With Nout Kooij I've founded vanPlestik in 2016. vanPlestik is a startup based in Amsterdam-North, in the Netherlands. We've built a giant 3D printer that is capable of printing high quality furniture with impure waste plastic that would otherwise end up as pollution in our air, forests, rivers and oceans.

Starting as a drone enthusiast I started building Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV's) as early as 2013.After my studies this became a more serious job as I started to do work for HiView and FutureWater.I've gained valuable experience during my work for the Saving Water For Food(SWFF) project in Mozambique where I was Operational Manager for over 7 months.After years of work my abilities and experience now stretches from building custom made UAV's to processing geographic information system (GIS) maps and include:-Building and maintaining UAV's-Prosessing raw UAV data to make ultra high resolution maps and digital elevation models (DEM's)-Classification of various UAV data sources.-Camera conversion from red-green-blue to infrared-green-blue.-Creating workflows and software solutions for other UAV specialists.-Training others to become UAV operators.
