About

I build AI systems. After my PhD in Machine Learning at the University of Amsterdam, I founded The AI Factory which partners with other organisations the create AI products. Some things I've built recently: Parlinq Never again miss a political development that affects your portfolio. FirstRing A crisis communication platform built to perform when everything else fails. Murmel A Dutch speech-to-text model and platform that outperforms alternatives on Dutch speech, hosted and made entirely within the Netherlands. I also wrote De AI Revolutie and gave 50+ keynotes. If you want to build something real, or need a speaker who knows the technical details whilst exploring what AI means for you, send me a message!
