Presentation

I am a creativity researcher and software engineer passionate about understanding and enhancing human creativity through interactions with generative AI technologies. I hold a BSc in Multimedia Technology and Design and an MSc in Software Engineering from the University of Amsterdam, where my thesis focused on “Understanding and Enhancing the Creative Performance of Software Engineers.” I worked as a freelance research assistant under Professor Derek Lomas at TU Delft, exploring the intersection of generative AI and creativity. I also collaborated with researcher Katrina Heijne to develop a GPT-powered tool and workshop based on our proposed prompting strategy, “prompt reversal.” My professional experience includes roles as a teaching assistant at UvA and software engineering positions at Centric Software (Amsterdam) and ABB (Athens). Beyond software and research, I have engaged in creative work, contributing to film production at Nomadic Films (London) and recently performing in a dance theatre production.
