I am an ambitious and driven individual with a strong passion for computer science and software engineering. With a proven track record of success, I am constantly seeking new challenges to push myself beyond my comfort zone.
During my time at Technical University of Delft, where I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, I specialized in data science and AI. I took a minor abroad in Stockholm, Sweden, where I gained a deeper understanding of Ethical Hacking and Multi-Agent Systems.
In my Master's degree there, I delved extensively into Deep Learning, Quantum Computing, and the field of Side Channel Analysis. Notably, I had the privilege of publishing a toolbox in Side Channel Analysis, which has made a lasting impact and continues to be utilized by researchers in the field.
In addition to my academic achievements, I have been actively engaged in personal projects, particularly in Rust development. These projects have allowed me to apply my knowledge and enhance my skills in a practical setting. I have also dedicated my time as the Chief Software Engineer at Forze Hydrogen Racing, where I led a team of talented individuals in building the world's fastest hydrogen race car.
After working at Flow Traders in Amsterdam from August 2022 to December 2024, where I contributed to the development of various projects with a focus on DevOps and system engineering, I moved to London to join Hudson River Trading in June 2025 as a Trade Operations (TradeOps) Analyst. I work on the infrastructure, latency optimization and order routing of HRT's trading systems. As a Series 57 licensed trader I also do execution trading across all asset classes and global markets (US, Europe, Turkey, Middle East, Africa and Asia), and I am active in HRT's Systematic Internaliser (SI).
Beyond my academic and professional pursuits, I have actively contributed to the field of Powerlifting. As a competitive powerlifter and coach, I co-founded WoTo, a SaaS app for powerlifting coaches with over 100 monthly paying users.
I am motivated by challenges and thrive in environments where innovation and growth are encouraged. In my spare time, I build trading systems with Rust.
