About

I build TikTok Shop growth engines for brands entering the next era of commerce, where social attention turns into real sales. By connecting brands with top creators and building scalable creator communities, I help turn content into a performance channel instead of just marketing output. Always open to a conversation or questions about TikTok Shop.

Research internship at Soundwatch Capital, under the guidance of partner Jan Ebel Bos. Conducted analysis on Bloomberg S&P 500 data, independently programmed investment strategies, and stress-tested them. Responsibilities spanned quantitative modelling and fundamental analysis. Work from this internship contributed to my master's thesis – Crash Protection with S&P 500 Option Overlays: A Risk-Based Evaluation of Protective Put and Collar Strategies.

As a working student in my first office role, I assisted with the firm's quantitative models and valuation tools, getting hands-on exposure to how they were built and maintained. Alongside the technical side, I grew a lot professionally in terms of teamwork and communication. The role complemented my econometrics degree and a minor in Dutch tax law nicely.
