Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSimon Van Noort is a database researcher and MSc candidate in Parallel and Distributed Systems, currently writing his thesis at CWI where he’s building a high-performance vector similarity search system in C++. With three years of software engineering experience across startups and tech leaders—Datadog, Google, and Onramper—he blends systems programming and distributed-systems theory with practical full-stack delivery using TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, and Kubernetes. He has a track record of driving automation (cutting manual work and CI times substantially), refactoring core infrastructure used broadly at Google, and turning design documents into production services. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, Java, and modern CI/CD tooling, he pairs academic rigor (formal verification, complexity analysis) with product-minded execution. Based in Warsaw, he brings a rare mix of database internals focus and cross-team collaboration skills that accelerate both research prototypes and production systems.
