Interests

My interest in the field of linguistics probably originated from my childhood; my mother has been working as a speech therapist for as long as I can remember. Therefore, I am also very interested in linking language and AI. Especially, since it is rather difficult to process language with normal computer programs, whereas AI can be very powerful in this situation.

Cooking is also a big passion of mine; when I have a day off I enjoy serving elaborate dishes, as well as eating them.

I am trying to be very privacy-oriented. I prefer open (and encrypted) solutions over (big) corporate owned products. Instead of paying with my user data, I try to pay with my money as much as I can.
