Experience
Data And AI Mentor | Techionista Academy | 03/2022 - Present
The company's goal is to bridge the gender gap in the IT field.
My role is to provide training and support through tech guides and coding exercises on topics of the cloud,
data analysis, and artificial intelligence. We specialize on Azure infrastructure, but also in teaching Python
and SQL for data analysis and data engineering. I am also in charge of implementing a chatbot to better assist our students,
as well as of designing and scripting an Ethics for AI learning track.
Teacher Assistant | Radboud University | 09/2019 - 07/2022
My tasks included hosting teaching sessions, mentoring groups up to 15 students,
grading their assignments and exams and meeting regularly with the corresponding professors
to improve the quality of the courses. The topics covered throughout these courses focus on
neuroscience and the intersection of AI, real-life applications of AI and their ethical ramifications,
the needed mathematical basis for AI, as well as academic writing and project management. Across 3 years, I was a Teacher Assistant for
the following courses: Brain for AI, Societal Impact of AI, Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Academic Skills.
Chief of Education | AI Study Association CognAC | 09/2020 - 09/2021
Led an association of 600 Bachelor and Master Artificial Intelligence students
and with a 60.000€ capital during the high point of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was responsible
for the communication with the educational department, as well as for providing study-related
services such as a book exchange and a tutoring network. My board oversaw up to 3-5 events a
week meant to encourage connecting, well-being, and skill improvement. In addition, I was chair
of the Study and Symposium committees. Our crash courses on AI courses have over 2000 views on YouTube
and our symposium on AI and Education hosted 6 speakers and 50 guests.
Finally, CognAC signed collaboration contracts with 10+ Dutch tech companies in healthcare, distribution, and consulting.
App Developer | GelijkSpel Social Gaming | 02/2020 - 12/2020
As part of a start-up, I built a functional and adaptive back-end in
Android Studio for a game app meant to help dementia patients reconnect with their care-givers.
Education
Master Digital Sciences | Université Paris Cité | 09/2022 - Present
An interdisciplinary program rooted in research and with focus on artificial
intelligence, data analysis, and robotics. Our main course is Artificial Intelligence,
where we build machine learning models and neural networks applications. I have also completed NLP
Extended Reality, Data Science, Robotics, Open Science, and Agile Methodologies courses.
Bachelor Artificial Intelligence | Radboud University | 09/2018 - 08/2022
Completed 185 credits worth of courses on programming, logic, mathematics, neuroscience,
social sciences. My thesis focused on gender bias in AI and was awarded with a final grade of 9.
As part of this project, I performed sentiment analysis on chatbot messages to analyze how gender
is embedded in speech.
