Software Engineer

At a certain point in middle school, maths clicked for me. When looking for a way to apply it afterwards, I was immediately at home at my study of Computer Science in Leiden. With C++ the language of choice, I dove into theoretical informatics, computer systems, algorithms and software verification. After finishing and publishing my Master’s thesis, Solid Sands turned out to be a perfect match.

Besides computer sciences, I also like to dive deeply into history, mythology and works of fantasy. Simply because it’s interesting, or to adapt it into personal writings or tabletop RPGs. Otherwise, I like going on a nice walk to think and climbing.
