Simulation Engineer

I make simulations of evolution, warehouses and factories. In my spare time I created game engines, games and many simulations with well over 15,000 downloads. Professionally I work on a high-performance simulation platform at InControl.

ABOUT

In high school my bad handwriting got me a laptop, which I used to secretly program games and build evolution simulations that won two national awards and paid for university. I studied mathematics, worked on warehouse simulations, and created AI-driven games with neural networks and evolution. Now I'm using AI to push the limits of my productivity and explore how far engineering can go in creating software that matters, with simulations remaining my main focus.
