👋

Hello, I'm Mario.

About me

I am a software engineer with a background in mathematics and physics. Currently specialized in developing apps for Apple platforms (Swift / SwiftUI). Also experienced in backend development (Java / Spring Boot), frontend development (Next.js, React, Tailwind), and scientific computing (C, C++, Python).

My experience

iOS Developer 

Independent

Working on apps for Apple platforms, leveraging technologies such as SwiftUI and SwiftData. Also responsible for running the entire business and creating and managing the landing pages (the latter developed using technologies such as Next.js and Supabase).

2024 - Present

Software Engineer

Mindex | Paychex

Worked on large-scale enterprise solutions. Tech stack consisted of Java, Spring, Kafka, Jenkins, OpenShift, OracleDB, etc...

2022 - 2024

Research Assistant

RIT Center for Computational Relativity & Gravitation

Developed mathematical models and simulations of black hole systems using C, C++, and Python. Co-authored several research articles published in peer-reviewed journals.

2020 - 2022

Research Intern

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Employed High-Performance Computing (HPC) techniques to simulate and analyze the time evolution of the Einstein Field Equations for black holes, utilizing trumpet initial data for enhanced accuracy and precision.

2021

MPhil in Computational Physics

Newcastle University

Completed masters degree. Created and implemented (all in pure C++ code) a breakthrough algorithm that effectively models early universe bubble nucleation at zero and nonzero temperatures.

2018 - 2020

MSc in Mathematical Physics

University of Edinburgh

Completed masters degree. Conducted research on supergravity topics such as superalgebras and N-branes.

2017 - 2018

Mathematics Adjunct Faculty

Miami Dade College

Taught undergraduate-level mathematics (Algebra, Calculus & Ordinary Differential Equations). Students' feedback and evaluation were 100% positive!

2017

BA/MA in Mathematics

City University of New York Hunter College

Completed combined bachelors/masters program. Finished with a perfect major (math) GPA of 4.00/4.00, and overall excellent GPA of 3.67/4.00.

2009 - 2016

AstroCom NYC Astrophysics Intern

American Museum of Natural History

Conducted spectroscopical analysis of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. Data gathered from telesocopes was parsed and processed using Python (Numpy, Scipy, Pandas, Matplotlib). This led to the spectral classification of dozens of new celestial objects.

2012 - 2014
