At an early age, curiousity about the world around me lead me toward the realm of computers. In the years since then, my abilities in science, computers, and electronics developed to support that initial curiousity into how things work. Now I am at a point where I want to apply these skills to a project that others can look upon and be filled with the same sense of wonder that I had when I was a child. Skills + Programming languages: C/C++, Python, PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, LaTeX + Statistical analysis + Reduction of large data sets + Computer Hardware: Building, repairing, and debugging computers + OS's: Linux (Ubuntu/Linux Mint, etc.), and Windows (XP and 7) + Technical Writing + Data Reduction Packages - CARMA MIRIAD, IDL, SciPy + Observational Astronomy - Single-dish and Interferometric Radio Telescopes I enjoy following the development of new technology and to improve my abilities by studying techniques and methods that I have not yet had a chance to use in my daily work. To this end, the following is a list of topics that I am currently learning: + OpenGL + x86/x86_64 Assembly and SSE + Android (low level and Java programs) + Parallel processing techniques + Video encoding and processing algorithms/techniques + Database technology (MySQL and NoSQL) To contact me, message and add me on LinkedIn or feel free to email me at: nhakobian@gmail.com
