Research Engineer
EEG classification and goalkeeper positioning solve the same problem: extract signal from noise under time pressure. Cognitive science just gave me vocabulary for what sport already taught me.
Based in Utrecht, between brainwave models, AI system builds, and improving my 3 point FG%.
- Finishing my masters degree at UvA
- switching from waterpolo to basketball this season
- Bulding and running a home AI lab.
The throughline
I study how people think, then I build things from what I find. The research trained my eye; the building trained everything else.
The common thread is pattern recognition under pressure — in cognitive science, in goal, and in the systems I build.
Selected work
Research question. Deployed answer.
The Science
EEG Strategy Classification
Can brain activity reveal how someone solved a math problem?
The System
Pre-Trade Compliance Checker
Can an LLM read German fund law better than an analyst?
One is a thesis chapter. The other is in production.
