MY WORK


Below are some of the projects I have worked on or am working on.

Project Forum - Project Lead

October 2019 - Ongoing


I am the project lead for the open-source software system called Project Forum, which is a platform for supporting project-based and group-based education. Anyone (companies, researchers, ...) can propose projects (internships, research projects, ...) for courses or programmes. Students can then indicate preferences, make groups directly or orient themselves depending on the course and programme. Project Forum makes the administration for project-based education easy, and makes group allocations fast, fair and "optimal".

Peer - Project Lead

July 2022 - Ongoing


I am the project lead for a peer review platform developed for the TU Delft. Peer makes it easy to have students review each others work and give feedback. We are currently working to make the software available as open source.
