Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Collier is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience blending functional programming, applied mathematics, and bioinformatics into production-grade software. He holds a PhD in Computational Biology from Monash University and has built high-performance statistical and simulation libraries while teaching advanced algorithms and computational science. Comfortable in Haskell, Purescript, Rust, Lisp, and Python, he specializes in creating reliable tools for scientific and bioinformatics workflows and has moved from research roles in Australia to engineering positions in the Netherlands. Curious and hands-on, he often dives into problems at odd hours and brings a researcher’s rigor to software design and data-driven systems. Currently at Indigo House after several roles at VIB and TOPIC Embedded Systems, he combines deep domain knowledge with practical engineering to deliver efficient, well-typed solutions. An Australian migrant now based in Uden, he pairs rural roots with international experience and a persistent appetite for discovering “amazing things.”
