I'm a software engineer working at Source, an Amsterdam based agro-tech startup. I studied Computer Science at TU Delft and I've been coding since I was 18. I enjoy buildings software that people around me can play with, and python lends itself quite nicely to both my day-to-day job and building quirky side projects.

Talk 2 - Python in banking
During the talk you will learn about how python is used in the banking sector, more specifically in risk modelling.
