Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbraham De La Hidalga is a research-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience building data management tools and scientific workflow interfaces, currently working as a Research Associate in Data Management and Software Development at Cardiff University. His work spans virtual research environments, software product lines, requirements elicitation, and design patterns, often translating domain needs into prototypes and production-ready tools for large scientific facilities. He has led H2020 research on digitisation and environmental research infrastructures, tested semantic segmentation models for specimen processing, and evaluated cloud archival solutions—bridging machine learning, cloud and semantic technologies. Holding a PhD focused on software product lines and an MSc from Manchester, he combines academic rigor with practical engineering across Ruby on Rails, AWS, and agile delivery. Less obvious: he pairs user-centered co-design techniques with ontological approaches to accelerate creation of intelligent, reusable interfaces for virtual labs.
