I'm a data scientist based in Amsterdam, currently working at Spotify.
I work on projects aimed at enhancing the productivity and experience of developers, using research and data analysis to inform our platform strategies.
When I'm not working, I enjoy pursuing personal side projects, playing tennis, and taking photos.
Please get in touch!
I love helping others, and if you have a project or career question that I might be able to assist with, feel free to reach out to me. Whether you're interested in collaborating on one of my open ideas or need feedback on something you're making, I'm always happy to chat. Don't hesitate to drop me an email or connect with me on Twitter.
