Machine Learning Engineer
@Robovision

Partnering with ILVO and Ghent University, I worked on a hyperspectral imaging research track for about a year. I took over support & development for ISO Group's tulip bulb planting system for one season. In the meantime, I also co-developed a harvesting aid solution for smart glasses. (TensorFlow | Python)

Machine Learning Engineer
@Marelec

In just 3 weeks, I classified 7 different fish species using transfer learning on images. I was able to achieve a perfect 100 % accuracy on the test set. Six months later I spent one more week to update the codebase to the newest API version and added support for training on GPUs. I was also able to decrease the loss while keeping perfect accuracy, even when there were 2 more classes. (ML.NET | C# || TensorFlow | Python)

Machine Learning Engineer
@Robovision

Over a time span of six weeks, I improved the accuracy and robustness of vision software for cutting machines. To be more specific, I used Deep Learning on 3D point clouds for part segmentation of seedlings of roses. (TensorFlow | Python)

Software Developer
@Marelec

During six weeks, I was part of the software division in Marelec. I fixed bugs and developed tools that would help them during development, testing, or debugging. (.NET | C & C# || Python)

Mechanic
@Marelec

Five weeks of mechanical assembling experience.

Master of Science in Computer Science Engineering with a Major in Artificial Intelligence (English)
@Ghent University

• The subject of my thesis was: "Comparative Study of Convolutional Neural Networks in Flux and Torch". I implemented Deep Learning features in the Julia programming language, compared their performance with other frameworks, and sped them up. (Flux | Julia)
• The goal of my team's design project was to create a mobile fitness app for both, Android and iOS. It synchronizes heart rate, workout pace, and music beats. (Flutter | Dart)
• For a project of the course Deep Learning, we used Reinforcement Learning to train an agent that can play Othello. (TensorFlow | Python)
• Courses AI, ML, DL, Big Data, NLP, Security, etc. (scikit-learn & TensorFlow | Python)

Graduated cum laude (67 %)

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Engineering (Dutch)
@Ghent University

• The goal of my team's cross-curricular project was to make drones fly autonomously in a warehouse with the help of Raspberry Pis and Pozyx. (C# | Unity || Python || Node.js | JavaScript)
• The goal of my first engineering project was to make a step counting app for Android. (Java)
• For the second engineering project, I made an analog clock from a recycled hard drive, by controlling LEDs with a Dwenguino. (C++)
• Programming courses, databases, operating systems, networking, etc. (Java || MATLAB || C & C++)

Graduated cum laude (68 %).

Mathematics and Science (Dutch)
@Immaculata Institute De Panne

• The curriculum consisted of mostly science subjects and 8 hours of mathematics a week.

Graduated magna cum laude (80 %).

Student Fraternity
@Koksijde

I am one of the first members of a recently founded student fraternity called 'Moeder Peerdevisscher'. During the academic year of 2017 - 2018, I was responsible for PR and in the next academic year, I was elected as secretary. I designed their website (moederpeerdevisscher.be) and created a stock exchange system for an annual party 'Capital Booze' (1000 attendees). (HTML, CSS & JavaScript || Java)
