User Interaction Dr. Martens E-commerce Platform

Title: Dr. Martens E-commerce Platform Description:

How can a new e-commerce platform for Dr. Martens be developed around user needs (accessibility, easy navigation, easy checkout experience) while aligning designers (clean, modern, typography-heavy designs), developers (focus on usability, functionality and integrity), and clients (ease of use, their vision and ideas), delivering a modern, accessible, and consistent user experience to the users of Dr. Martens’ website within a fast-paced deadline?

The underlying need for this project is the client’s desire to upgrade their e-commerce platform in order to keep up with industry trends while also boosting sales. A large part of their brand is trending across various social media platforms, so they want to better appeal to this audience and more concretely integrate their branding, history, and image into the website.

Based on the client’s input, our design team creates wireframes and high-fidelity designs. My work takes place in the development team, where I implement front-end components based on these designs and connect them to data coming from the backend and the CMS. The development progresses through multiple sprints with demos, gradually building a functional website that follows the designs and brand guidelines.

User Interaction Maintaining Dolf

Title: Maintaining Dolf Description:

De Ontdekfabriek is a company that focusses on giving children a chance to be adventurous with creativity and technology. One of their projects is the "Dolf" project. It's a game in which 1-3 children work together to control a giant mechanical dolphin to swim through the ocean, help save inventions and place trackers on nets. This project is based on the film "Het verborgen oog", a short film about environmental challenges for dolphins.

The biggest problem for De Ontdekfabriek is that the sensors that connect Dolf to the game, break often or need replacing, but De Ontdekfabriek lacks the technical skills to keep up the maintenance of Dolf. My project focused on creating a solution that fixes the problem of the lack of technical skills and is maintainable for them in the future.

I did this by creating a system that enables employees to change the game actions, connect game actions to different sensors and check the activity of the sensors themselves. This ensures that every time a sensor breaks, employees can check which sensor needs to be replaced and they can connect the new sensor to a game action.

All of this results in a game that children get to keep enjoying, while De Ontdekfabriek can maintain it behind the scenes quickly and efficiently.

Software API v2.0 herontwerp en migratie: veilige, onderhoudbare en testbare MMCore API met webhooks en sandbox

Title: API v2.0 herontwerp en migratie: veilige, onderhoudbare en testbare MMCore API met webhooks en sandbox Description:

Mijn afstudeerproject richt zich op het herontwerp en de migratie van de MMCore API naar een nieuwe API v2. MMCore wordt gebruikt voor logistieke processen zoals zendingen aanmaken, labels genereren, trackinginformatie verwerken en integraties met klanten en externe partners ondersteunen.

De bestaande API v1 bevat beperkingen op het gebied van onderhoudbaarheid, consistentie, beveiliging en testbaarheid. Daarom onderzoek en ontwikkel ik een nieuwe API-basis die veiliger, duidelijker en beter uitbreidbaar is. Binnen het project werk ik aan requirements, use cases, API-ontwerp, endpointstructuur, authenticatie, validatie, foutafhandeling, teststrategie en migratieaanpak.

De pilot richt zich onder andere op shipment-, label- en trackingfunctionaliteit. Daarnaast wordt gekeken naar sandboxgebruik, webhooks en governance, zodat toekomstige integraties betrouwbaarder kunnen worden ontwikkeld en getest. Het resultaat is een onderbouwde API v2 foundation die naast de bestaande API kan draaien en als basis dient voor verdere migratie en uitbreiding binnen MMCore.

User Interaction User-Centred Product Design at Otrium

Title: User-Centred Product Design at Otrium Description:

During my graduation internship at Otrium, I worked on improving digital experiences by combining UX research, behavioural insights, and product design. My project focused on two areas: encouraging customers to return through a new Store Credit experience, and improving homepage usability to support product discovery and engagement.

Through methods such as user testing, competitor analysis, behavioural data analysis, A/B testing, and collaboration with product, engineering, and marketing teams, I explored how design decisions can influence customer behaviour and business outcomes.

The project demonstrates how user-centred design can go beyond creating visually appealing interfaces by translating research findings into practical solutions that improve customer understanding, usability, and conversion. During my presentation, I will share the research process, design decisions, experiments, and how data and user insights were used to shape real product experiences within a large e-commerce environment.

Organisational Processes IT-Leverancier Scan: Ontwikkeling van een gestandaardiseerde methodiek voor het objectief beoordelen van IT-dienstverleners

Title: IT-Leverancier Scan: Ontwikkeling van een gestandaardiseerde methodiek voor het objectief beoordelen van IT-dienstverleners Description:

Organisaties zijn steeds afhankelijker van externe IT-dienstverleners, maar beschikken vaak niet over een gestructureerde manier om de kwaliteit van deze leveranciers objectief te beoordelen. In de praktijk wordt veelal vertrouwd op generieke SLA-rapportages (zoals uptimepercentages) en subjectieve ervaringen, wat leidt tot een onvolledig en soms misleidend beeld van de werkelijke dienstverlening.

Dit afstudeeronderzoek richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een gestandaardiseerde beoordelingsmethodiek voor BDO, waarmee klanten snel en betrouwbaar inzicht krijgen in de
prestaties van hun IT-dienstverleners. De kern van de oplossing is een geïntegreerd model dat objectieve KPI’s (zoals uptime en MTTR), businessimpact (zoals kritieke downtime) en gebruikerservaring combineert in één beoordelingskader.

Daarnaast wordt rekening gehouden met de kritikaliteit van IT-diensten door leveranciers te classificeren in primaire, secundaire en tertiaire processen. Op basis hiervan worden KPI’s en gewichten aangepast, zodat de beoordeling aansluit op de daadwerkelijke impact op de organisatie.

De methode wordt ondersteund door een self-assessment tool voor dataverzameling en een dashboardprototype waarin resultaten visueel worden gepresenteerd. Hierdoor ontstaat een concreet en actiegericht inzicht dat organisaties helpt bij het verbeteren, heronderhandelen of vervangen van IT-dienstverleners.

Het eindresultaat is een praktische en commercieel toepasbare methodiek die bijdraagt aan betere besluitvorming en hogere kwaliteit van IT-dienstverlening.

Software Amac Service Queue

Title: Amac Service Queue Description:

Amac B.V. is een Apple Premium Reseller (APR) en Apple Authorized Service Provider (ASP) met 46 winkels in Nederland en is daarmee de grootste APR van Europa. Binnen de winkels worden zowel Apple-producten verkocht als technische service en reparaties uitgevoerd. In het filiaal van Amac op de Rotterdam Lijnbaan blijkt het serviceproces voor technische ondersteuning inefficiënt en foutgevoelig te zijn, wat leidt tot onduidelijkheid voor klanten en frustratie bij medewerkers.

Het doel van dit afstudeerproject is het analyseren van het huidige proces en het ontwerpen en realiseren van een IT-oplossing die dit proces verbetert. De oplossing moet bijdragen aan een duidelijker en efficiënter proces voor zowel klanten als medewerkers, en tegelijkertijd waardevolle data opleveren voor operationele en strategische besluitvorming.

Het project wordt uitgevoerd binnen het filiaal Rotterdam Lijnbaan, in samenwerking met winkelmedewerkers, management en de centrale IT-afdeling van Amac, met als uitgangspunt een oplossing die in de toekomst schaalbaar is naar andere filialen.

Infrastructure Herontwerp van dataopslag, toegangsbeheer en archivering voor vijf divisies bij Den Ouden

Title: Herontwerp van dataopslag, toegangsbeheer en archivering voor vijf divisies bij Den Ouden Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Den Ouden Groep heb ik onderzoek gedaan naar hoe de organisatie beter kan omgaan met het opslaan en beheren van bestanden. Den Ouden bestaat uit vijf divisies die elk op een eigen manier werken, zonder centrale afspraken over waar bestanden worden opgeslagen of wie er toegang toe heeft. Medewerkers sloegen bestanden op waar het uitkwam: op lokale schijven, in persoonlijke mappen of verspreid over verschillende omgevingen. Dit zorgde voor een onoverzichtelijke situatie waarbij niemand meer precies wist waar iets stond, de beveiliging niet op orde was en afgeronde projecten onbeperkt ruimte bleven innemen.

Ik heb onderzocht waar het precies misging en wat er nodig is om dit structureel op te lossen. Daarvoor heb ik gesprekken gevoerd met medewerkers en beheerders, bestaande documenten en systemen geanalyseerd en gekeken naar wat andere organisaties in vergelijkbare situaties doen. Op basis van al die inzichten heb ik een nieuw ontwerp gemaakt dat alle vijf divisies samenbrengt in één centrale en veilige omgeving, met duidelijke afspraken over hoe bestanden worden opgeslagen, wie er toegang toe heeft en wat er gebeurt met bestanden als een project is afgerond.

Om te bewijzen dat het ontwerp ook echt werkt heb ik het volledig opgebouwd en getest in een proefomgeving. Alle onderdelen zijn stap voor stap gevalideerd en daarna ook als geheel doorgelopen in een realistisch testscenario. Het eindresultaat is een concreet advies en een werkende blauwdruk die Den Ouden Groep direct kan gebruiken voor de volledige uitrol binnen de organisatie.

Software Human Error Prevention – Real-Time Decision Support in Kiteworks Web UI

Title: Human Error Prevention – Real-Time Decision Support in Kiteworks Web UI Description:

Every day someone sends an email to the wrong person. A wrong attachment, a "To" recipient that should have been BCC, a message sent too fast. For most people it is just embarrassing. For organizations handling sensitive data, it can be a GDPR breach.

Kiteworks builds tools to stop that from happening. During my graduation internship, I worked on bringing Human Error Prevention (HEP) into the email compose experience, turning a backend validation API into something users see and interact with before they hit send.

The project expanded beyond the original scope. I redesigned the security toolbar in the compose window to make room for real-time warnings without cluttering the interface. I built an admin panel so administrators can configure the policies themselves. I researched when and how often to the validation API should be triggered and helped refactor the component architecture so the feature wouldn't become a maintenance problem in the future.

Each step required understanding the product, the users and a large existing codebase. Then making decisions that would hold up under code reviews from engineers who know the system better than I did.

All features were released to the public before the internship ended.

Software AI Agile Coach: datagedreven coaching voor software engineering teams

Title: AI Agile Coach: datagedreven coaching voor software engineering teams Description:

CBYTE Digital is een software agency gespecialiseerd in maatwerk softwareontwikkeling. De development teams binnen CBYTE werken Agile volgens Scrum of Kanban. Toch is onder medewerkers niet altijd duidelijk hoe Agile in een project aangepakt zou moeten worden, en er bestaat behoefte aan coaching op teamniveau. Tegelijk produceren teams veel in- en output in tools als Jira en Bitbucket. Hieruit ontstond de vraag of een AI-assistent als Agile Coach zelfsturende teams hierin kan ondersteunen op basis van die data.

