Job Student at Optioryx

In the final year of my master’s, I joined Optioryx as a job student. This start-up builds AI-powered packing solutions that help logistics companies reduce transportation costs and meet sustainability goals.

When I joined, Optioryx had only two employees, Bart & Gilles. Since then it has become a staple of the Ghent start-up scene. Visit optioryx.com to see the amazing work they’re doing.

My Contribution

I focused on optimizing their 3D bin-packing algorithm. I explored edge cases where it underperformed and proposed a new data structure called Open Spaces to improve its efficiency, which as far as I know Optioryx still uses today. The algorithm work was my favorite contribution, but not the only thing I did there.
