EXPERIENCE:

11/2004 - 01/2006: Akilian nv Company, Belgium
Developing for my Master Thesis Project & Full-time programmer

The thesis project, developed for Akilian nv company, is a text mining project called RS (Recruiters Solution). We developed a decision support tools for recruiters, HR (Human Resource) directors, knowledge and competence managers, and labor counselors and other professionals. These tools automate, simplify and improve the creation, maintenance and communication of competence profiles and other related information.

The development team owned several members led by the supervisor. My task focused on the extraction of different types of information from CV files, such as skills, functions, education backgrounds and addresses, and then transforming them into a more standardized document called CP (competence profile). Then unreliability evaluation for extracted results is performed to give validate coefficient to results.

After my graduation from K.U.Leuven, I still went on with further development at this company until the beginning of 2006, when I left for Australia.

Technology: Eclipse (Java), TOMCAT (JBOSS), MYSQL.
