About the Speaker:
Roderick van Nievelt, Backend Engineer at NetRanks (AI visibility startup) and ex- Adevinta (parent company of Marktplaats), offers an inside look at what a career in tech looks like behind the job titles.
In this session, we explore the real differences between working in a startup and a large international company - from speed and responsibility to growth and impact - and what those choices mean for your early career.
He will also share insights into what NetRanks is building, how AI is reshaping the way companies operate, and what helps students stand out in a market that changes faster than any curriculum. This session will be a practical and honest conversation for anyone trying to figure out where they fit in the tech landscape.
