Vaardigheden
Jan in het kort
> I have close to 7 years of experience designing and engineering Machine Learning architectures for commercial- and industrial businesses and academic institutions.
> I'm in possession of a Master of Science degree in Artifical Intelligence (Cum Laude) from the University of Amsterdam, the highest ranked and most prestigious technical Machine Learning program in the Netherlands (top 5 of Europe).
> Some projects I did:
- Lead a small ML team for a dutch speech-to-intent system for an embedded service ordering system. Developed modules on top existing state-of-the-art speech recognition models for domain specialisation, outperforming Google/Microsoft STT APIs. Built the cloud architecture for hosting our own STT API.
- Research in applications of implicit neural representations in generative networks for audio synthesis, together with drs. Marco Federici and dr. Erik Bekkers.
Paper: Towards Lightweight Controllable Audio Synthesis with Conditional Implicit Neural Representations
- Designed and engineered Machine Learning architectures and applications for creativity enhancement in sound and vision domains for commercial customers.
Example project Paper: Style-Content Disentanglement in Language-Image Pretraining Representations for Zero-Shot Sketch-to-Image Synthesis

Opleidingen
- Minor, Electrical and Electronic Engineering & MLThe University of Hong Kong2018Grade: 7.5 Program focused on introducing students to the concepts of electrical and electronic engineering, machine learning and the area where both intersect. Including topics as digital signal processing, embedded system engineering and applied machine learning.
- Bachelor of ScienceUniversity of Amsterdam2017Grade: 7.5 Strongly interdisciplinary degree. In the first year students get acquainted with several disciplines including math, physics, statistics, psychology, philosophy. In the second and third year students follow a curated program at another bachelor, combined with projects focused on interdisciplinary work with students doing different programs. I decided to follow the track brain and cognitive sciences. Thesis: Regularity and predictability in rhythms: Effects on temporal prediction
