I'm a Clinical Technology bachelor student at TU Delft with a strong interest in neurotechnology and hardware software systems. I work with Python based data analysis, computational modeling, and enjoy translating biological systems into engineering solutions. My interests have led me to pursue real world projects in robotics, digital platforms, and humanitarian engineering. I'm seeking a Neuroengineering Internship in the United States focused on next generation brain computer interfaces.

Surgical Robotics Intern

Amphia Hospital, Netherlands

  • Attended over 20 surgical procedures, including more than 15 robot assisted operations using the Da Vinci surgical robot alongside Dr. J.H. Wijsman, MD, Attending Surgeon (GI & Oncologic Surgery)
  • Practiced robotic simulations alongside live clinical workflows on the Da Vinci surgical robot, under the guidance of Dr. P. Gobardhan, MD, Attending Surgeon (GI & Oncologic Surgery)
  • Contributed to early discussions on future haptic feedback integration in surgical robotics with Dr. P. Gobardhan, MD, Attending Surgeon
  • Gained hands on exposure to human robot interaction in high stakes clinical environments

Besides my studies, I run a few projects that genuinely interest me: the Community Incentive Program in Namibia, The Farm orphanage in South Africa, and Happie, an app I am developing.

Community Incentive Program

I designed and implemented a scalable incentive system exchanging food for a trash bag of collected waste in Epukukiro, Namibia. We achieved sustained removal of over 50 trash bags of garbage per collection day. With 2 collection days per week, we supplied hundreds of people with food while continuously keeping the streets of the township clean.

The farm, orphanage, Gordons Bay, South Africa

An ongoing family-led project establishing an orphanage in Gordons Bay to support children transitioning off the streets into stable family environments. I contribute to technical coordination, hands on operational support, and website development. The project includes on site volunteers, a community sewing workshop, and the development of a farm based kitchen. I lead this in close coordination with my parents, including a permanent on-site presence of my sister.

Happie

I designed and developed a full stack application for meal and event planning for students and families. I implemented the backend infrastructure, data handling, and user flows. The application is finalized and entering the App Store release phase.

Wildlife Conservation Program

Central Namibia

Participated in animal preservation efforts, contributing to wildlife protection and habitat conservation initiatives.

Lifeline Medical Outreach

Eastern Namibia

Volunteered at a rural health clinic providing essential medical care and support to underserved communities.
