Raoul-Gabriel Urma
I'm a PhD in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge and a member of the Cambridge Programming Research Group.
I have taught Optimising Compilers, Software Design, Concepts in Programming Languages and Object-Oriented Programming.
I have worked for Oracle, eBay, Goldman Sachs, Loxbridge Research and the University of Luxembourg.
I sometimes write on this Blog. You can contact me by email at . My CV is available on demand.
I also like to set myself challenges for charity. I have run the London Triathlon and cycled London to Brussels with friends.