Het doel is om tijdens de afstudeerstage een Proof-of-Concept van een AI-assistent te ontwikkelen die werkpatronen herkent op basis van projectdata en de in- en output van een team, en die proactief advies geeft om de Agile werkwijze te verbeteren. Daarvoor is eerst onderzocht wat een Agile coach in de praktijk doet, welke data en context nodig zijn om betekenisvol te coachen, en hoe dit technisch te realiseren is.

Het resultaat is een werkende AI Agile Coach. Via een configuratie frontend kan een gebruiker een eigen Coach opzetten en verbinden met bronnen zoals Jira, Bitbucket en Confluence. De achterliggende backend ondersteunt multi-tenancy, zodat meerdere teams hun eigen coach kunnen gebruiken. De AI-assistent gebruikt de data, gecombineerd met vakinhoudelijke Agile kennis, om proactief interventies te doen via Microsoft Teams, waar teamleden ook zelf met de coach kunnen interacteren.

Het Proof-of-Concept is gedeployed in een AWS-omgeving via Infrastructure as Code en daardoor binnen CBYTE direct testbaar. De multi-tenant opzet is gevalideerd met een tweede gebruiker en er is gedurende het project meermaals gespard met een externe Agile coach. Het project laat zien dat AI menselijke Agile coaches niet vervangt, maar zelfsturende teams wel laagdrempelig kan ondersteunen in hun Agile werkwijze.

Software Controlled and Auditable Database Operations Platform

Title: Controlled and Auditable Database Operations Platform Description:

Database operations within multi-customer software environments often rely on manual execution of scripts across separate Acceptance and Production databases. This introduces risks such as accidental execution in the wrong environment, inconsistent database structures between customers, limited traceability of changes, and heavy dependence on developer experience and procedural discipline.

This graduation project focuses on the design and implementation of a controlled and auditable platform for database operations in a multi-environment context. The developed platform introduces structural safeguards that support secure environment selection, controlled SQL execution, centralized audit logging, and mandatory justification for database modifications. In addition, the system provides insight into database structures by allowing secure inspection of metadata such as tables, stored procedures, functions, and relationships, while also supporting controlled comparison between environments.

Developed using C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, SQL Server, and Azure DevOps, the platform aims to improve governance, traceability, and operational safety without limiting the flexibility required by technical users. By embedding validation and control mechanisms directly into the architecture, database operations become more transparent, reliable, and less vulnerable to human error.

Software Oribi AssetID - Asset Management with Identity, Compliance & Access

Title: Oribi AssetID - Asset Management with Identity, Compliance & Access Description:

During my graduation internship at Oribi B.V., I designed and developed AssetID: a modern asset management application that replaces the company's existing key management system. The previous system, Sleutelbeheer, was tied to a legacy platform being phased out, and its scope was limited to physical keys. AssetID takes a much broader approach.

With AssetID, compliance officers and service engineers can issue, track, and revoke both physical and digital assets, think service pistols, forklifts, or portable x-ray machines, while also verifying that the person receiving the asset is actually authorized and qualified to use it. This brings together Oribi's three core domains: Identity, Compliance, and Access, into one integrated system.

As part of the project, I researched how enterprise-level asset management can support this combined approach, and built proof-of-concept applications to validate the architecture. The end result is a future-proof solution that fits seamlessly into the Oribi Suite, accompanied by a clear advisory report for the company on how to take it forward.

Concluding: AssetID moves Oribi from a narrow key management tool to a complete, modern asset management platform, where not just the asset is tracked, but also the person, their qualifications, and their authorization.

Software Research & Development of Scalable Robotics Learning

Title: Research & Development of Scalable Robotics Learning Description:

This project researches how modern robot-learning workflows can make robotic manipulation more data-efficient, reliable, and scalable. The work is positioned between robotics engineering and applied AI research: building practical infrastructure while evaluating what is needed to train useful robot policies on real hardware.

The project combines several connected parts of a modern robot-learning workflow. Real demonstrations are collected through teleoperation on a physical SO-101 robot arm. These demonstrations are curated and used to fine-tune vision-language-action models, mainly through imitation learning. In parallel, simulation infrastructure is developed using 3D reconstruction and physics-engine composition, so real-world task environments can later support safer evaluation, more variation, and future simulation-generated training data.

A key part of the project is not only making the robot perform the current lab task, but understanding why it works and what limits it. After establishing a reliable baseline on the physical robot, the research continues with data-efficiency experiments, training-duration comparisons, failure analysis, and harder validation settings. The broader goal is to explore how real-world data, simulation, and modern VLA models can be combined into a scalable training approach for future robot-learning applications in domains such as agriculture and manufacturing.

User Interaction Redesigning the B2B Ordering Experience at Royal Swinkels

Title: Redesigning the B2B Ordering Experience at Royal Swinkels Description:

During my graduation internship at Royal Swinkels, I redesigned the ordering flow of the company’s B2B e-commerce platform used by business customers to place and manage beverage orders. The platform is widely used by hospitality entrepreneurs to search for products, manage favourite items, and complete orders, but the current ordering experience contains several usability and navigation issues. This makes common tasks slower and more difficult for users who regularly use the platform as part of their daily work.

The redesign focuses on creating an ordering experience that better supports the way customers work by making the process faster, simpler, and easier to navigate. The goal of this project is improvment of product search, optimisation of products lists, simplication of navigation, and helping users quickly access frequently ordered products. The project is based on user research, usability testing, interviews, and concept validation to ensure the redesigned flow aligns with both user needs and business goals.

By redesigning the ordering flow, the platform supports a more intuitive and user-friendly ordering experience that helps business customers place their orders more efficiently.

Hardware Interfacing Embedded Communication Architecture and Validation for an Inkjet-Based Dental Aligner Machine

Title: Embedded Communication Architecture and Validation for an Inkjet-Based Dental Aligner Machine Description:

Desyo is a Dutch startup building a machine that produces dental clear aligners on-site using industrial inkjet printing. The machine has two main embedded components: the PHI (Printhead Interface), an embedded board that directly drives the printheads, and the DSC (data streamer and configurator), software that sends print data and commands to the PHI. When this internship started, no communication layer existed between the two, they were being developed in isolation with no shared protocol. This project researched how to design, implement, and verify that communication layer. Beyond the DSC–PHI interface, the work also covered CAN bus communication between the PHI and the machine's PLC for encoder and sync signals, data plane implementation for transferring print images over Ethernet, and setting up a CI/CD pipeline to enable automated building and deployment of the embedded firmware. The main research question was:

How can the architecture of the DSC–PHI communication layer be designed to enable verification of functional behavior while operating within the constraints of Desyo's embedded environment?

Software ZorgVrij, a Integrated Healthcare Administration Platform: Backend Development & Full-Stack Realization

Title: ZorgVrij, a Integrated Healthcare Administration Platform: Backend Development & Full-Stack Realization Description:

ZorgVrij is a mobile-first administration platform for self-employed healthcare professionals in the Netherlands. These professionals often manage onboarding, documents, hours, invoices, registrations and compliance tasks across separate tools, portals and spreadsheets. This fragmentation creates extra administrative work, increases the risk of errors and makes it harder to maintain overview of important documents and deadlines.

This graduation project focuses on the full-stack realization of a working MVP based on previously validated UX designs. The platform brings key workflows together in one secure environment, including guided onboarding, document management with expiry reminders, hours registration and an hours-to-invoice flow. The goal is to reduce administrative burden, improve overview and support compliance-related tasks for healthcare freelancers.

My main focus is the backend architecture and implementation behind the application. I translated functional and non-functional requirements into a layered software architecture with a mobile-first frontend, REST API, business logic layer and relational database. Security, privacy, maintainability and scalability are important design principles because the application handles sensitive personal, financial and professional data.

During the graduation session, I will present the ZorgVrij MVP, explain the most important architectural and technical decisions, and show how research insights from healthcare freelancers were translated into working software.

Infrastructure Designing a Detection and Incident Response Approach for Containerized Environments

Title: Designing a Detection and Incident Response Approach for Containerized Environments Description:

Given the growing use of container and cloud-native environments by organizations, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) have traditionally focused upon providing monitoring for endpoints. Container environments, however, pose challenges to SOC defenses due to the different way in which containers must be secured compared to conventional monitoring strategies.
At Philips, there is no established first approach to monitoring container environments for security threats and responding to those threats. Philips is expanding their organization into cloud and container native systems, but the SOC at Philips has not yet established any strategy for detecting threats within container-native environments or responding to those detected threats.
The general approach to be taken within the Philips SOC will begin with performing a threat analysis of the types of attacks that may occur within container environments, utilizing frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for Containers and NIST SP 800-190. The outcomes of this threat analysis will lead to the decision of whether the out-of-the-box monitoring tools that are currently used by the SOC are enough to defend against the threats that were analyzed, or if additional efforts must be undertaken to monitor container environments for threats.
A proof of concept environment will be established and built within the SOC to test the various attack scenarios that were analyzed during the threat analysis. Following the construction of this proof of concept environment, recommendations will be made to enhance threat detection.
The outcome of this project will provide the Philips SOC with an approach that can be utilized as their first approach to monitoring container native environments for threats , an approach that is both justified and realistic regarding implementation.

Software Scaly Sanctuary: Does Interactivity Make You Learn Better?

Title: Scaly Sanctuary: Does Interactivity Make You Learn Better? Description:

For my Master's graduation project at Fontys, I co-developed Scaly Sanctuary, an educational serious game about leopard gecko caretaking, and used it to investigate whether interactivity in game-based learning produces measurable differences in knowledge gain. Across 73 participants, three conditions were compared: a static PDF, a low-interactivity game, and a branching dialogue game. Results suggest that interactivity matters less than how actively learners engage with it. Participants who explored more of the dialogue learned significantly more.

User Interaction Designing a consumer-based digital experience of the Qwiek.embrace home product.

Title: Designing a consumer-based digital experience of the Qwiek.embrace home product. Description:

During my graduation internship at Qwiek, I worked on exploring a potential consumer version of the Qwiek Embrace. Qwiek develops innovative sensory-supportive interventions for healthcare environments, where the current Qwiek Embrace is used to help people relax and regulate sensory stimuli through sound and vibration. the company is now exploring how this experience could be translated into a product suitable for children at home and at school.

The project focused on researching how children between the ages of 6 and 12 can independently regulate overstimulation and improve relaxation moments without relying on constant support from parents or teachers. Existing calming solutions often depend on tablets, are difficult to use independently, or do not sufficiently address the sensory and emotional needs of children.

Throughout the project, I conducted literature research and interviews with parents, teachers, therapists, and healthcare professionals. These insights revealed the importance of emotional safety, autonomy, simplicity, and sensory comfort within calming interventions for children.

Based on these findings, I designed a calming experience that allows children to independently regulate overstimulation through a hypothetical minimalistic concept for the Embrace cushion itself. In addition, I designed an extended version of the existing Qwiek mobile application for parents and caregivers, focused on onboarding, personalization, and product management.

