Main skills:

Programming: Python (lead developer of PM4Py and PM4Py-GPU; text classification) along with its ecosystem (Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Numpy); Javascript (lead developer of the process mining toolkit PMTk, and of the open-source library PM4JS) along with Node.JS and Angular.

Consultancy: involvement in process mining projects @ Fraunhofer FIT.

Data analysis: deep knowledge of process mining in different areas (process discovery, conformance checking, simulation). Usage of dataframe technologies (Pandas, Polars, NVIDIA RAPIDS, Apache Spark), SQL (Oracle, DuckDB, SQLite), and non-SQL (MongoDB, Redis) to extract and pre-process event data. Data extraction and processing from popular information systems (SAP ERP, Dynamics CRM, Camunda). Data visualization: Graphviz (PM4Py, PM4JS), Matplotlib (PM4Py), Plotly (PMTk, PM4JS).

Operational: deployment of applications as Docker containers (both in the context of SIAV Silloge and PMTk), and in enterprise web/application servers (Apache, IIS, NGINX / UWSGI). Basic knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (for the PM4Py and PMTK projects). Base knowledge of the Nameko framework.
