Co-founder and CEO of COMPUTD BV, with a BSc in Data Science and Knowledge Engineering, followed by an MSc in Data Science for Decision Making.

My mission is the democratization of Digitalisation. I envision a future where the digital revolution is inclusive, and Data Science and AI are accessible to all, not just a privileged few. At COMPUTD, our approach is simple yet profound: We chart a clear path from point A to B, providing tools that grow with you, from a bike to an aeroplane.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with giants like Mercedes-Benz, Nike, VDL Nedcar, and Boels, delivering impactful solutions tailored to their needs. From creating an intelligent workforce scheduler for a smaller enterprise to transitioning another from outdated tables to a state-of-the-art Azure data warehouse, my journey has been about making AI and Data Science meaningful and actionable.

As we stand on the cusp of a digital era, I see Digitalization as the linchpin of future businesses. But it's essential to tread wisely, leveraging AI not just as a buzzword but as a genuine solution to real-world challenges. My expertise particularly shines in sectors like Customer Service, Automotive, and Retail.

Outside the world of algorithms and data, I'm an avid Dungeons & Dragons player, a dog enthusiast, and above all, a staunch believer in the potential of people. Let's connect, collaborate, and drive the digital future together.
