Programming Languages

5/5 [▮▮▮▮▮]

C++

Familiar with: std, boost, gtk, Google Test, Google Benchmark, SDL2, SFML, OpenGL, OpenCV, fftw, Doxygen, Eigen, Abseil, sol3, seqan3 and others.

5/5 [▮▮▮▮▮]

Julia

3 years of experience.

Extensive reverse engineering of hidden, internal implementation details during production of jluna resulting in high familiarity with meta-language features such as code generation, macro-aided compile-time execution, performance optimization, standard library modules including Threads and Distributed.

3/5 [▯▯▮▮▮]

GLSL

2 year of experience.

Full understanding of shader and graphics pipeline architecture, performance optimization for graphics card hardware.

Familiar with: OpenGL 3.3, OpenGL 2.1, CUDA, and others

3/5 [▯▯▮▮▮]

R

2 years of experience, including tutoring the language at university

Highly familiar with data analysis, processing and visualization, statistical techniques related to clinical studies. Nowadays, Julia is preferred over R unless a specific R module is needed.

Familiar with: ggplot, dplyr, and other tidyverse toolkits.

3/5 [▯▯▮▮▮]

Lua

2 year of experience.

Data representation and light-weight scripting language of choice. Especially familiar in a multi-language context where another language is the host language. Full understanding of internal implementation details, including abuse of the debug library.

2.5/5 [▯▯◨▮▮]

Python

~2 years of experience in multi-language applications.

Good foundation in basic syntax and “pythonic” style / software design. Able to refactor and easily understand third parties code, though Julia or C++ would be preferred if I was able to choose the language I will be working in freely.
