I’m a Bachelor’s student in Data Science & AI @ Maastricht University, driven by a passion for turning complex problems into elegant, data-driven solutions. I’ve competed in programming contests, participated in hackathons, and led project teams — all because I love combining logic with creativity. Outside of academia, I’m interested in startups, economics, and chess.
