Hi there!

I'm

A curious Dutchie driving his brain and legs to go against the path of least resistance.

About Me

Hello! I'M Caesar.

I'm a Computer Science graduate at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam whose currently working towards a postgrad in AI and Data Science at the University of Sydney! I like to have a wide variety of interests but who has tried to restrict these interests to just our world.

A firm believer of the homo universalis principle has driven my curiosity from (mountain) climbing to history and quantum computing. I am always on the lookout for unusual unkown unkowns.

Witty creativity, subtle humor and thought-provoking ideas are what I admire and aim to improve every single day. Although that humor part can sometimes be darn hard.

My Interests and Passions

Self explanatory. Though they may change in an instant when a fresh niche world is stumbled upon, laying just outside my current horizon of fascinations.

Mountains

Winter or summer, hiking or biking . For me the mountains are always calling and one of my greatest pleasures is exploring them.

Current obsession: climbing them!

Rhetoric

The art of pursuasion and language is something that I only after a recent course started to fully appreciate. Whether in Dutch or English, wealthy words with wonderful wisdom will woo many a man.

Technology

Pervasive and powerful. Useful and unnecessary. While everywhere, not always to the betterment to (wo)man.

Current obsession: Machine Learning and

Global citizen & volunteer work

I love globetrotting and have lived and worked in various places on this space-floating blue marble. It is truly addictive and upon every return I long for the next comfort-zone breaking adventure. Below you can see some shots of the places I've been to!

Education

Insert lifelong learning cliché

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is a new area for me that my curiosity has stumbled upon and which I'm actively trying to appease.

Currently reading: Quantum Computing: An Applied Approach

Current and Past Projects

I like to keep busy with various projects and ideas on a continuous rolling basis. Below you can scroll through some of my recent ones!

DBugIT

The past year I've been lucky enough to work in a team on a Software Testing startup, a spinoff project from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. We recently and successfully participated in the ACE incubation program!

~Here at DBugIT we are developing an online tool to help higher education and businesses train and asses effective software testing strategies with running bug examples which is a major improvement from current pen and paper practices.~

WupsE

WupsE is a proposal for a self-driving "bakfiets" for last mile delivery on bicycle lanes in the Netherlands. With development happening using an Open Startup concept.

Ironman 70.3 Nice

I trained for, and participated in the 70.3 Nice Ironman in the Summer of 22'. A gruelling but ultimately, incredibly rewarding experience.
