Software Engineer Intern
Dec 2025 – June 2026Trein-vertraging · Amsterdam
- Designed and built a recommendation service in Laravel that analyzes user travel patterns against projected usage to suggest the right plan for each user — projected to save users €2.1M/year and now a core part of the platform's Pro tier.
- Redesigned the platform's communication system, consolidating scattered logic into a single reliable service with rate-limiting, deduplication, and scheduled sending — eliminating duplicate messages and reducing messaging-related support complaints.
- Built an end-to-end customer-support integration with AI-driven routing that automatically categorizes queries, lifting automated resolution from 31% to 65% and cutting manual support work.
- Contributed to the integration of rail data from major operators across nine European countries, building normalization and entity-matching logic that unified real-time and timetable feeds through UIC-based and geospatial station mapping.

Online Multiplayer Football Manager
Python · FastAPI · React
- Real-time multiplayer backend where users join league sessions, manage squads, and trade players on a live transfer market against other players and AI bots — FastAPI + async SQLAlchemy 2.0 (PostgreSQL), with Celery / Redis workers driving match simulation, season progression, and bots.
- Engineered a deterministic match-simulation engine and a transactional-outbox event pipeline for reliable updates; validated with unit, property, and load tests (k6, Locust).
- Set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions — automated testing on every change and Dockerized deployments to dev and production.
