03 / The person behind the pipelines

Curiosity,
put to work.

My curiosity about computers started with the questions I asked my father while he worked.

I still enjoy discovering new technology and explaining it clearly to other people. In our HYF events project, the best part was delivering the data my teammates needed to bring the app to life. That’s what draws me to data engineering: building something useful that others can trust.

I’ve completed the HackYourFuture Core and Data Track and now study AI at VU Amsterdam. I’m looking for a working-student role in data or analytics engineering, around 16 hours a week, with unrestricted permission to work in the Netherlands.