User Interaction Wayfinding and Hospitality in Care Homes

Title: Wayfinding and Hospitality in Care Homes Description:

Care homes are places where people come during vulnerable and often emotional moments. Visitors arriving for the first time, family members returning regularly, and residents navigating their own living environment all depend on a clear and welcoming arrival experience. Yet in many care home settings, reception areas are frequently unstaffed, leaving people without guidance at the very moment they need it most.
The core question is not simply how people find their way through a building, but how the environment itself can make someone feel expected, welcomed, and oriented from the moment they walk through the door.

What makes this challenge complex is the tension between two competing needs. Care organisations place a high value on personal, human hospitality. At the same time, staff are not always present at the front desk, and solutions cannot depend on someone being there to greet visitors. Any design response must bridge that gap without feeling cold or clinical.

The project is based on research conducted across multiple locations, including observations, interviews, and site visits, to understand how different spatial layouts, signage systems, and organisational cultures shape the arrival experience. These insights inform the development of a prototype that aims to be adaptable across settings, rather than a fixed solution designed for one location.

Infrastructure How can MedApp effectively comply with the NIS2 directive while ensuring secure and reliable data exchange within its healthcare systems and supply chain?

Title: How can MedApp effectively comply with the NIS2 directive while ensuring secure and reliable data exchange within its healthcare systems and supply chain? Description:

Because of the increase in cyberattacks within Europe, the European Union introduced the NIS2 directive to strengthen the cyber resilience of its member states. The directive focuses on improving how organizations manage cybersecurity risks, respond to incidents, secure their supply chain and ensure business continuity. In the modern digital world, where organizations increasingly depend on technology, suppliers and online services, cybersecurity has become an essential part of daily operations.

This graduation project researches how the NIS2 directive applies to MedApp and what steps are needed to move further towards compliance. MedApp operates in a sector where availability, reliability and security are important, making a structured cybersecurity approach highly relevant.

The project includes an analysis of the NIS2 requirements, MedApp’s existing documentation, internal procedures, technical environment and risk management process. Based on this research, a gap analysis was created to identify which parts of MedApp’s current approach already support NIS2 compliance and where improvements are still needed.

The outcome of the project is a set of practical findings and recommendations that help MedApp improve its information security management system. These recommendations focus on areas such as risk assessments, documentation, supplier security and the connection between risks, controls and responsibilities.

The goal of this project is to translate the broad NIS2 directive into practical and understandable advice that supports MedApp in its road towards compliance.

User Interaction Agentic-driven system for context-aware support during dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound assessments

Title: Agentic-driven system for context-aware support during dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound assessments Description:

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly been explored to support healthcare professionals and improve clinical workflows. Yet, despite the need for such solutions, applications within software systems for dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound (DMUS) image assessment remain largely unexplored.

This study investigated whether applying an agentic-driven, context-aware AI could alleviate the operational and cognitive bottlenecks encountered during DMUS imaging assessments. For this purpose, an AI-infused chat feature was designed, implemented, and validated within a DMUS post-acquisition review environment to test its usefulness and impact in quickly retrieving recorded medical information within the platform.

Empirical evaluation was performed involving a purposive cohort of twelve medical practitioners and technical specialists. Results demonstrated unanimous agreement regarding the prototype’s overall usefulness, its perceived need within clinical practice, and its exceptionally low learning curve. Quantitative findings further indicated that the proposed approach substantially improved the user's physical and cognitive navigational workflow, enabling the ultrasound related professionals to be just a single step away from any information recorded in their platform.

Ultimately, this research provides an empirical, validated and potentially scalable framework for developing an AI-infused feature within a software system for DMUS image assessment. Real-world release of such a tool will need further investigation, a pragmatic approach, responsible development, and compliance with the necessary applicable regulations.

Infrastructure Optimalisatie van de IT-infrastructuur door containerisering

Title: Optimalisatie van de IT-infrastructuur door containerisering Description:

Op dit moment maakt het bedrijf nog geen gebruik van een containeromgeving; vrijwel alle applicaties draaien op losse virtuele machines, grotendeels in de cloud. Op verzoek van de organisatie is er onderzoek verricht naar verschillende cluster orchestrators, die vervolgens met elkaar zijn vergeleken.

Op basis van de specifieke eisen en wensen is hieruit de meest geschikte orchestrator naar voren gekomen. Vervolgens is onderzocht in welke omgeving een Proof of Concept (PoC) kon worden opgezet om de werking hiervan te toetsen. Naast een analyse van de verschillen met de huidige situatie, zijn de voor- en nadelen op het gebied van schaalbaarheid, beheer en kosten in kaart gebracht. Tot slot is er een roadmap ontwikkeld die de fasering beschrijft, mocht het bedrijf de implementatie in de toekomst willen doorzetten.

Software Composable Commerce

Title: Composable Commerce Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij iO onderzoek ik hoe een commerce engine kan worden geïntegreerd binnen een composable commerce architectuur. Binnen veel e-commerceprojecten wordt nog gebruikgemaakt van monolithische platformen. Deze platformen bieden veel functionaliteit in een systeem, maar zijn vaak minder flexibel wanneer onderdelen vervangen, uitgebreid of apart opgeschaald moeten worden.

Het doel van mijn project is om te onderzoeken hoe een commerce engine op een kan worden ingezet binnen een moderne e-commerce omgeving. Hiervoor heb ik onderzocht wat composable commerce inhoudt, welke functionele en technische eisen belangrijk zijn voor moderne webshops en welke criteria gebruikt kunnen worden om verschillende commerce engines te beoordelen. Op basis van dit onderzoek zijn meerdere commerce engines met elkaar vergeleken. Uit deze vergelijking is commercetools als meest geschikte oplossing naar voren gekomen voor de proof of concept.

In de proof of concept laat ik zien hoe commercetools kan worden geïntegreerd in een composable omgeving. De focus ligt op het ophalen en tonen van productdata, het structureren van de technische integratie en het maken van architectuurkeuzes die passen bij een modulaire e-commerce oplossing.

Met dit project worden keuzes gemaakt die belangrijk zijn bij het opzetten van een composable commerce architectuur en hoe een commerce engine hierin kan worden toegepast.

Software Desktop Electron to Web Application Migration

Title: Desktop Electron to Web Application Migration Description:

QUGATE is a small startup whose main product is a desktop application that helps engineers make better design decisions with far fewer simulations and physical experiments. Instead of running thousands of tests, engineers can use QUGATE to explore how their designs behave across a wide range of conditions, find trade-offs, and predict outcomes - turning weeks of work into minutes. My task is to migrate this desktop product to a web application that will serve as a prospective user's first touch with QUGATE: a guided, lower-friction showcase that demonstrates the core value of the platform without needing an installer or a license. The web app runs the same underlying engine as the desktop version, so the results users see online match exactly what they'd get from the full product - it's really just a friendlier, more accessible front door. Because the web app is public-facing and meant to be tried by anyone interested, an admin area was added to the web for the QUGATE team. From there they can set sensible usage limits, give specific users more (or unlimited) access, cap how much work a single request can ask for, and clean up old projects and jobs automatically. The goal is a polished, low-commitment demo of QUGATE's software that's safe to open to the world while still being powerful enough to convince serious users to move on to the full desktop product.

Software RMA Workflow Automation for Service Department

Title: RMA Workflow Automation for Service Department Description:

How can service operations become faster, more reliable, and less dependent on manual work?

This project looks at improving the return and repair process in an industrial service department. The current workflow already uses a mix of SAP, SharePoint, email, and Excel, but a lot of steps were still done manually. Data was also spread across different tools, which made the process less consistent and harder to track.

To improve this, I implemented several automation and integration changes. Using Microsoft Power Platform together with SAP GUI automation, I automated repetitive tasks and made data transfer between systems smoother. The SharePoint forms were also improved so the data is more structured and easier to work with. On top of that, email attachments are now automatically linked to the correct RMA records, which reduces the need for manual handling.

I also added automated reporting and created a tool to generate standard inspection reports. This makes it easier to get an overview of the data and how the service process is performing.

Overall, the workflow is now more efficient and reliable, with less manual work and fewer errors, while still working within the existing system setup. The project shows how practical automation and low-code tools can improve real industrial processes without needing to completely replace existing systems.

Software Web Application optimizing Pricing Strategy with Machine Learning

Title: Web Application optimizing Pricing Strategy with Machine Learning Description:

A React web application which brings supervised learning to competitor price analysis. Historical prices are combined with macroeconomic variables of high correlation to the target: building production, GDP, raw-material indices, inflation, and interest rates, to predict a competitor's price one month ahead. XGBoost, Random Forest and an Ensemble are benchmarked side by side, with MAPE, MAE and R² exposed to the user. The interface pairs predictions with a full competitor dashboard: long-range price history, a correlation explorer between supplier prices and macro signals, and a strategic-premium view which shows whether each competitor charges above or below model-fair value. This project replaces manual spreadsheet work with a single decision-support surface.

Software Azurion Training Companion

Title: Azurion Training Companion Description:

Within the Image Guided Therapy Systems business of Philips, Azurion is an interventional X-ray system used worldwide for minimally invasive procedures. Due to the wide range of functionalities and workflows available within the system, employees working with Azurion require dedicated training to understand how it operates in practice. However, current Azurion training relies heavily on instructor-led sessions and access to physical systems, limiting opportunities for flexible and independent practice.

Philips is also developing Virtual Azurion, a digital twin of the Azurion system that simulates the software interface and workflow behavior of the real system. It allows users to interact with the system without requiring physical Azurion hardware. However, Virtual Azurion itself does not provide guidance, feedback, or validation of user actions.

This project focused on developing a web-based training companion tool that works alongside Virtual Azurion to support internal employee training. The training companion provides workflow-based exercises through a separate web interface while monitoring user interactions performed in Virtual Azurion, validating whether exercises are completed correctly, and providing guidance and feedback during practice.

The aim of the project is to support more independent workflow practice and reduce reliance on physical systems and instructor-led training. By combining simulated system interaction with automated guidance and feedback, the training companion helps create a more accessible, flexible, and structured learning experience for users learning Azurion workflows.

Infrastructure End-to-end containerplatform voor overheidsorganisaties

Title: End-to-end containerplatform voor overheidsorganisaties Description:

Overheidsorganisaties maken steeds vaker gebruik van containerisatie om applicaties sneller, veiliger en schaalbaarder te ontwikkelen en te beheren. Tegelijkertijd is de keuze voor een passend enterprise containerplatform niet eenvoudig. Platformen verschillen sterk in beheerbaarheid, beveiliging, integratiemogelijkheden en technische complexiteit.

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Axians Capelle, Business Unit Government, onderzoek ik welk end-to-end containerplatform het meest geschikt is om zelfstandig aan te bieden aan lokale, provinciale en landelijke overheidsorganisaties. Het doel van het project is om duidelijkheid te creëren in een complex platformlandschap en Axians te ondersteunen bij het maken van een onderbouwde platformkeuze.

