I work as a Software Engineer at the Department of Laboratory Medicine of the UMCG, where technology, innovation, and impact converge. Leading a variety of projects—from small quality-of-life improvements to complex, multidisciplinary initiatives—I focus on creating a vision for improvement and guiding teams to turn it into reality. I find great fulfillment in translating possibilities into actionable outcomes that drive meaningful change.As a polyglot developer, I bring expertise in languages like Golang, PHP, Python, R, SQL, and Bash, along with experience in AI and machine learning tools such as TensorFlow and the ChatGPT API. My approach goes beyond coding—I’m passionate about helping others envision potential improvements, building consensus, and collaborating to bring ideas to life. Whether enhancing patient health or optimizing departmental workflows, I’m driven by the tangible results of a shared vision successfully executed.Outside of work, my passion for innovation extends to tinkering with 3D printing and microcontrollers like Arduino, combining curiosity and creativity to explore new possibilities. I’m motivated by the joy of solving problems, inspiring others, and making systems and processes better for everyone involved.
