Jakob Botsch Nielsen

Hi, my name is Jakob. I am a software engineer from Aarhus, Denmark working remotely at Microsoft on the .NET JIT compiler. You can find me day-to-day on GitHub.

Before my switch to Microsoft I was a PhD student in the Logic and Semantics group at Aarhus University where I applied formal methods in the area of smart contracts using the Coq proof assistant. I am still interested and sometimes active in projects like ConCert and MetaCoq.
