Last year, I took a job at a nuclear company over big tech.
People thought I was crazy.
I was 19. The youngest intern there. Got to work on a $3B+ power plant refurbishment soon to supply 40% of Romania's energy.
I didn't take that role for the resume. I took it because the work mattered. The job was bigger than me. It had a real purpose, and it helped real people.
And while I'm incredibly grateful for the other amazing offers and opportunities that came my way this season, when it came to my career, this was undeniably, in my heart, the right call.
On that note, I am BEYOND excited to announce that I’m joining Wealthsimple!
Summer 2026 — Software & Machine Learning Engineer (and maybe a few other things I can't talk about yet 👀)
I'll be working on the teams building the tools that make a difference in the financial lives of millions of Canadians.
A massive thank you to Diederik for bringing me onboard and being one of the coolest CTO's I've ever spoken with, and to Belle Espada for being my guardian angel throughout the whole process.
I'm ready to give this my all. More to come.
See you in Toronto this summer.
