My name is Reinout Roels and I currently live and work in Brussels, Belgium. Computers and programming have always been my passion. Ever since I was 14 I have invested heavily in the related knowledge and skills and therefore I have a strong technical background. I am fluent in many of the commonly used programming languages, frameworks and API's and have worked on several large-scale projects including desktop, web and mobile applications. Thanks to my education I am also a quick learner and I can pick up new languages and technologies quite fast.

During my PhD a lot of time was spent on teaching, researching and contributing to state of the art technologies. On top of that, freelance work and hobby projects have kept me up to date with the most recent developments.

Current hobbies include poker AIs and algorithmic trading (stock, forex and cryptocurrency markets). I used to also train for running events which resulted in numerous half marathon finishes, a full marathon finish under 4 hours and a 100km hike (the infamous "Dodentocht") finish in 22 hours.
