CS student at VU Amsterdam.
Interested in AI-assisted tooling and what good software looks like.
Currently shipping side projects and documenting the learning process.
I'm a VU Computer Science student who's into AI-powered software. Currently learning core SWE skills while also building self-study tools (like this StudyBot I wrote about) and exploring ML/HCI/AI tooling on the side. Outside of code, you'll find me with my Canon camera in one of the big Amsterdam parks. (in good weather, of course).
Custom Telegram bot connected to a Groq API that turns study materials into active recall questions. Supports PDF uploads, approve/reject filtering, scheduled question delivery, and weak-topic tracking. 130+ vetted questions generated in one week.
AI-powered news dashboard. Node.js app that aggregates Reddit and NewsAPI feeds, with Groq LLM integration for AI-generated summaries. Proxied multiple APIs through an Express backend.
Flask web app connected to the Hacker News API and Groq LLM as a daily startup judgment trainer. Fetches Show HN posts, selects and structures the 3 most interesting startups for evaluation (viability, reasoning, risk, confidence), then reveals an AI-generated critique post-submission. Sessions persist in SQLite with full history tracking.
Personal Projects
Building AI-powered tools that solve problems I run into daily. Projects range from a Telegram bot for spaced repetition to a news aggregator with LLM-generated summaries to a full-stack web app for startup evaluation practice. Stack spans Python, Node.js, Flask, Express, SQLite, and multiple APIs, with each project shipped end-to-end from idea to working product.
Hearts of Iron IV Community
Built, maintained and optimized a multisystem mod using Paradox's scripting framework, reaching hundreds of downloads. Achieved ~30% improvement in in-game performance through mod optimization.
Grew community from 30 to 500+ members, leading a team of 8 moderators. Organized 50+ events with 80%+ capacity fill rate. Built advertising bots and tracked member analytics (performance stats, win/loss ratios) via spreadsheets. Brokered partnerships yielding shared sessions and 2 competitive tournaments. Handled moderation and conflict resolution across the community.
