My journey began at Delft University of Technology, where I pursued a degree in Computer Science and Engineering. During my studies, I developed a strong passion for innovation and sustainability, particularly in the automotive and energy sectors. Immersed in projects that combined cutting-edge technology and environmental consciousness, I was inspired to explore how engineering could drive a cleaner, more sustainable future.

My role at Forze Hydrogen Racing allows me to bring together two of my greatest passions: sustainable energy and motorsport. As Software Engineer, I get to contribute to a team that builds hydrogen-powered race cars, a perfect fusion of performance and sustainability. This position uniquely blends my interest in high-speed engineering with my drive to promote green energy solutions, making every day both exciting and meaningful.

In my current role, I am developing the embedded system of the car, specifically writing and testing the software for it, from FSMs and device drivers to the whole safety net of the car. I collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure that every project, whether it’s designing a new component or preparing for a race, aligns with our mission of advancing hydrogen technology. From analysing performance data to managing external partnerships, my work is all about pushing boundaries and championing the future of sustainable motorsport.
