Adding more responsibilities to my role in IGT. Taking care of the back-end development of small projects by myself, performing software design documentation, and evaluating the time needed to implement a project for the Business Analyst and management team.

As part of the middleware team, I contribute to developing and improving the services connecting our customers with the Aurora transaction engine at IGT. My daily tasks involve solving bugs on our lottery projects and customizing our baseline products according to our clients's specifications. I am also in charge of creating API simulations to fasten the job of our QA peers and write technical or functional documentation about the software, either for internal or business purposes.

Maintenance and development of the web application used by Barcelona City Council to estimate the imputation of city planning fines. It involves resolving incidents in the database in case the users cannot solve them with the application and the correction of bugs by modifying Java code. Other tasks consist of documenting the changes made in the app and participating in meetings with the team, project manager, or client to discuss current problems or future improvements.\newline The stack of tools on the job comprises Oracle SQL, Java 5, Eclipse IDE, Microsoft Teams, Jira, and Kibana. The main tool used on the job is Oracle SQL to make queries on the application database or create new views, updating or inserting fields in production if the incidents require it. I often create reports to inform about new updates made on the application and prepare tables and diagrams for presentations where we discuss the volume of incidents created and resolved periodically.

Development of research on phylogenetics. My duty was to help in a lab under the supervision of doctors Fábio Kuriki Mendes and Alexei J. Drummond in understanding mathematical models applied to phylogenetics and implementing them in \href{https://www.beast2.org}{BEAST}, a Java platform for Bayesian phylogenetic analysis created and maintained by the department of computer science at the University of Auckland. Contribution to two related projects: In the first one, the purpose was to expand the Brownian motion model applied in phylogenetics for studying continuous, morphological character evolution. This model ignores the genetic basis of morphological characters and this can lead to incorrect evolutionary inferences. Our aim is, therefore, to add the contribution of the genes to the input of the model to get more realistic inferences. A second project was to understand and implement the Hansen model and the Early-Burst model.
