Experience

1. Senior Technical Specialist

   Altair

   Apr 2023 — Present

   Over the past 12 months, my primary focus has been on the MotionSolve Python API. I have dedicated significant time to enhancing the code, implementing new modeling entities, and increasing both quality and code coverage. Additionally, I have directed and managed the evolution of the MS Python API, transforming it from a viable alternative into the de-facto standard method for other Altair products to communicate with MotionSolve.Moreover, I have spearheaded efforts to utilize state-of-the-art open source tools and libraries to manage the generation of the reference manual. This includes transitioning static tutorials to interactive Jupyter notebook tutorials, greatly enhancing the user experience and accessibility of the documentation.
