Summary
Dennis Hilhorst is a software and control systems engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building practical tooling and optimization platforms. He co-founded Cahido, developing bespoke scheduling and route-optimization solvers on AWS and a generic solver library (including CP-SAT), and now applies his skills at High Voltage Engineering Europa. With a strong academic grounding in mathematics and physics (MSc candidate at Utrecht University, semesters in Oslo and Victoria), he blends rigorous analytical thinking with pragmatic software engineering in Python, SQL, and JavaScript. At SoliTrust he built domain-specific backends and automation tooling, led best-practice training, and automated tedious data workflows—skills that translate into reliable, maintainable systems. An emulator- and math-enthusiast, Dennis brings curiosity for low-level systems and modeling to control and optimization challenges.
