About me
Despite my severe visual impairment (<5% of a normal humans ability to see, <2% is considered blind) I got my bachelors degree in computer sciences in 2017 at the age of 22. After trying to apply for a job as a data scientist without success I decided to start my own small consulting business. Since then I have been working as an IT consultant for all kinds of startups, non-profit organizations and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Because of my visual impairment and because I received a lot of support both during my studies and my business activities I co-founded (in 2015) a non profit organization (BV-I) that helps other people with all kinds of disadvantages. From October 2020 to March 2021 I went back to university to complete my masters degree in computer science in parallel to growing my business. I am eager to learn, continuously improve and to get to know interesting companies and people.
In my spare time I enjoy doing sports. I used to do a lot of martial arts. Today I mostly go jogging or to the gym. Although I am not very good at it I cook almost every day. Another passion of mine is investing, mostly index investing and algorithmic trading. I started over 10 years ago and still enjoy watching my strategies generate money. In between customer projects I work on a couple of pet projects in order to not get out of practice.
Interests
Economy & Markets
After more then 10 years of experience in investing I am still passionate about the economy and financial markets. Lately I developed and implemented some algorithmic trading strategies.
Machine Learning
I started learning about and using machine learning about 5 years ago. I am especially interested in applying machine learning to real problems to generate real value.
