Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNiels Serup is a Principal Software Engineer based in Copenhagen with 13 years of experience building developer-centric systems, currently leading work in SimCorp’s OTC product area. He holds an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Copenhagen and brings deep expertise in programming languages, compilers, and functional programming — with hands-on C and GPU experience from his MSc and Futhark compiler contributions. Comfortable in POSIX environments, he moves between high-level OCaml and C# production work and low-level systems programming, and has taught compilers and OS courses while mentoring new hires. An active open-source contributor, he helped extend the Futhark data-parallel language’s compiler and editor tooling, reflecting a practical focus on performant parallel code generation. Quick to learn and curious across paradigms, he balances research-era rigor with pragmatic engineering in large, legacy-integrated codebases.
