Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my corner of the internet. 🌻
I am currently based in Utrecht, The Netherlands 🇳🇱, but I've also spent a significant amount of time in Orange County, California 🇺🇸.
I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from Utrecht University and a BSc in Psychology & Technology from TU/e.
I'm currently exploring the Analytics Engineering space (whatever that means nowadays), so I consider myself proficient in SQL. This interest sparked during my time at Floryn, where I migrated the company from Looker to Metabase (check out our case study) and refactored legacy code from LookML to dbt.
I also advocate for open-source software, which leads me to...
community
"de maatschappij, dat ben jij"Where it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a random person in Nebraska thanklessly maintaining a project since 2003 to keep all modern infrastructure up and running.
I strongly believe that we can make the world a better place if we hold by the campground rule and leave things better than how we found them. As a woman in tech, I have received a lot of opportunities that allowed me to get to where I am in my career - the kickstart being a Kode With Klossy scholarship in 2016. Whether tech-related or not, I strive to give back to the community where I can, so others can receive even more opportunities than I did.
In terms of OSS, I've contributed to the following repositories:
Outside of my IDE, my community involvement includes:
- reviewing applications for NCWIT's Aspirations in Computing HS award
- organizing + speaking at a dbt meetup
- publishing hidden gems on Atlas Obscura
hobbies
If I'm not staring at a screen, you can find me on the bouldering wall 🧗🏽♂️, playing viola in an orchestra 🎻, trying a new craft beer 🍺, trying to fingerpick on an acoustic guitar 🎸, reading a good book 📖, or chasing my next sidequest 🔍.
