Senior🎓
Top SchoolThijs Van Den Berg is a founder and Chief Quant Engineer with 17 years of experience building production-ready quant systems, machine learning platforms, and real-time model deployments across finance and simulation-heavy domains. He founded Simu.ai to convert slow pricing engines, risk systems and simulation environments into compact neural approximations that run in real time, combining numerical methods, quantitative modelling and modern ML. Previously he led AI & Quantitative Research at Shell Asset Management, operating a high-throughput Azure/Databricks research→production platform that delivered live trading strategies and robust model monitoring. His background spans academic research (part-time PhD in large-scale real-time data processing), lecturing on advanced ML for the CQF, and deep consulting experience across banks, insurers and utilities. Known for turning complex, regulated models into auditable, deployable software (Python libraries, Docker/REST, WebAssembly), he balances theoretical rigor with pragmatic engineering. An early floor trader and co-founder of algorithmic trading ventures, he brings both market intuition and hands-on systems delivery to solve latency- and accuracy-critical problems.
