====== Portfolio ======

This page refers to some IT related projects I have been involved in recent years.\\
For a list of academic publications refer [[:academic:publications|here]] instead.


===== StrategicGames: A set of functions in pure Julia for analysing strategic generic N-players games using concepts and tools of Game Theory. =====
The StrategicGames package provides functionalities to work with n-players strategic games, including finding mixed or pure Nash equilibria in simultaneous games (currently using support enumeration or solving the complementarity problem).\\
**Skills**: Computational game theory, Nash equilibrium\\
**Year**: 2023\\

===== BDisposal: A library to perform non parametric efficiency and productivity analysis through the B-disposal scheme =====
The BDisposal package proposes a serie of environmental efficiency and productivity algorithms for non-parametric modelling when we relax the disposability assumption of some of the outputs and/or inputs (e.g. pollution). These efficiency and productivity measures are implemented through convex and non-convex Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) (aka Frontier Efficiency Analysis) models.\\

===== FinWeb =====
A web tool developed for the European Forest Institute designed to help users to evaluate forest investment projects, returning indications on their profitability both on a financial point of view and on an whole economic point of view (when externalities - or non-monetary effects - are priced and taken into account).\\
Projects can be kept private by users or can be shared so that a database of forest projects is built using a bottom-up approach. The site is completed with a glossary and is full transparent in the way financial variables (net present value, internal rate of return, ec..) are computed as the raw PHP code is publicly available.\\
**Skills**: Drupal (several modules including openlayer and writing your own module)\\
**Year**: 2013\\

===== customSampler 2D =====
A fast and precise sampler (it uses the Kahan summation algorithm) over a custom defined probability distribution in the form of a stand-alone program.\\
For example, you may have various regions and tree species and you want to randomly sample 100 cases in each region according to their probability of presence in each region. Or you may have cities and age groups and you want to sample 50 cases according with the share of each age class in the various cities.\\
**Usage**: unzip and run from dos (Windows) or terminal (Linux). Read the REDME.txt or type "customSampler2D --help" for usage.\\
**Skills**: C++\\
**Year**: 2012\\
