I’m a Data Solutions Lead at Amazon. I hold a Research Master’s degree in Computational Linguistics from Utrecht University and a Master's degree in Intercultural Communication from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Before joining Amazon, I worked as an AI Engineer at Rabobank and held research and applied roles at TNO, Utrecht University's CDH, CLARIAH, and Boston University’s PAMLab, during my stay as a Fulbright scholar. My main areas of interest are: Natural Language Processing, Generative AI, Conversational AI and Machine Learning.
When I’m not working, I like to read, travel, play videogames or boardgames, and do Pilates.
