About
I've always wanted to understand how things work, systems especially. Programming was a natural fit: it's a system you can take apart, build and control with nothing but a PC, and it's logic, puzzles and problem solving all at once. I'm also drawn to biology and physics, and AI was where those interests came together, with programming, ideas from nature and data in one field. That's what made me choose to study it.
I spent part of my childhood in France, so I speak Dutch, English and French. I studied AI at VU Amsterdam, first the bachelor's with a minor in business administration, now the master's.
Alongside my studies I work part-time as an ML / AI engineer at a Dutch consultancy, building classification, forecasting, NLP and agent-based systems on Azure. At home I run open models on my own server to see how much fits on modest hardware.
