Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohan Van Doornik is a founder and tech lead with 11+ years of hands-on experience building mathematically intensive data science and full-stack systems for both B2B and B2C markets. He combines deep expertise in algorithms, statistics, and machine learning with pragmatic engineering skills in Python/Django, C/C++, SQL, API and database design, Linux and AWS. Johan has led product and technical strategy from startup ventures to utility-scale projects—most recently founding NLXRobotics while still driving data and backend architecture at Moving Innovations. His background spans academia to industry, including a PhD in biomedical engineering and a postdoctoral stint at Stanford, which informs his rigorous approach to complex problems.
