I'm a Data Scientist at Booking.com, working in Amsterdam ๐ณ๐ฑ . I hold a PhD in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow in Scotland ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ .
- I like to write code, particularly in Python and JavaScript. But I can write in many other languages confidently, too. ๐จโ๐ป
- I co-authored Tango with Django, so you may be able to tell I have a particular interest in web technologies. ๐
- I like to build and engineer software from the ground up, and think about how different components fit together. I helped engineer a prototype system at Microsoft, and it got patented! So I must be good at that. ๐๏ธ
- I'm the main developer on the LogUI project, a prototype system developed at TUDelft that focuses on the logging of user interactions in a web-based environment. It won an award at ECIR 2021! ๐
- I really like drawing pictures in Adobe Illustrator, and visualising complex things with Illustrator, too. ๐จ
- I like to do science, specifically when looking at how people behave and interact with search engines, and extracting insights from lots and lots of numbers. ๐งช
- I also like teaching and doing talks about things, whether it be about my research, or about more squishy things in life, like my experiences of doing x, y or z. It's good to share! ๐จโ๐ซ
