User:Youssefsan

I am Youssef Oualmakran. I have a four-year degree in translation French-English and French-Spanish. In 2006-2007 I taught Dutch. In 2007 I taught also English. I am also a power industrial engineer. Currently, I am studing the use of case based reasoning (CBR) for power restoration in smart grids.

I am a mentor for the Google Code In 2012. I used to work on the Dutch-French pair. You can email me at <youssefsan@gmail.com>.
