Distinguishments

Prizes, Competitions, Activities

Founder of Provime

In 2016 I founded the startup called Provime, an anagram for improve. Provime was the Design and Technology company by teenagers. My team and I helped companies develop innovative concepts and products. Our underlying goal was to show the business world that teenagers can have a valuable contribution. I stopped in 2019 to pursue other opportunities.

TU/e Contest finalist

I’ve participated in the TU/e Contest 2020 with my concept ‘Generative Architecture Platform’. An online platform that allows everyone to design his or her building by filling in requirements and goals, which are then processed by design algorithms. I was one of the six finalists in my category.

NXT City Prize finalist

The NXT City Prize was an online design competition to improve the urban design of Toronto, Canada. With my concept of a platform with both physical and digital interfaces that would include suggestive algorithms, I made it to the last 5 finalists.

Student Unit member

Sogeti is a large IT company in the Netherlands. Through somebody I know personally, I got in contact with the Student Unit of Sogeti. This is a group of students who get to attend activities, presentations and conferences on behalf of Sogeti. They also get priority in opportunities for internships.

Team HART co-founder

Team HART (Human Augmentation Research and Technology) is the newest student team at the Technical University of Eindhoven. It focuses on creating wearable prototypes to enhance humans through vibration motors. I was one of the first six students, taking on the role of Acquisition Lead and lead of the hardware cluster

Winner of Challenge

In the school year 2018-2019, I participated in the TU/e Innovation Challenge. This is a competition for senior year high schoolers in which they have to research a technology on how it will be used in 2030. I participated with the technology of generative architecture and won the challenge.

Pitching at Confluente

In 2018, I was invited by Victor Brouwers (Board member of H.S.A Confluente) to pitch Provime and to tell more about teenagers in business. I’ve been complimented for my ability to speak by multiple attendees.

Student Assistant

I was hired in 2019 as a student assistant for the Community & Communications cluster at innovation Space after studying for only a month at the Technical University of Eindhoven. This makes me the youngest student assistant ever at innovation Space. I take on the roles of designing materials, organizing events and managing social media (mainly LinkedIn).

Winner of Technasium

Technasium in an educational organization that offers a course at high schools. For our end project, my team and I developed a concept for the Dutch pavilion at the Dubai Expo. The finale for the region of Brabant-Oost was held in April 2019. We won, bringing home the prize for the first time for our school.

Top Award finalist

The Technasium Top Award is an award for middle school children with their project for the course Technasium. In 2015 my team and I worked on technologies using biomimicry (design inspired by nature) to make school buildings more environmentally friendly. We finished second place.
