology. I've since then got a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicie and moved to bioinformatics, and I've been involved with the intricacies of data analysis of DNA variation and structure from high throughput parallel sequencing.
I am currently working as a senior scientist in the Translational Genomics Unit at the IRCCS "Mario Negri" Pharmacological Research Institute, a research no-profit.
For those interested, you can view my resume.
Free Software
I'm quite involved in Free Software, in particular in KDE and (openSUSE)(https://www.opensuse.org), but also to other FOSS projects.
KDE contributions
With regards to KDE. I'm a member of the KDE Community Forums administration staff (also known as the "green guys"). Less frequently I contribute patches to KDE software, and even less frequently I write applications myself, such as [Danbooru Client]({{ site.url }}/projects/danbooru-client/).
openSUSE contributions
I'm a current member of the community KDE team. My involvement mostly is in packaging KDE software, be it either the KDE Frameworks, or the applications part of the KDE Release Service.
Other FOSS projects
I contributed significant code to the bcbio-nextgen as part of my research work, in particular the initial implementation for tumor-normal paired somatic variant calling. Other smaller contributions to projects include GEMINI and pandas (earlier versions).
