About

Hi, welcome to my website! I'm Olivier and I'm a software engineer with a passion for solving complex problems. Particularly those related to graph theory, procedural generation and algorithmic design. As such, I enjoy learning about new types of problems and how to solve them using algorithms. In my free time I like to work on random side projects, often with the intent of learning something new. These projects might not always see the finishline, but I almost always have learned something new at the end of it. Besides programming, I also enjoy tinkering on my 3D-printer, painting my printed miniature figures or making cocktails.

Projects

RNP Algorithms

---

Implementations of seven different algorithms to solve the Relay Node Placement Algorithm. In this problem we try to find an optimal placement of relay nodes to connect a set of sensors.

RNP Data Generation

---

With the use of procedural generation datasets for the Relay Node Placement problem are generated. These datasets are more representative of real world data then random points.

Advent of Code 2024

---

My solutions for the Advent of Code 2024. This is an event where each day leading up to christmas a coding problem is released and you try to solve it. I got up to day 18 this year.

Education

MSc. Data science and Artificial Intelligence

2022-2025

During this master my focus was on how to process large amount of data. In particular the algorithmic side of data processing over the statistical analysis. For example I learned about how to process geographic data such as trajectories and map data during the "Algorithms for Geographic Data" course, and about the algorithms that make databases run in "Engineering Data Systems". As a secondary focus I had Machine Learning/Artifical Intelligence. Although I enjoy the topic and find it very fascinating I have learned that I prefer not to develop models myself due to the very slow feedback loop. I do, however, have the necessary knowledge to work closely together with people who implement the models.

BSc. Computer Science

2019-2022

During the bachelor I succesfully completed the honours program, which entailed a lot of interdisciplinary activities such as projects and seminars. As such, I have learned to work well with interdisciplinary teams and build on eachothers strengths. For the regular part of my curriculum I focussed on algorithms and software development with a brief look at artificial intelligence, which would eventually lead my to my choice in master degrees.

Erasmus Exchange Program • Oslo, Norway

2022-2022

During the final semester of the bachelor I took part in the Erasmus exchange program. Together with a friend we went to Oslo, Norway where we studied at the University of Oslo. During this time I tried my broaden my horizon by taking introductory courses in robotics and semantic web technologies.

Courses
