I make better questions cheaper to ask.
I turn hard-to-operate data — images, signals, numbers, loose text, legacy systems — into tools people can actually explore. Whoever’s starting out reaches what they couldn’t before; the expert sees what always took too long to find.

Report-first
“Which report do you want?”
Only returns variations of what already exists.
Decision-first
“What do you need to decide but can’t see?”
Opens questions nobody had a way to ask before.
01 The idea behind the work
When trying gets cheap, people try the impossible.
At TU Delft, every edit to an image or video cost hours of manual work — and when trying costs hours, nobody tries twenty times. So I turned those experiments into simple, real-time controls on ordinary hardware.
Data is the same: the information rarely arrives in a table and days of analysis is too expensive - some questions are never asked. Sometimes seeing which question is stuck is the whole fix, no tool needed. When one is, I build it.
The tool decides what gets perceived.
Change the tool and the same data says something else.
02 Different formats of the same problem
Sound, image, games,
databases, LLMs.
Chasing data that doesn’t fit in a table took me through every format it hides in. Different domains, one instinct: make the invisible perceptible, and the expensive cheap.

If your team stops at the easy questions because the good ones cost too much, we probably have something to talk about.