Binnen het onderzoek breng ik in kaart wat een end-to-end containerplatform inhoudt, welke enterprise platformen relevant zijn en welke eisen belangrijk zijn binnen de publieke sector. De platformen worden vergeleken op onderwerpen zoals high availability, role-based access control, networking en ingress, portability, lifecycle management, monitoring, logging en CI/CD-ondersteuning.

Het resultaat is een adviesrapport waarin de meest passende platformoplossing wordt onderbouwd. Daarmee vormt het project een concrete basis voor een mogelijke containerplatformdienst waarmee Axians Government overheidsorganisaties kan ondersteunen bij moderne applicatieontwikkeling en platformbeheer.

Software Incident Respons Integratie Systeem (IRIS)

Title: Incident Respons Integratie Systeem (IRIS) Description:

Bij Basic-Fit Tech draaien tientallen applicaties tegelijk: de app, de kiosks in de sportscholen, de website enzovoort. Als één daarvan problemen ervaart, wil je dat snel weten én snel handelen. Daarvoor zijn er monitoringtools die constant meten of alles nog werkt en een melding sturen zodra dat niet zo is.

Het probleem zit in wat er na zo'n melding moest gebeuren. Iemand moest handmatig een taak aanmaken, de juiste persoon informeren, informatie uit de melding kopiëren & plakken in het bijhorende ticket en bijhouden of het werd opgepakt. Dat kostte tijd en ging regelmatig mis, wat leidde tot enorm veel frictie en frustratie. IRIS automatiseert dat proces volledig: een melding wordt direct een gestructureerde taak met de juiste prioriteit en nodige informatie over de oorzaak.

Maar daarmee was de diepere oorzaak nog niet aangepakt. Veel oorzaken van de meldingen kloppen namelijk niet. Sommige gaan af op momenten dat er helemaal niemand werkt, andere zijn zo gevoelig ingesteld dat ze nagenoeg constant afgaan. Ontwikkelaars die dat patroon herkennen, leren meldingen negeren. Precies op dat moment mist een echte storing zijn doel.

De AI-uitbreiding van IRIS richt zich daarop. Het systeem analyseert periodiek alle monitoringconfiguraties, vergelijkt ze met best practices en geeft waar nodig per onderdeel concrete suggesties. Daarnaast kunnen ontwikkelaars via een chatbot in gewone taal beschrijven wat ze willen monitoren. De chatbot vertaalt dat naar een correcte configuratie, zodat nieuwe meldingen meteen goed zijn ingesteld.

Het doel is eenvoudig: minder ruis, zodat een echte storing altijd opvalt.

Infrastructure Design and Implementation of Zero Trust Architecture for Identity and Access Management

Title: Design and Implementation of Zero Trust Architecture for Identity and Access Management Description:

This project was a graduation internship at a medium-sized lifestyle clothing company in Europe. It uses a hybrid IT system, which means it has both on-site systems and cloud-based identity tools.
Before this project, company did not have strong Zero Trust security. Users only used passwords to log in. There was no good remote access system. There was no Single Sign-On, so users needed many passwords for different systems. Also, access to systems was not based on job roles.
Goal of this project was to design, build and test a Zero Trust Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution. This was a proof of concept which means a small test version to show that the idea works.
The project had six sprints:

Sprint 0: Research and planning
Sprint 1: Set up passwordless login
Sprint 2: Set up a Zero Trust network access solution
Sprint 3: Set up Single Sign-On for business apps
Sprint 4: Design Role-Based Access Control and an automated process for new, changed, and leaving employees
Sprint 5: Testing and writing documentation

After this project, the company improved its security level for Identity, Devices, and Network areas. This was measured using a well-known Zero Trust maturity model.

User Interaction Optimalisatie van de Begra E-commerce Customer Journey door middel van een gestandaardiseerd kwalitatief onderzoekspanel.

Title: Optimalisatie van de Begra E-commerce Customer Journey door middel van een gestandaardiseerd kwalitatief onderzoekspanel. Description:

Begra Magazijninrichting is een grote speler in de B2B e-commerce. Hoewel het bedrijf beschikte over veel kwantitatieve data via analytics (wat doen gebruikers?), ontbrak de kwalitatieve laag: waarom haken zakelijke inkopers af en waar loopt hun beslissingsproces vast? Webshop-keuzes werden hierdoor vaak gebaseerd op aannames in plaats van hard bewijs.
Tijdens mijn afstudeerproject heb ik de omslag gemaakt van aannames naar bewijslast door een compleet en gestandaardiseerd intern 'AI UX Lab' te ontwerpen en implementeren voor het e-commerce team.
Ik heb een op maat gemaakt UX-dashboard ontwikkeld dat het volledige testproces faciliteert. Om het analyseren van kwalitatieve data schaalbaar te maken voor een klein team, is er een geavanceerde AI-workflow (via Gemini en NotebookLM) in het dashboard geïntegreerd.
Met dit lab zijn de eerste testrondes met echte B2B-klanten succesvol uitgevoerd. De opgedane inzichten zijn direct vertaald naar datagedreven redesigns Met dit afstudeerproject heeft Begra nu een blijvend, overdraagbaar instrument in handen om de conversie-roadmap structureel en onderbouwd te optimaliseren.

Software Adaptive Build–Buy–Free Decision Support for Microservices

Title: Adaptive Build–Buy–Free Decision Support for Microservices Description:

Binnen moderne microservice-architecturen moeten voortdurend keuzes worden gemaakt tussen het zelf ontwikkelen, inkopen of hergebruiken van functionaliteit. In de praktijk worden deze beslissingen vaak impliciet en contextafhankelijk genomen, waardoor ze lastig te onderbouwen, reproduceren en later opnieuw te evalueren zijn.

Dit afstudeerproject introduceert de Microservice Decision Support (MDS) methode: een onderzoeksgerichte beslisondersteuningsmethode voor build–buy–free keuzes binnen een microservice-gebaseerd deelplatform.

Het project combineert architectuuranalyse, multi-criteria besluitvorming en prototypeontwikkeling. De methode structureert architectuurkeuzes op basis van criteria, gewichten, aannames, onzekerheid en feedback uit runtime-data.

Als validatie is een Proof-of-Concept ontwikkeld in C#/.NET waarmee beslissingen gedeeltelijk geautomatiseerd en her-evalueerbaar worden gemaakt. De PoC ondersteunt onder andere adaptive scoring, uncertainty handling, missing data analyse en runtime-triggered herevaluatie.

Het doel van dit project is het verbeteren van de transparantie, reproduceerbaarheid en adaptiviteit van architectuurbeslissingen binnen veranderende software-ecosystemen.

Infrastructure Call-result simulator for Python based SIP call-blocking system

Title: Call-result simulator for Python based SIP call-blocking system Description:

Swisscom's B2B voice infrastructure relies on a Python-based SIP application to manage and protect incoming and outgoing business call, handling fraud detection, call-blocking, and spam filtering. When support or operations staff need to validate a customer's call flow, they had to interact directly with live production systems. This introduced a few problems, namely: polluted production logs by test traffic and requiring advanced approval for every test.

This project researched and designed a SIP call-result simulator that resolves both of these issues without touching production infrastructure. The simulator models the expected call-routing outcome of the existing application, allowing support and operations to test and troubleshoot call flows at any time.

The result is a proof of concept tool that gives support and operations teams a safe, self-service way to reproduce and diagnose call-flow issues, improving response times and decreasing risk of data pollution.

Software ThingsFlow, a workflow tool for thingsDB

Title: ThingsFlow, a workflow tool for thingsDB Description:

ThingsFlow is a workflow module built for ThingsDB that acts as centralized middleware to bridge incompatible data structures across diverse external systems. It automatically validates, casts, and maps incoming payloads to the exact formats required by receiving endpoints. This enables a wide variety of automated integrations, ranging from syncing complex transactional data between an ERP platform (e.g., AFAS) and a webshop, to orchestrating multi-step operational pipelines—such as capturing a webhook payload from a submitted contact form, creating a new CRM contact in Simplicate, and seamlessly dispatching a welcome email using the native SMTP module.
The system provides a visual drag-and-drop user interface where data pipelines are constructed using pre-built, reusable block components. This architecture eliminates the need for manual coding while maintaining a traceable overview of the system's execution flows.

User Interaction Configuratieplatform voor nieuwe militaire radios

Title: Configuratieplatform voor nieuwe militaire radios Description:

De huidige systemen in militaire voertuigen hebben te maken met veroudering en afnemende compatibiliteit. Hierdoor is een upgrade noodzakelijk om de voertuigen toekomstbestendig te maken. De modernisering en vernieuwing van deze communicatiemiddelen vindt plaats binnen het grootschalige defensieproject FOXTROT, dat zich richt op de modernisering van tactische communicatiemiddelen en IT-infrastructuur. Een stap hierin is de vervanging van de radio’s. De introductie van nieuwe, complexere radio’s brengt echter een grotere technische kennisbehoefte met zich mee dan wenselijk is voor de eindgebruiker.

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage heb ik mij daarom gericht op het ontwikkelen van een gebruiksvriendelijke interface voor het nieuwe configuratieplatform voor radio’s. Dit platform moet een essentieel hulpmiddel worden binnen het gereedmakingsproces, zodat systemen eenvoudig kunnen worden geconfigureerd.

Met de huidige moderniseringsslag wordt de eindgebruiker actief betrokken in het ontwerpproces. Gebruikersonderzoek speelt daarbij een cruciale rol: door inzicht te krijgen in de behoeften, werkwijzen en uitdagingen van militair personeel is het configuratiesysteem ontworpen op een manier die aansluit bij hun praktijkervaring.

Mijn opdracht richt zich op het vertalen van complexe technische processen naar een helder, toegankelijk en toekomstbestendig ontwerp. Het doel: een configuratiesysteem dat de technische drempel verlaagt, het werkproces versnelt en de betrouwbaarheid van de systemen verhoogt.

Software Architectural Redesign and Migration to a Cross-Platform KMP SDK with Android Feature Development

Title: Architectural Redesign and Migration to a Cross-Platform KMP SDK with Android Feature Development Description:

Modern mobile organizations face a costly challenge: maintaining duplicate business logic across Android and iOS codebases. This graduation project, conducted during a 20-week internship at Tumba Solutions - embedded within the mobile platform team of a major US professional sports association - tackled this "Double Maintenance Tax" head-on.

The core objective was to design and implement a standalone Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) SDK that centralizes shared business logic into a single codebase, consumable by both Android and iOS applications serving millions of fans worldwide. The project addressed one primary research question: How can a standalone KMP SDK be designed and integrated to serve as the single source of truth for a cross-platform mobile ecosystem?

