Last June I got my PhD in theoretical physics. I decided not to pursue
a career in physics, it turned out hard to combine with the life and
wanted to live next to my job.
Currently I'm working as a `quant' at a bank. We're analyzing and
testing models to calculate prices and risks of exotic derivatives.
My debian and FLOSS work has been focused on a few packages for which
I'm both package maintainer and (kind of) actively participating in
upstream development. They're uswsusp, an program to suspend your
machine, splashy a bootsplash system which I integrated in uswsusp and
pm-utils, a kind of glue package between hal and uswsusp. I'm still
maintaining digitaldj, but there haven't been a release in a while and
it isn't the music-player of choice of many...
