Ever since I was a young boy, I have always had a passion for technology. At the age of eight, I decided I wanted to become an engineer. Now, 15 years later, technology remains my passion. My technical journey began in Eindhoven at Summa College, and I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree at Inholland University of applied science.

My next challenge lies with the TU Delft Hydro Motion Team, where I will have the opportunity to demonstrate my potential by helping build a hydrogen-powered boat. This year, I will be leading the Vehicle Dynamics department. Together with my colleagues, we will be responsible for all the moving parts of the boat, from propulsion and steering to the foiling mechanism that enables the boat to fly above the waves.

My goal is to ensure that everyone on the team, including myself, achieves the best possible results as we aim to win the Monaco Sea Lab Challenge.