The project followed three phases. First, I built a demo application to understand the existing architecture and migrated four production features from native code into the shared module. Second, I designed a layered SDK architecture separating independently versionable foundation modules from product-facing feature modules. Third, I implemented this architecture through a 5-phase refactoring - creating a core abstractions module, internalizing transport-layer data models, decomposing a monolithic class into focused components, and restructuring the project into composite builds that enforce module boundaries at the build system level.

The key finding is that portability is not a feature added at the end - it is an architectural property that emerges from interface-based platform abstraction, internal data models, and structurally enforced module boundaries. The refactored SDK can now be distributed as a standalone artifact to external stakeholders, a capability that did not exist before.

Beyond the SDK work, I contributed to Android production feature development & bug fixes under release pressure, led an Onboarding screen migration initiative recognized by team leadership, and conducted research into AI-assisted autonomous developer workflows.

Software Migration/Conversion Tool

Title: Migration/Conversion Tool Description:

The internship assignment for AmeXio is to design and build a proof-of-concept tool that converts document templates used to generate dynamic and personalized HR documents such as contracts and emails. AmeXio customers are migrating from the on-premises OpenText Content Manager to the cloud-based OpenText Core Communications. Because automatic conversion does not exist, AmeXio employees currently rebuild templates manually, which is slow, costly, and error prone. In practice, a team of three AmeXio employees would otherwise spend about five months manually converting 76 templates for single client, while the tool could reduce that work to less than three hours. The challenge is that both systems use different template structures and concepts, so the assignment focuses on analysing those differences, defining reusable mapping rules, and creating a reliable conversion flow that can handle common template features such as fields, conditions, and basic layout elements. The goal is to deliver a maintainable and user-friendly proof of concept that can analyse, convert, and validate a defined subset of templates, report unsupported parts clearly, and produce output that AmeXio employees can trust and use in real migration work.

Hardware Interfacing Designing and Implementing Localisation on a reconnaissance UGV

Title: Designing and Implementing Localisation on a reconnaissance UGV Description:

During my graduation internship at the entrepreneurial lab at TMC Eindhoven, I designed and implemented a complete localisation method for a reconnaissance UGV used in the defence sector. Before my project, the UGV had no capability to estimate its own position, which limited both its usability and operational reliability.
In this project, I built the localisation system entirely from the ground up. I started by analysing all available sensor data and evaluating how each source behaved under different environmental and operational conditions. From there, I investigated how these sources could be combined into a single, coherent position estimate. This included studying sensor limitations, identifying failure modes, and determining how to maintain stability when data quality changed.
Based on this research, I developed a localisation approach that delivers stable, reliable, and continuous position estimates, even when individual sensors degrade or temporarily fail. I also ensured that the solution integrated cleanly into the existing software architecture, requiring minimal changes to the rest of the system.
The final result is a fully functional localisation system that significantly improves the UGV’s situational awareness and operational robustness.

Infrastructure Designing a Future-Proof Security Operations Model for Prodrive Technologies

Title: Designing a Future-Proof Security Operations Model for Prodrive Technologies Description:

This graduation project focuses on improving the current security operation model within Prodrive Technologies (PT), a high-tech engineering company operating in a complex IT and OT environment. As the company grows, managing the current cybersecurity environment gets more challenging due to expanding infrastructure and scarce security personal.
The goal of this project is to research and design a scalable security model that improves detection, response and overall efficiency. To achieve this, the project combines research, stakeholder interviews and prototyping. The current environment is analysed on a higher level to see where the common issues are within Prodrive such as tooling, integrations between systems and effective use of security resources.
A comparison between models and tools will be done to better understand their capabilities and they will be tested on detection, response, usability and integration.
Based on all the findings there will be a future state defined, and afterwards there will be a gap analysis that shows where PT can improve to move from current state to future state. The project will be completed with a roadmap that will show the required changes that PT will need to do.
The project will deliver a practical and actionable way for PT to strengthen its cybersecurity environment and support their current growth goals.

Infrastructure Infrastructure as Code for Cisco Meraki Automation

Title: Infrastructure as Code for Cisco Meraki Automation Description:

Within Simac IT’s networking department the provisioning, configuration and management of Cisco Meraki are still being done manually. On top of this there is no standardized way of creating and configuring a network within this department.

This essentially creates three problems, the fact that this way of working is not scalable because Meraki Dashboard GUI is quite slow. This way of working is prone to errors and the fact that there is no documented standard, meaning that each environment is harder to maintain due to configurations varying a lot.

At the same time the networking sector is moving into a direction where automation becomes more and more important, these factors create the need for this project.

To find a solution to these problems I investigate the possibilities to implement Infrastructure as Code for Cisco Meraki. The goal is to find the right solution that makes provisioning, configuration and management scalable, more reliable and “forces” a clear standard of how Simac’s Meraki teams work with the technology.

I have compared different Infrastructure as Code options in order to find the best fit for Meraki. In addition, I have looked at the way network automation is already implemented in other networking teams. Lastly, I have mapped the provisioning, configuration and management processes for Meraki and optimized them to accommodate the use of Infrastructure as Code when this gets implemented.

These insights all form comprehensive advice on how to optimize the processes and implement a fitting Infrastructure as Code solution.

Hardware Interfacing Control pipetting of the Opentrons Flex in a Self driven lab using SiLA2

Title: Control pipetting of the Opentrons Flex in a Self driven lab using SiLA2 Description:

Modern chemical research demands precision, repeatability, and speed — qualities that manual laboratory workflows often struggle to deliver. This project addresses that challenge by contributing to the development of a Self-Driving Lab (SDL): an autonomous system capable of planning, executing, and optimizing chemical experiments without human intervention.

At the heart of this work is the Opentrons Flex, a liquid handling robot responsible for the controlled dispensing and mixing of chemical substances. To function as part of a larger automated pipeline, this machine must communicate seamlessly with other scientific instruments — such as a robotic arm and a Tecan Spark plate reader. This integration is achieved through SiLA2, an open, standardized communication protocol designed specifically for laboratory automation.
The core objective of this project is to mature the existing SiLA2 server for the Opentrons Flex from its current state to a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) — a stable, well-documented, and reliable implementation ready for adoption by a broader scientific community. This directly supports the goals of the Big-Chemistry Consortium, a collaborative network of universities working together to build the chemistry lab of the future through robotics and machine learning.

The project is embedded within the High Tech Embedded Systems (HTES) lectoraat at Fontys ICT, where it sits alongside the contributions of fellow students and researchers, each advancing different components of the RobotLab ecosystem. Together, these efforts push the Technology Readiness Level of the SDL closer to a fully operational, closed-loop experimental platform.

Software Centrale provisioning-applicatie voor PON- en AON-netwerken

Title: Centrale provisioning-applicatie voor PON- en AON-netwerken Description:

De configuratie van glasvezelaansluitingen (PON en AON) bij Fiber Operator verliep via twee gescheiden systemen. Dit zorgde voor extra beheerlast, een gebrek aan directe feedback en vendor lock-in door hardcoded leverancierspecifieke commando's.

In dit afstudeerproject is een centrale provisioning-applicatie ontworpen en ontwikkeld ter vervanging van deze systemen. De applicatie dient als het knooppunt voor het netwerkbeheer: het ontvangt configuratieverzoeken vanuit het CRM-systeem, haalt benodigde data op uit 'Single Sources of Truth' (NetBox) en koppelt de eindstatus asynchroon terug.

De backend is ontwikkeld in Python met FastAPI, omdat dit het industriestandaard is voor netwerkautomatisering en goed aansluit bij de programmeerkennis van het huidige team. Het Temporal-framework is geïmplementeerd voor de taakorkestratie. Dit framework beheert de status van verzoeken, plaatst taken in apparaatspecifieke wachtrijen om overbelasting te voorkomen en verzorgt automatische retries bij storingen. De CLI/SSH-communicatie met de hardware wordt afgehandeld via de asynchrone Scrapli-bibliotheek.

Om vendor lock-in te voorkomen, is de software gebouwd volgens de principes van Clean Architecture met ontwerppatronen zoals Strategy, Adapter en Command. Hierdoor is de kern van de applicatie volledig gescheiden van de specifieke logica voor Huawei- of Raisecom-apparatuur. Dit stelt het systeem in staat om bij configuratiefouten gericht een rollback uit te voeren en maakt het mogelijk om toekomstige hardwaremerken toe te voegen zonder de applicatie te hoeven herschrijven.

De applicatie is met succes gevalideerd in een testomgeving met fysieke netwerkapparatuur (TRL-6). Hiermee beschikt Fiber Operator over een geautomatiseerde basis voor het beheer van het glasvezelnetwerk.

Hardware Interfacing WML-Pomphuis – Nyrstar Budel

Title: WML-Pomphuis – Nyrstar Budel Description:

Voor mijn afstudeerstage heb ik bij Nyrstar Budel gewerkt aan de herontwikkeling van de besturing van het WML-pomphuis. Dit pomphuis wint 24/7 kanaalwater uit het Zuid-Willemsvaart, zuivert het en transporteert het vervolgens naar de fabriek, waar het voornamelijk wordt gebruikt in het koelwatersysteem.

Nyrstar heeft het pomphuis recent in eigen beheer genomen, maar de bestaande besturingssoftware voldeed niet aan de interne codeerstandaarden. De software was geschreven in STL, slecht gedocumenteerd en bevatte nog verwijzingen naar installaties die inmiddels niet meer aanwezig waren.

Om dit aan te pakken, is besloten de volledige software te herschrijven, met behoud van de bestaande hardware. Mijn opdracht bestond uit het ontwikkelen van een nieuwe besturing in TIA Portal (een Siemens-ontwikkelomgeving), volgens de interne softwarestandaard van Nyrstar.

Tijdens het project heb ik de nieuwe software ontwikkeld volgens de Nyrstar-standaarden en de bijbehorende documentatie opgesteld. Het resultaat is een overzichtelijk en betrouwbaar besturingssysteem dat beter aansluit op de huidige bedrijfsvoering en bijdraagt aan de continuïteit van de wateraanvoer naar de fabriek.

User Interaction Ontwerp en realisatie van een managementdashboard voor het MyDirix-platform

Title: Ontwerp en realisatie van een managementdashboard voor het MyDirix-platform Description:

Goede beslissingen beginnen bij betrouwbare cijfers. Bij grondverzet bedrijf Dirix Elsloo ging veel werk vroeger met de hand: gegevens werden op losse plekken bijgehouden en zodra daar een fout in sloop, klopte ook alles wat er daarna uit kwam niet meer. Foute invoer betekent foute uitkomsten.

Met MyDirix, het platform van BeterBijOns, is die invoer inmiddels flink op orde: transport, planning, financiën, voertuigen en uren worden nu digitaal en op een plek geregistreerd. Dat vermindert het aantal fouten flink. Volledig foutloos is geen enkel systeem dat door mensen wordt gebruikt, maar de data die binnenkomt is wel een stuk betrouwbaarder doordat er nu niet van elkaar wordt overgeschreven. Toch is goede data alleen niet genoeg: het management had nog weinig zicht op hoe het bedrijf er echt voor staat, doordat de cijfers verspreid en lastig te overzien waren.

