Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Data and ML leader with a PhD in Machine Learning and AI from the University of Amsterdam. Currently Chief Data Officer at New Black, building data platforms and ML-ready pipelines for real-time insights. Serial entrepreneur with a successful exit as CTO of StoreShippers, and co-founder of Zero-G and Simpli Development. Research background spans computer vision, multi-task learning, and cultural heritage analytics, with publications in top venues (ICCV, CVIU, TOMM, ACM MM) and collaborations with institutions like the Rijksmuseum. Bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and production-ready systems.
Outside of work, I make music and DJ, ferment and craft homemade hot sauces, skate, climb, and take care of my golden retriever, Willie Nelson.
Leading a team of 3 engineers on the Data & ML direction, building practical systems to deliver insights in real time. Work includes multi-model recommenders using pruned transformers and statistical models, data platform engineering for ML-ready pipelines (Databricks, PyTorch, ggml, vLLM), and internal data tool development and deployment.
Laid the foundations of New Black's data platform, designing core architecture for reliable, scalable data use. Implemented the medallion architecture across the organization, delivered end-to-end data pipelines from ingestion to live dashboards, and established the backbone for analytics, reporting, and machine learning capabilities.
Building high-reliability systems and cost-efficient software solutions for e-commerce and logistics.
Design of user interactions with an LLM through visual and conversational alignment, building a mental health support agent powered by custom RAG flows and a medical knowledge database.
Designed and developed an international shipping platform software that converted regular stores into fulfilment warehouses for greener more efficient shipping. Led an interdisciplinary team of engineers and designers to scale across 15 countries in less than 10 months. Exited in March 2024.
Founded a software development company with 5 engineers specializing in Django and surveillance image stitching. Design and develop bespoke applications for web and mobile platforms.
Collaboration on scientific research in the computer vision, machine learning and multimedia domains.
Built a realtime instance segmentation engine for a large dataset of rigid objects under diverse controlled lighting conditions for training a model that powers such characters a AR game.
Developed attribute-driven deep models for representing semantics and contextual understanding behind Frank van der Salm's work for the N_O_W_H_E_R_E exhibition.
Research partner for the VISTORY project at the premier art museum of the Netherlands, applying computer vision to the museum's collection. Hosted and participated in interdisciplinary colloquiums with professionals from diverse domains. Work resulted in scientific publications and graduated master students in AI and Computer Vision.
Rails backend development and machine learning on proprietary data.
Machine learning, deep learning, image processing and data science research as part of the MAESTRA Project.
