Sports & Fitness
I'm passionate about staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My sports activities include running, cycling, and strength training. I track my workouts and share my progress on Strava and Rawa.
In 2022, I created my first AI-assisted programming project: a visual map of all running events in The Netherlands. This interactive visualization displays running races across the country, showing distances and locations for athletes and enthusiasts.
Reading & Literature
Reading is one of my greatest passions. I maintain an active reading habit, exploring a wide range of genres including classics, biographies, science fiction, and non-fiction. I track my reading progress and share reviews on Goodreads.
Stamp Collecting
I collect postal stamps with a focus on space exploration — commemorating humanity's greatest achievements in reaching beyond our planet. From early Sputnik issues to modern Mars missions, these miniature artworks document our journey to the stars.
