My name is Daniel Isaacs Díaz, and I was born in Panama. I went to high school in Panama, and I was blessed with a scholarship (Walton Scholarship) that gave me the opportunity to study in the United States.
I went to Harding University and got a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I also have a minor in International Business. I graduated with honors (Magna Cum Laude), and did some interesting work at Harding.
One of the things i did at Harding was extensive research on a topic of my choice. I choose to research on “Text Mining”.
I also wrote a video game for a Computer Science Software Development Project. The project was done in groups, and all the groups developed the same game which in that semester was “Cambio”. I was chosen to lead one of the projects, specifically a project our team decided to call “Lord of the Cambio”, since were fans of Lord of the Rings.
“Lord of the Cambio” ended up being the winning software project from the Software Development class at Harding University during the 2005 spring semester. It was written by Jed Veatch, Rafael Ramirez, and myself.
After graduation, I started working for a Swedish company in Stockholm. I received training in topics like: XML, XSLT, XPath and DTD’s. I became very proficient transforming XML documents into HTML/XML documents. I also did some work implementing C# applications that inserted XML data into different databases.
After several months in Stockholm, I decided to come back to Panama. Then I decided to work for an online sportsbook company. In this project I developed and optimized dynamic web applications using ASP with JScript as the scripting language, transformed XML documents into other HTML/WML documents and performed some Search Engine Optimization for the website. The website is: http://www.betonline.com/
Nonetheless, I decided I wanted to get more experience in the .NET technologies. That’s why I decided to work for Real World Systems in Panama. I ended up developing, designing and maintaining a fixed income trading application allowing investors and broker/dealers to automatically execute trades on an online electronic corporate bond trading platform. This was developed in C# 2.0. I also did some development in emerging technologies such as WPF and WCF. In fact I was able to present some of my work on this topics in the International .NET Association in Panama.
Nowadays, I keep enhancing my knowledge in the .NET technologies. I am currently an ASP.NET Web Developer for a Canadian company that offers SaaS logistics solutions. I am also going to pursue a Master of Mathematics in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, one of the top Computer Science programs in the world (that’s what the letter of admission says!!)
