* I | * I am '''Kai Torben Ohlhus''', a [http://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/education/degree-courses/masters-programs/informatik-ingenieurwesen.html computer science and engineering] student in the final master semester from Hamburg, Germany. During my studies I specialized on software systems and communication networks and discovered a passion for computer arithmetic and algorithms, which will now be topic of my master thesis. I speak German (native), English (fluent) and Spanish (basic). | ||

Till now I have not participated in any GSoC and this year will be my last chance to do so. | ||

My master thesis will deal with accurate fast scalar products and matrix-vector products for big sparse linear systems, usually coined to be called with MATLAB's MEX-Interface. However, I prefer to program upon software where I have access to the source code, rather than only to a sparse documentation. So don't be afraid to disapprove my application, I'll stick to Octave. | ||

I attended many courses and laboratories dealing with these three languages. From my 3rd semester on I have been tutoring these courses: [http://intranet.tuhh.de/kvvz/vorlesung.php3?Lang=en&sg_s=IIWBC&id=key2689 Laboratory course (MATLAB)], [http://intranet.tuhh.de/kvvz/vorlesung.php3?Lang=en&sg_s=IIWBC&id=key2224 Computer Programming (C)] and [http://intranet.tuhh.de/kvvz/vorlesung.php3?Lang=en&sg_s=AIWBC&id=key3219 Introduction to Programming (C)]. I have some experience with Qt4. With OpenGL I have no experience so far, I worked with SDL. | ||
* Other languages of my studies were Java and web applications (JSP and Servlets). Because I use GNU/Linux as my day-to-day OS, I know BASH-scripting and for FPGA-Programming I worked with VHDL a lot. Additionally I created many documents using LaTeX. | * Other languages of my studies were Java and web applications (JSP and Servlets).

It was developed in a team of four students, including me, using scrum, Subversion (at Google Code now GIT) in a time of three months. I learned, that an interface is something that should never be broken (if possible) and a proper code and comment style saves a lot of time! | ||