Mijn afstudeerproject richt zich daarom op de uitkomst. Bovenop MyDirix heb ik een managementdashboard ontworpen en gebouwd dat de betrouwbare data omzet in helder overzicht. In plaats van de standaardrapporten die elk systeem apart voor een onderdeel levert, geeft dit dashboard een overkoepelend inzicht over de verschillende bedrijfstakken heen van transport en planning tot voertuigen, uren en financiën in een plek. Elke rol heeft bovendien een eigen dashboard: een chauffeur, een planner en het management zien elk een overzicht dat is gemaakt op wat voor hen belangrijk is.

Zo kunnen we het management nu betrouwbare inzichten en adviezen geven die echt helpen bij de besluitvorming. Met doorklikbare tegels en statuskleuren geeft het dashboard in een oogopslag de gezondheid van het bedrijf weer en laat het meteen zien waar het knelt. Het kijkt ook vooruit: door historische en actuele data te combineren signaleert het trends en afwijkingen vroeg, zodat het management proactief kan bijsturen in plaats van achteraf.

Aan de technische kant is het dashboard modulair opgebouwd en ontworpen om zichzelf te herstellen wanneer de verbinding wegvalt, zonder dat het werk stil komt te liggen. De techniek erachter bestaat uit Next.js en React voor de interface, Node.js met Express aan de serverkant, Appwrite als database en Redis voor caching. De data wordt real-time ververst met SWR en de financiële gegevens zijn gekoppeld aan Microsoft Business Central.

Infrastructure Making Compliance Operational

Title: Making Compliance Operational Description:

Compliance pressure on Dutch MKB organisations is real and growing. ISO 27001, NIS2, customer security questionnaires are all part of the picture, but in most shops it's still handled the same way: reactively, when an audit appears or a customer asks for proof. That isn't security. It's scrambling.
This graduation project, carried out at Digital Individuals (an MSP delivering Microsoft 365, VoIP, Azure, and Intune environments to MKB clients), is built around a simple question: what would it take to make "secure-by-default" the standard delivery model, not a one-off project, but the way new clients are onboarded by default?
The approach starts with a structured analysis of ISO 27001, NIS2, and CIS Controls v8.1, producing a prioritised baseline of 37 controls plus 8 gap controls. Each one is justified, benchmarked against existing frameworks, and translated into something engineers can actually build with: concrete architecture, operational processes, configuration standards, and reusable templates.
One genuine complication worth naming: the student is also co-owner of the company hosting the project. Validating your own framework against your own delivery model is a real risk for circular reasoning, so external compliance experts are involved as reviewers from day one to keep the assessment honest.
The remaining phases focus on adapting the baseline across different client contexts and putting it through formal validation, turning a solid foundation into something demonstrably delivery-ready.

Software Quiddy

Title: Quiddy Description:

Quiddy is a mobile application that helps young adults between 16 and 25 quit smoking and vaping. Built during my ICT internship at IJsfontein Amsterdam, the project is a renewal of an existing app originally developed for the Trimbos Institute and now being taken over by addiction-care organisation Jellinek/Tactus.

At its core, Quiddy is built around quitting together and gaining insight into your own smoking habits. Users pair up with a buddy and support each other through the journey, while the app helps them understand why they reach for a cigarette in the first place: the triggers, moments, and patterns behind their habit. During difficult moments, Quiddy offers help drawn from a personally selected set of exercises and coping options, chosen to fit the user's own preferences and situation. Alongside this, users can track their quitting journey and see their progress grow over time.

Designing for a young audience meant balancing motivation with sensitivity. The app supports without lecturing, avoiding the harsh anti-smoking tone that often pushes this age group away. The interface went through three iterations in close collaboration with designers and programmers at IJsfontein, with every flow checked against behavioural-change research and feedback from Jellinek's addiction experts.

Software Cloud Zenith - An Automated Multi-Cloud Cost Optimization Platform

Title: Cloud Zenith - An Automated Multi-Cloud Cost Optimization Platform Description:

Cloud Zenith is a cost optimization platform for Kubernetes infrastructure. It connects to cloud clusters and tracks how much resources each running service actually uses versus what it has reserved, then calculates exactly how much money is being wasted on over-provisioned resources.

The platform gives engineering teams a clear view of their infrastructure spend across all customers and clusters in one place. It highlights which services are wasteful, which are under-provisioned, and which are running optimally—and puts a monthly dollar figure on each one so teams can prioritize what to fix first.

Drilling into a cluster shows live resource usage graphs and a full breakdown of every running service with a concrete rightsizing recommendation: here is what you currently reserve, here is what you actually need, and here is how much you save by making the change.

The goal is to remove the guesswork from Kubernetes resource management. Instead of engineers manually reviewing metrics and estimating safe resource limits, Cloud Zenith surfaces the recommendation automatically and keeps it up to date as workload behavior changes over time.

Software Improving Delivery Speed and Software Quality in DevOps Teams

Title: Improving Delivery Speed and Software Quality in DevOps Teams Description:

In this project at ASML End User Services (EUS), I investigate what are the existing practices and quality gates within different teams at EUS, which ones cause delivery bottlenecks and quality related risks, how modern and high performing DevOps teams at the leading technology companies balance rapid delivery with maintaining high software quality, which practices most effectively reduce quality-related risks and would be applicable to the current teams at EUS. I establish an evidence-based baseline using DORA metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and time to restore service), assess DevOps capability maturity across teams and features, and collect qualitative insights through lifecycle-aligned interviews (Plan → Create → Verify → Release → Operate/Monitor). To ensure fair comparison, I apply a cohort lens for teams that primarily deliver through software development versus teams that deliver through configuration on vendor platforms.

The outcome is a set of professional products: a reproducible baseline, assessment and dashboard, a maturity overview, and a prioritized set of improvement options. The project concludes with a management-level readout, a pilot proposal and proof of concept focused on strengthening ownership, feedback loops, and consistent quality gates, creating a foundation for faster and safer delivery.

Software Predictive Time Tracking: A Hybrid AI and Algorithmic Approach

Title: Predictive Time Tracking: A Hybrid AI and Algorithmic Approach Description:

During my internship at Time on, a SaaS platform focused on entrepreneurs and "zzp'ers," I researched how to effectively integrate AI into the application to lower the administrative workload for users. I specifically focused on the hour booking process, looking for ways to make it more intuitive and automated. I started by building a custom algorithm that generates suggestions based on a user's historical data. Choosing a logic based algorithm first was a deliberate move to ensure reliability and prevent "hallucinations," which can be a common issue with pure AI models.

Later in the project, we further improved these suggestions by integrating the user's agenda. I used AI to recognize patterns, parts of names, and time overlaps between agenda items and previous bookings. By combining the historical algorithm with these real-time agenda insights, I developed a hybrid system that provides very accurate suggestions.

Beyond the back-end logic, I also handled the front-end implementation to ensure a seamless user experience. I developed a sidebar featuring "ghost blocks" visual suggestion blocks that represent potential time entries. This allowed users to see predicted bookings at a glance and accept them with a single click. This hybrid approach, paired with a clean and interactive UI, successfully reduced the manual effort required for administration, allowing users to complete their hour bookings much faster and with greater ease.

User Interaction Resilient Society: Online disinformation in case of emergencies

Title: Resilient Society: Online disinformation in case of emergencies Description:

This is my graduation project at Futures Lab, as part of the Resilient Society team. During emergencies such as floods or large disasters, the spread of misinformation and misleading narratives online can undermine official crisis communication, cause panic, and lead civilians to make harmful decisions. The goal of this project is to change from a reactive to a proactive strategy for combating misinformation. Through extensive research, we are working on a concept designed to help civilians make sense of the overwhelming amount of information during a crisis. The solution aims to support emergency services and authorities in reducing confusion and panic, in order to create a more resilient society.

Organisational Processes The Blind Spot - Why Good Data Alone Doesn't Drive Better Decisions

Title: The Blind Spot - Why Good Data Alone Doesn't Drive Better Decisions Description:

Most organizations assume that having more data leads to better decisions; to an extent, it's true if it is smartly used. PCAR Market, a U.S.-based premium car auction platform, had exactly that, a growing Data Warehouse, competitor data, automated pricing tools, and a start in BI reporting. And yet, nobody was using it.
Why do teams with access to good data still default to gut feeling and manual spreadsheets? What makes a dashboard trusted versus ignored? And when the data is technically there but organizationally invisible, who is responsible for closing that gap?
This project investigates the space between data availability and data adoption, a blind spot that most BI implementations ignore.

Software Virtual machine rightsizing with cloud-based code profiling & data analytics

Title: Virtual machine rightsizing with cloud-based code profiling & data analytics Description:

The graduation internship is conducted at ASML Metrology & Machine Control Innovation Hub (MXIH). It is comprised of low-level Gradle projects code profiling connected with large pipeline data analytics for virtual machine (VM) rightsizing. Code profiling solution is realized as a reusable GitHub action, using custom VMs in GitHub on premises as runners. And is capable of static, dynamic and combined profiling with system /proc data monitoring, going down to per core load distribution. The solution is smart and can do self-calibration via adjusting coefficients by comparing static and dynamic profiling results. It is supported by another GH runner-based action capable of finding currently available VMs and pulling their historical data for analysis. Which also shows how much CPU & RAM and how much time VMs were under different load. The data flows into a GitHub Pages dashboard that shows oversized/rightsized/undersized VMs' statuses and suggests optimization. As well it shows potential cost reduction, which could go up to a thousand euro per day, indicating a significant value of the project for the team and ASML. Overall, MXIH runs and maintains thousands of VMs for different purposes in GCP, GKE, GH on prem for many different code repositories, what makes accurate and precise sizing crucial to avoid too slow compilation or extra expenses.

Software Optimalisatie van Content Metadata in PADS4

Title: Optimalisatie van Content Metadata in PADS4 Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Net Display Systems (NDS) in Eindhoven heb ik gewerkt aan het optimaliseren van content-metadata binnen PADS4, het digital signage-platform van NDS. Klanten zoals luchthavens, ziekenhuizen en winkels beheren in PADS4 honderden foto's en video's. Het probleem: deze bestanden hadden vaak geen labels of zoekwoorden, waardoor ze moeilijk en traag terug te vinden waren. Mijn oplossing is een AI-systeem dat automatisch labels genereert voor afbeeldingen en video's in de PADS4 Content Library. De gebruiker uploadt een bestand, de AI analyseert de inhoud, en er worden automatisch relevante labels toegevoegd. De gebruiker behoudt altijd controle en kan labels aanpassen of aanvullen. Hierdoor zijn bestanden sneller terug te vinden, zonder dat alles handmatig gelabeld hoeft te worden. Technisch bestaat de oplossing uit een C#-backend (.NET) met een achtergrondservice voor de verwerking, een Angular/NgRx-frontend, vision-modellen voor de beeldanalyse, en FFmpeg om frames uit video's te halen. Een belangrijke uitdaging was een race condition: bij het tegelijk uploaden van meerdere bestanden kreeg alleen het eerste bestand labels. Dit heb ik opgelost met een wachtrij-systeem, zodat alle bestanden in de juiste volgorde verwerkt worden en correct hun labels krijgen. Dit project liet me zien hoe testen, samenwerking en continue verbetering zijn bij het bouwen van succesvolle software. AI kan mediabeheer slimmer maken, maar de echte waarde ontstaat pas door zorgvuldig te testen, feedback direct te verwerken en in gesprek te blijven met gebruikers en collega's.

