Making life a bit more beautiful every day. That is my goal. I am a program manager and team coordinator at the Utrecht Archives and entrepreneur, leading projects that combine online, (linked open) data, culture, and often AI. I am specialized in the creation of online platforms and websites, working together with the cultural institutions, developers, designers, AI specialists, the customer and users. In addition to project managent, I focus on the validation with users, testing, crowdsourcing and AI training.
I founded my own company Aincient to facilitate easier research using the benefits of Artificial Intelligence and created Cleo, the AI Egyptology platform (cleo.aincient.org). Trained as an Egyptologist and Marketer, I pursued a corporate career in the financial industry. I saw the potential of applying the latest technologies to the study of ancient cultures and decided to help building bridges between the tech world and cultural institutions. I have been using my experience ever since to create online platforms in the cultural sector.
