MSc, Computational Science
BSc, Computer Science
I originally bought this domain with the goal of linking my home-server and other gadgets to it, as a URL would make finding my server a sentence away. I then realized it would probably be a good idea to control the first result any potential employer might see when they searched my name.
I hold both a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a master's degree in Computational Science from the University of Amsterdam.
Previously, I kept myself busy with a personal "home-lab". In this lab I ran Docker, Kubernetes, GNU/Linux, hypervisors (Proxmox) etc. After getting a firm grip of these systems my interest pivoted into cloud computing. Leveraging cloud services to run elastic micro-services, cloud gaming machines or large scale simulations are ideas I'm very fond of. I also enjoy closing the gap between IT and Finance.
I have exposure to quantitative finance and high performance computing. My masters' thesis project was an application of GPUs to financial product pricing. I also have previous work experience in Software Engineering. I'm currently a Market Risk manager at ABN AMRO Clearing after having completed the Global Clearing Talent Programme.
