About

Study

During high school I was extremely interested in computer and the course computer science. After high school graduation, it was an easy choice to star my Computer Science study at Utrecht University. With my bachelor degree in the pocket in the nominal three years, I decided to pursue at University Utrecht with the master Computing Science, but with a strong focus on Algorithmic Data Analysis. In those 2 years of my research master I laid the of my data career. My master’s theses was about Twitter sentiment analysis.

Career

The first years of my career were about learning tools and technologies and how you apply these to help clients. In contrast to my years at the university, where problems were theoretical and abstract, I could really create impact with building technical data solutions. During my consultancy years at Avanade, MIcompany, Accenture and Navara, I combined my consultancy skills with my deep technology knowledge. In the last couple of years I was the lead data engineer and/ or architect of the implementation of data platforms at several clients in the Netherlands.

Private life

In my private life I like to be active and push my own boundaries. Exploring new sports and improving myself gives me energy. I achieved some great goals, however the road to achieve those goals gives me a greater fulfilment than actually the achievement itself. Running a marathon, cycling the Stelvio were great experiences to train and actively look to the limits of my own body.