Software Telemetry-Driven EV Smart Charging

Title: Telemetry-Driven EV Smart Charging Description:

Deftpower’s smart charging is limited by charger-side integrations, especially for home charging, where flexibility is highest but chargers are often not controllable or even visible to the platform. This project proposes EV-only smart charging, which detects, monitors, and steers charging sessions using vehicle telemetry alone, avoiding dependency on the charge point operator. A Tesla proof of concept was implemented using Fleet Telemetry streaming, a secure ingestion pipeline, event-driven state updates, and saga-based session lifecycle management. Validation with a real vehicle has proven the feasibility of the suggested approach.

Software Extracting Windows Registry credentials while avoiding EDR detection

Title: Extracting Windows Registry credentials while avoiding EDR detection Description:

Tijdens red team operaties is het verzamelen van credential-gerelateerde informatie op systemen een belangrijk onderdeel. De Windows Registry bevat verschillende artefacten die hierbij relevant zijn, zoals LSA Secrets, gecachte credentials en configuratiewaarden die bepalen hoe credentials worden opgeslagen en beveiligd.

Dit afstudeerproject wordt uitgevoerd bij The S-Unit, een Nederlands offensive securitybedrijf gevestigd in Utrecht. Het onderzoek richt zich op de vraag welke credential-gerelateerde Windows Registry-artefacten het meest relevant zijn vanuit een red team perspectief, hoe deze technisch benaderd kunnen worden en welke detectiemechanismen verdedigers gebruiken om dergelijke interacties te identificeren.

Het onderzoek combineert literatuurstudie, praktijktesten in een gesimuleerde Active Directory-omgeving en interviews met red teamers. Belangrijke onderwerpen zijn de technische opbouw van relevante registry-artefacten, de benodigde rechten voor toegang, bestaande open-source tooling en de bijbehorende beperkingen, en de detecteerbaarheid van verschillende benaderingsmethoden via programma's zoals Wazuh en Elastic Defend.

Op basis van deze bevindingen wordt een proof-of-concept ontworpen en ontwikkeld in de vorm van een Beacon Object File (BOF): een lichtgewicht, gecompileerd C-programma dat binnen een bestaand beacon-proces wordt uitgevoerd. De tool is ontworpen om geselecteerde credential-gerelateerde registry-artefacten in memory te benaderen en te verwerken, waarbij rekening wordt gehouden met detectie.

Het resultaat is een praktisch toepasbare en uitbreidbare tool die red teamers meer controle geeft over het verzamelen van credential-gerelateerde registry-informatie, en The S-Unit dieper inzicht biedt in het technische landschap van Windows Registry-artefacten en hun detectie.

Software Workflow Builder for AI-Driven Virtual Humans

Title: Workflow Builder for AI-Driven Virtual Humans Description:

Fontys is developing virtual humans: interactive AI-driven characters that people can communicate with through screens, life-sized holobox installations, or coaching environments. These virtual humans require structured and reliable conversations. Purely open-ended interaction with a language model can become unpredictable, lose context, skip important steps, or fail to recover after interruptions. Until now, there has been no centralized way to design and manage these conversational flows.

This graduation project delivers the Workflow Builder: a platform for authoring, managing, and executing conversational workflows for virtual humans. Using a visual interface, designers can create workflows as structured sequences of conversational steps, each containing its own objective and completion criteria, without requiring programming knowledge. While virtual coaching is one application, the platform is designed to support any virtual human scenario.

At the core of the system is the Workflow Manager, developed with Spring Boot and integrated with the Temporal orchestration engine and Fontys’s existing AI platform. Temporal enables durable execution, allowing interrupted conversations to resume exactly where they stopped.

A key architectural principle is that the language model never communicates directly with the user. Instead, all interactions are handled through the Workflow Manager, which maintains full ownership of the conversation state and transcript. This allows the platform to verify whether each workflow step has actually achieved its intended goal before progressing further.

The Workflow Builder provides Fontys with a centralized and scalable foundation for creating, managing, and reliably executing the conversational experiences behind its virtual humans.

Software Building an automatic and dynamic testing platform

Title: Building an automatic and dynamic testing platform Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeeropdracht bij Andes heb ik gewerkt aan het ontwerpen en ontwikkelen van een configureerbaar automatisch testplatform voor webapplicaties. Andes ontwikkelt verschillende webapplicaties waarvan LTC (Local Traffic Control) de belangrijkste is. Dit is een applicatie waarmee gemeenten vergunningen, wegwerkzaamheden en evenementen in de openbare ruimte beheren en visualiseren. Binnen deze applicaties ontbreekt echter structureel inzicht in beschikbaarheid, betrouwbaarheid en integratiefouten, waardoor problemen vaak pas werden ontdekt nadat gebruikers deze melden.

Het doel van het project was het ontwikkelen van een dynamisch testplatform waarmee end-to-end testen configureerbaar uitgevoerd kunnen worden zonder codeaanpassingen. Het platform moest flexibel genoeg zijn om zowel bestaande als toekomstige webapplicaties te ondersteunen. Daarnaast is onderzocht welke testframeworks hiervoor het meest geschikt zijn en hoe testresultaten gekoppeld kunnen worden aan het monitoringsysteem Nagios.

Een belangrijk onderdeel van het platform is het gebruik van websiteconfiguraties. Binnen Andes worden applicaties vaak meerdere keren gedeployed, bijvoorbeeld voor verschillende omgevingen, klanten of servers. Zonder configuraties zouden dezelfde testen meerdere keren opnieuw aangemaakt moeten worden. Met behulp van websiteconfiguraties kunnen generieke testen hergebruikt worden, waarbij iedere configuratie eigen instellingen en testdata bevat, zoals URL’s, locators en invoerwaarden. Hierdoor kunnen dezelfde testen eenvoudig op meerdere deployments worden uitgevoerd zonder duplicatie van testdefinities.

Binnen het project is onderzoek gedaan naar verschillende testframeworks, configureerbare testarchitecturen, logging- en observabilitystrategieën en integratiemogelijkheden met monitoringsoftware. Op basis hiervan is een prototype ontwikkeld met een Angular frontend en een C# backend. Via een gebruikersinterface kunnen testen, configuraties en automatische uitvoeringen beheerd worden.

Met dit platform kan Andes proactief inzicht krijgen in de werking en beschikbaarheid van webapplicaties. Hierdoor kunnen problemen sneller worden gedetecteerd, betrouwbaarder worden geanalyseerd en beter worden opgevolgd voordat eindgebruikers hier hinder van ondervinden.

User Interaction Mortgage Check 2.0

Title: Mortgage Check 2.0 Description:

This graduation project was carried out at ING, a leading retail bank in the Netherlands, within the Mortgages Design team. It focuses on the Mortgage Check 2.0, a redesign of a digital journey that helps customers, particularly those with interest‑only mortgages, understand their financial situation and future risks.

The current Mortgage Check experience does not sufficiently support customers in making sense of their situation. Users struggle with dense information, unclear risk communication, and limited insight into how different factors affect their mortgage over time. As a result, they find it difficult to engage with the tool and understand what their situation means in practice.

This project explores how an informational mortgage journey can be redesigned to improve understanding, clarity and engagement. Through user research, key pain points were identified around data transparency, risk communication, and lack of actionable insight. Based on these findings, a new concept was developed that structures the experience around a clear hub overview and clickable mortgage timeline areas, helping users tangibly understand current and future affordability, assess repayment feasibility, and explore trade‑offs through scenarios.

The project demonstrates how complex financial information could be communicated more effectively, enabling customers to better understand their mortgage and engage with it with greater confidence.

User Interaction Ontwikkeling innovatieve wachtverzachter - Enversed

Title: Ontwikkeling innovatieve wachtverzachter - Enversed Description:

Binnen het Enversed Experience Center ontstaan korte wachttijden tussen VR-sessies. Hoewel deze momenten momenteel geen groot probleem vormen, worden ze vooral passief ingevuld, en valt hier nog veel uit te halen. Dit project onderzoekt hoe wachttijd kan worden omgezet in een interactieve en sociale ervaring die beter aansluit bij Enversed.

Door middel van observaties, stakeholderinterviews en benchmarkonderzoek is onderzocht welke vormen van interactie het beste werken binnen een publieke wachtruimte. Uit deze inzichten bleek dat vooral korte, intuïtieve en visueel opvallende interacties bezoekers spontaan uitnodigen tot deelname.

Op basis hiervan wordt een interactieve multiplayer installatie ontwikkeld waarin bezoekers via handtracking tegen elkaar spelen in een snelle interpretatie van steen, papier, schaar. De focus ligt op laagdrempelige gameplay, sociale interactie en een ervaring waarin bezoekers op ieder moment kunnen instappen of stoppen zonder de flow van het spel te onderbreken.

Infrastructure DevSecOps Platform for Kubernetes: eBPF Enforcement, Zero Trust, GitOps, and Quality Gates

Title: DevSecOps Platform for Kubernetes: eBPF Enforcement, Zero Trust, GitOps, and Quality Gates Description:

Modern applications are no longer single programs but dozens of small services, each in its own container, orchestrated by Kubernetes, now the default for cloud software. That shift has outpaced the tools meant to secure it: traditional firewalls cannot see traffic between services, hand-written security policies drift out of date, and a growing share of code is now produced by AI assistants whose output rarely receives a security review.

This graduation project, carried out at Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity, builds a working platform that closes that gap using open-source tools from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. A developer pushing a change to GitLab triggers a pipeline of quality gates: linters, SonarQube code analysis, Gitleaks secret scans, and Trivy image and IaC checks. ArgoCD then syncs the change into the cluster, eBPF probes in the kernel enforce policy on every running container, Keycloak handles identity and SSO, and live dashboards confirm what happened. The same gates apply to human and AI-generated code alike. The project used AI assistants across development and troubleshooting, spanning local and proprietary models, wrappers, and agentic workflows, as part of the research.

To prove the platform holds up, the intentionally vulnerable DVWA and Google's Hipster Shop, a microservices demo, were attacked with scripted exploits, Nuclei template scans and fuzzing, and k6 load tests. Cilium blocked unauthorised service traffic at lower overhead than iptables, Tetragon killed disallowed processes the moment they ran, and the application kept serving users at normal speed. The threat model is grounded in NIST guidance on container security, CI/CD pipelines, and zero-trust architecture, covering six MITRE ATT&CK tactics including Execution, Privilege Escalation, and Exfiltration.

