Software

I have a great deal of experience using high level programming languages, most importantly R and Python. In addition, I have experience using Fortran. For compiling code I recommend using CMake. For software version control I highly recommend distributed version control systems such as Mercurial or Git.

One of the most used software tools I wrote is automap, an R package for automatic interpolation of point observations. The package builds heavily on the gstat. It provides automatic variogram fitting and functions for streamlining cross-validation. Automap can be downloaded from CRAN. Use the following command to get the package:

Development versions can be downloaded from my Bitbucket account. The projects on that page are listed below:

• scm-latexdiff

  A command line tool written in Python to create diffs between latex documents in a Mercurial or Git repository. The result is a pdf with the changes (added and removed text). (10 watchers)
