Interests
Beyond my technical work, I enjoy running and staying active. I'm active within student activities, and enjoy going for a (craft) beer at the Beiaard. I love travelling and experiencing different cultures, my gap year in Australia was a great experience and I'd love to go back one day. I'm always eager to learn new technologies and enjoy prototyping and creating physical products that solve real problems.
