I'm a (freelance) data engineer/scientist, MSc artificial intelligence student (University of Amsterdam), and passionate about research into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics.

I obtained my BSc at Amsterdam University College, where I focused my studies on biomedical sciences and computer science. Since graduating in 2018 I have been working as a data scientist and data engineer alongside my MSc studies.

I'm also an emacs and org-mode evangelist.
