That early curiosity,\u00a0fueled by racing games, trial-and-error exploration, and a tendency to pull things apart just to see how they worked,\u00a0became the through\u2011line of his career.\u00a0Today, Wouter is recognized as a Microsoft Most Valuable Researcher and recently qualified for Zero Day\u00a0Quest\u00a02026.",
