Speaker Bio
Veronica grew up in Chicago and studied Computer Science at the University of Illinois. After interning with IMC, she joined as a Software Engineer in 2017, working with traders and other engineers on developing, testing, and improving trading strategies. In September 2020, Veronica transferred to the IMC Amsterdam office to help build and lead a new engineering team there, doing Java and frontend development. Recently, she returned to the Chicago office to help start a team focused on Python development and back-testing. She has been involved in the growth of IMC as an intern mentor, engineering manager, and trainer at IMC’s global new-hire traineeship. She loves the fast-paced, challenging work of being an engineer at a top trading firm.
Fun Fact: Outside of work, Veronica loves exploring cafes in search of the best matcha latte, spending time with her dachshund Lucy, and hiking (although she has to travel pretty far from Amsterdam or Chicago to find any mountains).
