Some projects
- Data-mined political compass of the Dutch congressional chamber. Repository
- From Scribble To Readable. Webshop
- A notebook containing the guide to writing mathematical symbols like you’re in kindergarten. This was my COVID summer project with Tristan Trouwen. Fun article about the whole thing
- Team HART, a university and industry funded team of ~18 students. We developed a sleeve that can give haptic feedback representing any type of information. The user learns to interpret these vibrations, effectively learning a new sense. Our first application allowed the user to understand a foreign language, in real time. I joined HART as the first generation of students after the founders in early 2021, and left in February 2022. Some media highlights:
Books
- Booklog
- Excerpts of books I read and my scattered thoughts on them.
- An overview, numerically, of my reading since 2018.
