I currently work at a start-up (Coders Co.) doing a variety of tasks (as is often the case at start-ups). I spend most of my time programming. We develop tools for data analysis.
Previously, I worked in embedded systems and academic research (PhD + Postdoc) investigating topics in wireless sensor networks and ubiquitous/pervasive computing.
Coder & Co-founder @ • Mobile apps (iOS) and web development (HTML/CSS, Angular.js, node.js). From May 2013 to Present (2 years 7 months) Amsterdam Area, NetherlandsData Analyst @ • Managed and analyzed customer data, generated the key metrics for the business and maintained a dashboard with up-to-date information
• Answered ad-hoc questions based on the data we collected
Tools: node.js, express.js, jquery and postgres to build our dashboard; highcharts for the graphs; SQL and Hive for queries. From October 2012 to January 2013 (4 months) Support Engineer @ • Provided technical support for Cloud9 users. If you tweeted @c9support or reached out to us at support@c9.io, chances are that I replied to you.
• Wrote documentation (tutorials, how-to's, FAQ) and maintained the support site (http://support.cloud9ide.com)
• Gathered information about how users experienced the product and shared it with the team.
• Some coding and data analysis (metrics) From October 2011 to September 2012 (1 year) Amsterdam Area, NetherlandsSoftware Engineer @ • Developed demos for wireless sensor network technology: a wireless location system (with a team) and a light show demo for the European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (by myself). Tools: C++ for programming the nodes, Python for a simple command line UI.
• Worked on smartcard programming and security/cryptography for the Boordcomputer Taxi (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boordcomputer_taxi) Tools: Openssl for cryptography, C++, Java for programming the smartcards. From January 2011 to September 2011 (9 months) Post doc @ My research was part of the ALwEN project (www.alwen.nl), which focuses on the use of embedded technology (wireless sensor networks, body sensors, ambient sensors) to improve healthcare for the elderly population.
I was responsible for the communication protocols used by the sensor network. Designed, implemented and tested a gossip-based protocol for information exchange between the wireless node population. From February 2008 to January 2011 (3 years) Research Assistant (PhD) @ Conducted research on wireless ad hoc networks (see below in Education - PhD).
Published several articles and presented the results at international conferences.
Additionally, worked as a teaching assistant for several courses (Computer Networks, Distributed Systems, Introduction to Programming) and supervised students working on their master's theses. From September 2003 to February 2008 (4 years 6 months) Engineering Intern @ Summer internship at Google headquarters (Mountain View, CA) in the wireless group. From June 2006 to September 2006 (4 months)
PhD, Computer Science @ VU University Amsterdam From 2003 to 2008 MSc, Computational Science @ University of Amsterdam From 2001 to 2003 Daniela Gavidia is skilled in: Scientific Writing, Wireless Sensor Networks, Distributed Systems, JavaScript, Node.js, Data Analysis, Python, Java, Algorithms, Software Engineering, Software Development, Embedded Systems, jQuery, Programming, Simulations
