Curious by nature.
Practical by habit.

I’m an engineer and researcher based in Utrecht. I enjoy understanding how things work, finding what could be better, and building a useful answer.

My interest in remote sensing began during my civil-engineering studies. It took me to TU Delft and KNMI, where I worked on algorithms for atmospheric satellite observations. Since then, I’ve worked in energy trading, financial infrastructure and product strategy.

Across those fields, the part I enjoy stays much the same: an open question, people with a real need, and the space to figure things out.

Research, then responsibility.

I like getting close to the details. That can mean tracing an expensive calculation, talking to a trader about a missing dashboard, or working through the assumptions behind a lending product.

I stay involved through implementation, testing and delivery. My work at Curve also involved live incident response, rebuilding contracts, external review and helping integrators use the changes correctly.

What I’m doing now.

During my 2026 sabbatical, I build AI applications, agent runtimes and scientific software. I built Local Pulse as a way to make the culture that is visible on a city’s walls easier to discover online.

Art, music and the creative process are a large part of that interest. I’m drawn to the way people find places, ideas and one another.

A few practical details.

I’m a Dutch citizen based in Utrecht. I speak English, Hindi and Oriya, and conversational Dutch. My research background is a PhD in Atmospheric Remote Sensing and an MSc in Applied Earth Sciences from TU Delft.
