What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a junior data science, machine learning, or research-oriented role.

At Hasselt University, I developed a mask-based pipeline for classifying catheter tip positions from chest X-rays. I implemented skeleton-based tip localisation and compared machine-learning models using engineered features and cross-validation.

I trained PyTorch models on VSC Leuven computing infrastructure and documented the methods, visual diagnostics, and study limitations. My research is supported by a peer-reviewed publication on a hybrid U-Net architecture for medical image segmentation.

In hackathons, I designed prototypes for airfield-lighting fault localisation and Dutch-language regulatory question answering. I’m completing an MSc in Statistics and Data Science and bring hands-on experience in Python/R modelling, computer vision, and scientific computing.
