I am Thomas Houweling, a quantitative developer and data/software professional with strong foundations in mathematics and statistics, specializing in algorithms, data systems, and applied modeling. I take end-to-end ownership of projects, moving quickly from problem definition and prototyping to production-ready systems, including scalable pipelines, APIs, and analytic web applications. With a PhD in neuroscience and experience across research and data/software contexts, I combine a rigorous, detail-oriented approach with a pragmatic, execution-focused mindset to deliver results under real-world constraints. I communicate complex technical ideas clearly and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
