About Me

I’m a Computer Science Master’s graduate from TU Delft with experience in both academia and industry, spanning software development, computer vision, and ethical AI. My Master’s thesis focused on bias in action recognition models, where I built synthetic datasets to test fairness and robustness in line with the EU AI Act. Alongside research, I’ve improved scalability at Amazon Web Services and led 200+ TAs at TU Delft, gaining a reputation for ownership and collaboration. I thrive at the intersection of technical depth and real-world impact, building systems that are not only efficient but also fair, scalable, and meaningful for the people who use them.
