Colin Savalle

CAREER OBJECTIVE

I am looking for a position with challenging projects related to computing or physics fields. My ideal job would be to work in a like-minded team, possibly within the Research and Development department and should involve new technologies and global partnership. I am willing to relocate internationally or travel periodically if necessary.
