Writing

Opinion pieces

In English:

• For Lumiera, I wrote a newsletter edition: Misleading metaphors: Can ChatGPT be my advisor?
• For Lumiera, I wrote a newsletter edition: Data appetite and AI training: Where creation meets imitation.
• For Amsterdam Alternative: Open Relationsips.
• For Amsterdam Alternative: Men in Feminism and Sexual Discourse

In Dutch (if you wish, the built-in Google translate does quite a good job at translating):

• Voor Trouw: De 'context' kan genocide niet goedpraten.
• Voor Trouw: Angst voor ‘vrije wil’ van AI leidt af van echte problemen.
• Voor Het Parool: De emoties van ChatGPT zijn net zo echt als die van een psychopaat die compassie toont
• Voor Het Parool: Een Marokkaanse jongen die ’s avonds tegen me praat wantrouw ik eerder dan een witte jongen, jij niet?
• Voor Trouw: Kijk ook eens met de niet-westerse bril naar de oorlog.

Others

• For Amsterdam Alternative, I researched free spaces in Lisbon.
• For Amsterdam Alternative, I wrote a short story: A nice night out.
• For Amsterdam Alternative, I conducted an interview with Onderstroom (in Dutch).
• For Global Voices, I have participated in their Civic Media Observatory project. I collaborated on two works as a researcher, not as the main writer:
  • Portugal and the myth of the good colonizer. On racial discourse in Portugal.
  • If on welfare, better learn dutch and be a man. On the discourse around AI usage by the Dutch government.

Data Science

Onja

Data analyst

(March 2024 - Present)

As a data analyst at Onja, I analyse candidate selection and course impact, and help with multiple data-related efforts throughout the organization. As Onja is a start-up, I am often involved in other parts of the organization.

LASIGE

Research Fellow (with Prof. Alcides Fonseca)

(Sept 2021 - Nov 2023)

I have written my thesis with Professor Alcides Fonseca on interpretable feature learning using Grammar-Guided Genetic Programming (GGGP) as part of the CAMELOT project. As part of the thesis, we build Genetic Engine, an open-source GGGP framework in Python. Afterwards, we researched GGGP-based feature learning and GGGP individual representations.

Research fellow (with Prof. Tiago Guerreiro)

(Feb 2021 - Aug 2021)

Worked with Tiago Guerreiro through a Master fellowship, researching gait analysis for motor impaired people. Experimented with transfer learning to personalise gait analysis to make gait analysis more inclusive.

Impact Institute

Research and Development

(Feb 2019 - Aug 2020)

As a Data Scientist and a Software Engineer I was part of the Research and Development team at Impact Institute. I started of as an intern, and later worked as a Project Support Officer, working with Impact Institute for a total of one and a half year. Our main achievement was the creation of the Global Impact Database.
