Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Van Den Broeck is a technical co-founder and engineering leader with a decade of experience building products at the intersection of software, data science, and blockchain. He moves between hands-on development and high-level strategy, having designed DEX and algorithmic stablecoin protocols, co-designed a ZK Validium, and led teams to deliver pragmatic MVPs for startups. His background in theoretical physics and mathematics informs a rigorously analytical approach to problem solving, while a "figure it out" learning mindset keeps him rapidly upskilling across domains. Nick has founded AI and health startups, lectured on testing and research at institutions including Google Zurich and KU Leuven, and blends behavioral psychology and public speaking into his leadership style. Based in Mechelen, Belgium, he’s as comfortable prototyping models and integrations as he is advising founders on product-market fit and technical feasibility.
