About me

Currently, I'm a master's student studying Engineering and Policy Analysis (EPA) at Delft University of Technology. I'm finishing my master's thesis in August and am currently seeking full-time positions as a Digital Strategy Consultant in the Netherlands. I also previously obtained a bachelors degree in Computer Enginnering at the University of Nebraska and before starting the master's program gained several years of experience as a full-time software developer.

I am interested in Digital Strategy consulting because I have seen first-hand how difficult it is to find and integrate the right technologies into every-day operations, and I know what a strong difference making the right choices can make. Paired with my background as a software developer, the education I have gained through Engineering and Policy Analysis provide a strong and varied set of skills that perfectly set me up to be a valuable asset as a Digital Strategy Consultant. My technical background provides an understanding of what is possible and experience with what works and doesn't work when it comes to developing technical solutions. EPA has instilled in me an analytical approach to solving complex problems, management of conflicting stakeholder objectives, the importance of accounting for both technical and social requirements and restrictions, and methods for handling the ever-present uncertainty that exists in any complex probelm or project.
