Experience
Open Source Software Maintainer & Developer
Aug 2020 — Present
I am a maintainer on the uutils project, which aims to reimplement the GNU coreutils in Rust. The project is entirely open source with an active community on GitHub. We strive for perfect compatibility with the existing GNU utilities.
Developer
Oct 2019 — Aug 2023
Bit develops innovative prototypes from the ground up using cutting-edge technologies. I work at Bit as a developer and have worked on many projects, from data science to mobile applications and advanced routing algorithms.
Coach
Sep 2020 — Aug 2021
The Bit Academy teaches programming at MBO level. I coached MBO students, teaching them web programming and data science with technologies such as HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, SQL & Python.
Data Science Intern
Sep 2019 — Dec 2019
MLP applies machine learning in the insurance industry. I worked here as a data science intern, where I applied many machine learning strategies and techniques to real data.
Blikopener
Sep 2015 — Dec 2018
The Blikopeners are young Amsterdam residents who aim to awaken their friends and other peers’ enthusiasm for art and culture. They look at art from a fresh perspective and share their ideas about current affairs, programs and exhibitions. The Blikopeners also organize tours, workshops & events in the museum.
Education
Master in Computer Science
