Co-owner and Hardware/Software Engineer

Kubiko

Together with Folkert Huizinga we started our own company, Kubiko. We are creating an autonomous device to scare birds from offshore helicopter platforms. The device locates each individual bird using computer vision and deep learning. A mirror controlled laser beam is directed to the ground on a fair distance of the bird and then moves in the direction of the bird at high speed. The bird sees this sudden approach as an attack and flies away.

Computer Vision Expert

Eagle Vision Systems

After completing my masters study in artificial intelligence I started working as a full-time employee in the people logistics department of Eagle Vision. My main job is to improve and extend our distributed people tracking platform and to get these systems up and running at our customers.

Eagle Vision's platform contains a lot of components and in consultation with our customers I decide which modules suit their needs or which extensions need to be made for their application. Some example applications are: counting people in a cue, preventing jams in airports and securing entrance gates or heavy machinery.

AMETHIST Developing People B.V.

Amethist is a very interesting company that organizes personality trainings and personal coaching. It is a small company that has great ideas about our world and the way we act in this world. The founder of Amethist discovered how people act automatically as a result of what they have previously experienced in their lives and how everyone is able to change this automatic behavior.

My job was to ensure that as many people as possible hear from the ideas of Amethist. I achieved this by optimizing the website, applying some SEO, thinking about the presentation of our promotional material and our course material and participating as a co-trainer and team leader.
