I am currently working on Huurrek, a startup providing sustainable cloud services based in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
My previous experience includes quantitative finance, where I developed and utilized data-intensive systems. Before transitioning to the industry, I had been working on a Ph.D. degree at Northwestern University in computer science and communication, where I studied collective human behavior through analysis of diverse large datasets using custom-built computational tools.
