Portfolio
I am an Actuarial Science student at the University of Amsterdam, an Amsterdam Merit Scholar, and an Honours Programme student. I build data-focused projects and enjoy making challenging ideas clear through teaching and study resources.
PROJECT 01
A match-prediction model for the 2026 World Cup, developed at the University of Amsterdam under Dr. Sven Karbach. It combines expected-goals data, EA FC ratings, and Polymarket odds, with a penalty-shootout module for knockout rounds.
Open ProjectPROJECT 02
An independently built website that explores stock-market outcomes using PCA-based dimensionality reduction and a pairs-trading strategy. I implemented the data pipeline, analysis, signal generation, and deployment.
Open ProjectI combine quantitative work with communication. Alongside my studies, I have created more than 220 study guides used by 800+ students internationally, taught and tutored students in several settings, represented the Faculty of Economics and Business as a student ambassador, and built independent data projects in sports prediction and finance.
My interests include probability, modelling, data analysis, education, and using technology to make information more useful and understandable.
