Senior🎓
Top SchoolGerardo Huck is a Senior Engineering Manager based in Amsterdam with 12 years of experience building and leading high-performing, distributed software teams, currently shaping monetisation for accommodations at Booking.com. He combines a strong computer science foundation and hands-on engineering background—especially in graph algorithms and layouts from long-standing contributions to the Cytoscape.js project—with pragmatic, get-things-done execution. Known as a partner to business stakeholders, he has led cross-functional product teams across pricing, marketplace design and data protection, and has deep experience operationalizing security-sensitive infrastructure like secrets, HSMs and PCI/PII protections. A seasoned mentor and educator who taught algorithms and discrete math at university level, he brings both technical depth and a talent for change management in large organisations. Under the hood he still writes algorithmic code (e.g., implementing CoSE layout and force calculations for graph visualization), reflecting a rare blend of strategic leadership and continued technical craftsmanship.
