20 years experience in deep tech software engineering, in roles spanning from software engineer, system architect, engineering manager to founder and CEO. Strong in scalable system architecture, data engineering, data science, machine learning and engineering/project leadership.

Educational background in engineering physics with a deep understanding of science, technology, software and information. Can read and understand just about any scientific paper in theory of computation, computer science, software engineering, data engineering, information theory, machine learning or artificial intelligence.

Not above writing code. And yes, I can implement anything I understand. That's kind of the definition of understanding I'd say. :)

Primarily looking for a (fractional) CTO role in a deep tech startup or scaleup, but open to other suggestions.

I am a bioinformatician with six years of experience in academic settings - areas I previously worked in include genome assembly and annotation, RNASeq analysis, and metagenomics. Sort-of relatedly, in the last few years I got increasingly big on gardening and subsistence agriculture - apart from doing a lot of work in the neighbourhood I live in, I am taking a permaculture design course, and I'm studying up on the areas of biology that I didn't pick up through my career in life sciences.

I am mostly looking for short-term work, and for unique opportunities. I take projects in the areas of data science, big data engineering, and machine learning, as well as in development of scientific software. If you have a permanent job that I might find really worth doing, or a startup idea that you think might resonate with me, please let me know!
