I have made countless GameMaker games in my spare time between 2008 and 2014. A small selection is available here (Windows Defender might complain, sorry!).
During my Bachelor's and Master's programmes at TU/e, I have had programming jobs at various companies.

An Experimental Study of Context-Free Path Query Evaluation Methods
Santa Cruz, CA, USA
July 2019
Master's Thesis
Malmö, Sweden
March – January 2020 10m
I integrated a new type of index into the Neo4j query pipeline. This change affected the full query pipeline; query planning, query execution and transaction processing (index maintenance).
I also looked into which type of query and data patterns best benefited this type of index to speed up query performance and found some useful heuristics for finding use-cases that can be sped-up with this index.
Research Internship
Malmö, Sweden
August – November 2018 3m
An experimental study on querying recursive (context-free) path patterns in graph databases. I examined existing literature, built a prototype, ran experiments, evaluated performance and presented the results in a final report.
This internship was done with supervisors from both Neo4j and Eindhoven University of Technology.
This study was expanded and published in SSDBM'19 in July 2019.
