Profile
Driven, analytical and problem-solving-loving M.Sc. student with a big interest in technology, creation and logical thinking.With experience in music production, customer service and logistics I have a unique insight in working with and delivering results in teams with many different types of personalities. I'm curious, take initiatives and I'm always looking on how to improve products and workflows. I'm interested in exploring how technology, with the help of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and programming in general, can be used to make life better and more fun for people. I thrive on new challenges and love making people laugh!
