Top SchoolErik Reid is a software engineering manager based in Amsterdam with nine years in leadership roles and over two decades of hands-on experience across embedded systems, payment certification tools, and secure communications.

His background spans low-level firmware and driver work to Java, Python, C#, and cloud-enabled services, giving him a rare fluency across embedded, backend and integration stacks. He has driven automation and CI/CD improvements, added robotic test automation for payment tooling, and made pragmatic build vs. buy decisions as a solutions architect. Trained in applied mathematics at Carnegie Mellon, he brings analytical rigor to complex system design and cryptography-related projects. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic technologist who pairs deep technical breadth with practical people and resource management.
