Physicist by education, computer scientist on a daily base, managing a couple of HPC computing clusters in the Materials Physics Center (CSIC-UPV/EHU). With a background in numerical methods applied to physical models and low level parallelization for HPC applications, mainly in C and Fortran, I found python as the glue and driving wheel which ties together C, Fortran and scripting as well as allows for easyly write the pre and post processing parts of any scientific code.
