AI Data Scientist @ ACE · MSc AI, VU Amsterdam · Based in the Netherlands
I build LLM systems that actually ship — RAG, knowledge graphs, agentic workflows and MCP —
for Dutch financial institutions.
Increasingly interested in the other half of the problem: can we tell what these systems are actually doing - eXplainable, aligned and safe AI
- 🛡️ AI alignment & safety is the problem I care most about — I'm going deep on explainable AI and mechanistic interpretability: SHAP/LIME in production, then attribution, probing, and hallucination detection in LLMs.
- 🧩 Neuro-symbolic AI — my MSc thesis showed that giving an LLM the schema of a knowledge graph before it answers is worth +8.9 accuracy points on EU legal KGQA, across five models (GPT-3.5, Llama-3, Mixtral, …). Structure is cheap; hallucination is expensive.
- ⚙️ Day job: LLM-RAG pipelines, evaluation harnesses, MCP orchestration and knowledge-graph engineering under EU AI Act / GDPR constraints.
- 🎛️ Nights: Philosophy | Psychology | DJing
CLARIAH/CoW — contributor ⭐ 48
An integrated CSV → RDF converter built on the W3C CSVW standard, developed by VU Amsterdam, Utrecht University and the IISH under the NWO-funded CLARIAH project.
I worked on the conversion pipeline during my time at VU Amsterdam, improving CSV→knowledge-graph throughput by 65.3% through memoization and caching, plus an interactive GUI for schema editing.
