Hello
I'm Sieger, a Software Developer, and current Media student at the University of Amsterdam. Ever since I was a child I've been in love with history, as well technical solutions. I'm passionate about the intersection of technology and culture, especially the prospects that lie in the field of
Digital Humanities
.

In my master's I hope to grow in my expertise on humanities research skills, and the technical as well as critical aspects of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

I've been lucky to work on some cool projects, developing Machine Learning models during my bachelor's specialization, as well as work for many interesting clients as a developer at Fabrique.

Outside of my work and study, you'll find me playing guitar, reading, or running half-marathons. I'm constantly seeking new ways to grow professionally and personally, and I'm excited to see where my next project will take me.
