Resume
of Ricardo Ferré

Our specialty is data communications and fast program development. Our experience as researcher has contributed to developing mathematical methods and skills for structuring algorithms. This leads to faster development and more effective and concise programs. On the other hand, our experience as a data consultant has given user-friendly interfaces and more flexible and pedagogic relations with customers and technicians.