The same packaged stack runs identically on a developer's laptop and on AWS, showing that secure, reproducible, vendor-neutral delivery is achievable on open foundations alone, no proprietary security suite required.

User Interaction Design and Development of Quarterly Price Adjustment Workflow Automation Tool

Title: Design and Development of Quarterly Price Adjustment Workflow Automation Tool Description:

At SIG Netherlands, quarterly price adjustments are a critical but heavily manual process. Pricing specialists combine data from multiple sources weekly, Excel updates from the sales team, internal ERP extracts, and external price indexes to calculate and update prices for each customer contract. Logic is scattered across disconnected spreadsheets, verification depends on individual expertise, and there is limited traceability of what changed, when, and why. This creates significant time pressure, risk of errors, and lack of transparency across stakeholders.
This graduation project designs, builds, and validates an automated price adjustment workflow system that replaces the manual Excel-driven process with a centralised, cloud-based platform. The solution is built on Microsoft Power Platform for the user interface and workflow, backed by Azure SQL Database for structured data storage and Azure Functions as a serverless API layer for calculation logic and data processing.
The application enables pricing specialists to manage quarterly timelines, configure product and material pricing rules, and trigger automated calculations all within a single Power Apps interface using native components including galleries, forms, and comparison dashboards. A built-in approval workflow using Microsoft Power Automate allows Key Account Managers to review, compare, and sign off on price adjustments before they reach the customer. Every change is logged with a full audit trail, ensuring traceability of inputs, decisions, and outputs across quarters.
The result is a significant reduction in manual effort, human error, and knowledge dependency. What previously required hours of cross-file reconciliation can now be completed in a controlled, traceable, and role-secured environment within a significantly short amount of time. The system is designed following Microsoft Power Platform best practices and SIG's internal governance standards, making it maintainable and extensible for future integration with ERP systems and broader reporting needs.

Organisational Processes Making a Reflective Vitality Dashboard: A Preventative Health Informatics Tool for Healthcare Resilience

Title: Making a Reflective Vitality Dashboard: A Preventative Health Informatics Tool for Healthcare Resilience Description:

The healthcare sectors in the Netherlands and Flanders face severe workforce shortages and an aging population, causing extreme pressure and widespread professional burnout. The "Samen aan Z" project addresses this challenge by building resilience through a digital vitality platform.

Situated within health informatics and human-computer interaction (HCI), this project bridges a critical gap: while the platform possesses a functional backend that successfully stores wearable tracking data and surveys, it lacks a user interface, leaving this collected information completely idle. The technical scope focuses entirely on creating an automated frontend dashboard using Angular and Typescript to retrieve and visualize these existing records, allowing healthcare professionals to draw clear value from the data they provide.

Human-centered design is fundamental to this solution. Since the dashboard is built for busy, exhausted workers to use during brief, high-stress shift handovers, the layout minimizes mental strain and incorporates established design framework standards, including WCAG 2.1 compliance. To promote genuine self-reflection over stressful tracking, the system applies the COM-B and Fogg behavior models to present clear visual triggers within a brief 90-second interaction window. To guide users smoothly through the integration and reflection stages of Li's five-stage personal informatics journey, the interface maximizes the data-ink ratio, ensuring essential health trends are glanceable within five seconds. Furthermore, the dashboard utilizes the Job Demands-Resources model to address the physical activity paradox by explicitly separating high occupational physical strain from restful free-time activities to avoid misinterpreting hard labor as exercise.

The final deliverable consists of fully functional frontend code integrated into GitLab and validating it, successfully raising the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of the dashboard component to TRL 7. By establishing full frontend integration with the existing environment, the software turns idle backend records into a practical, supportive tool for everyday healthcare staff.

Software Interactive Virtual Workspace

Title: Interactive Virtual Workspace Description:

Every enterprise faces a data fragmentation crisis, where vital information is buried under layers of static wikis and isolated databases. AmeXio Group envisioned a bold solution: transforming this fragmented data into a spatial, 3D virtual environment. However, they hit a major technical roadblock. The company lacked the foundational software architecture and 3D framework required to make such a spatial application viable.

That is where my project comes in. My mission wasn't to build a finished full-stack application, but to research, design, and engineer the crucial 3D frontend proof-of-concept (PoC) from scratch, paving the way for future full-stack integration.

Armed with Unity and C#, I took on the role of software architect for this virtual office. I engineered a clean, decoupled client-side architecture designed to handle real-time spatial rendering without building up technical debt. Instead of hardcoding content, I focused on extensibility. I programmed dynamic software mechanics from scratch, developing state-driven NPCs, interactive environmental objects and designed them specifically to act as data-receptors.

The core engineering challenge was preparing the prototype for the future. I structured the software patterns and data-delivery components so that a full-stack development team can easily hook their backend APIs and data pipelines directly into my 3D environment later on.

Ultimately, I solved the problem of technical fragility for AMEXIO. By prioritizing clean code, strict design patterns, and thorough technical documentation, I transformed a conceptual vision into an optimized, maintainable 3D ecosystem. I am handing over a production-ready framework that proves spatial computing is a viable future for AmeXio's internal tooling, fully prepared for its next full-stack evolution.

Software Enhancing Clinician Trust through a Trust-Enabling Framework for Clinical RAG-Based LLM Assistants interfacing with Internal Healthcare Protocols

Title: Enhancing Clinician Trust through a Trust-Enabling Framework for Clinical RAG-Based LLM Assistants interfacing with Internal Healthcare Protocols Description:

Healthcare professionals need fast, reliable access to internal clinical protocols, but finding the right information across large documentation systems can be time-consuming. At the same time, hospitals are increasingly exploring Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Model (LLM) assistants to make protocol knowledge easier to access through natural language questions. However, in a clinical context, a generated answer is not enough. Clinicians must be able to understand where an answer came from, whether the retrieved protocol is appropriate, how reliable the response is, and when the system should be questioned or ignored.

This project addresses that challenge by designing and implementing the Clinician Trust Framework: a trust-enabling layer around a clinical RAG-based LLM assistant for hospital protocols. Instead of focusing only on answer generation, the framework makes AI interactions more transparent, inspectable, traceable, and open to review. It combines source visibility, provenance information, evaluation scores, warning signals, behavioural safeguards, trace logging, monitoring dashboards, and user feedback mechanisms. These elements help clinicians assess whether an answer is grounded, complete, safe, clinically suitable, and reviewable.

The framework was developed through a Design Science Research approach, combining literature review, expert consultation, ethical evaluation, requirements engineering, architecture design, prototyping, and formative validation. A proof-of-concept implementation demonstrates how trust-supporting mechanisms can be operationalized around a working RAG assistant. Validation with a Head Research Nurse and nurses from geriatrics and neurology showed that source visibility, reliability information, explanations, and feedback were recognized as valuable mechanisms, while also revealing the need for clearer source presentation, improved terminology, better interface integration, and stronger answer quality.

The goal of this project is not to make clinicians trust AI unconditionally. Instead, it supports calibrated trust: helping clinicians rely on AI-generated protocol answers when they are well supported, and question, verify, or reject them when evidence is weak, uncertain, or unsafe.

Software Designing a Modular Flight Data Processing System Architecture for a Single European Sky

Title: Designing a Modular Flight Data Processing System Architecture for a Single European Sky Description:

Every day, thousands of aircraft cross invisible borders in the sky, requiring air traffic controllers to constantly hand over control. Currently, this critical coordination relies on aging, monolithic Flight Data Processing Systems. Upgrading these massive systems to meet modern communication standards is notoriously slow and expensive. Furthermore, as civil and military aviation increasingly share the same airspace under the Single European Sky initiative, the need for adaptable, high-availability software has never been greater.
This project addresses this industry-wide bottleneck by transitioning from inflexible legacy infrastructure to a modern, service-oriented architecture. Developed under the guidance of 42 Solutions, this project focuses on designing and prototyping a modular FDPS. By decoupling the communication gateways from the core geospatial logic engine, the system achieves a true "plug-and-play" capability. This means an Air Navigation Service Provider can update a single component without overhauling the entire flight tracking system.
For the Minimum Viable Product, this project successfully demonstrates a stateless, automated cross-border handover between two independent system nodes. It proves that a decentralised approach can maintain the strict data integrity and zero-loss safety requirements dictated by European regulators. This provides a blueprint for scalable, cost-effective, and safe civil-military coordination, ensuring that as European airspace evolves, the software managing it can seamlessly adapt.

Hardware Interfacing Exploring the influence of CUDA Graphs on performance

Title: Exploring the influence of CUDA Graphs on performance Description:

Sorama is a company that works on acoustic cameras. These cameras can detect sound and the direction from which the sound is coming from. The audio and video are combined and a visualization of the source is displayed on the video feed. These cameras can be used in many different ways, for example detecting gas leaks.

All of Sorama's current products use Nvidia hardware for processing the data. In order to write GPU accelerated applications, they use CUDA, which is a platform developed by Nvidia enabling general purpose computing on GPUs. It includes an API that allows developers to program the GPU for parallel computing. It is based on the C programming language with extensions that expose low-level features of the GPU.

The experts from Sorama (who are also the stakeholders) are investigating ways of improving the efficiency of the code in order to improve performance. CUDA Graphs became the main focus. Graphs are a performance optimization feature in CUDA that lets you capture a sequence of GPU operations - like kernel launches, memory copies, and synchronization - and replay them as a single, efficient execution unit. Normally, every kernel launch has CPU overhead, which Graphs can reduce.

The purpose of the project is to investigate Graphs by benchmarking code with and without Graphs. The results should show if Graphs provide any performance benefit over implementation with no Graphs.

Organisational Processes Project MIGA - Client Intake Automation with n8n supported by a Gatekeeper Web Application

Title: Project MIGA - Client Intake Automation with n8n supported by a Gatekeeper Web Application Description:

This project focuses on improving the client intake process at Bierens Incasso Advocaten by introducing a structured and controlled form of automation. Currently, intake employees manually assess incoming debt collection requests based on multiple criteria such as client data, debtor information, claim amount, case information, external credit reports etc. This process is time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to inconsistencies.

The solution developed in this project combines an automated workflow in n8n with a supporting Gatekeeper web application. The n8n workflow automates the validation, enrichment, and preliminary assessment of incoming cases using a rule-based decision model (Accept, Reject, Manual Review). Based on predefined criteria, the system generates a decision suggestion along with a clear explanation of how that decision was reached.

To ensure reliability and maintain human control, all automated decisions are reviewed in the Gatekeeper tool. This interface provides intake employees with a clear overview of cases, detailed information, and the reasoning behind each automated suggestion. Employees then make the final decision, ensuring that complex or sensitive cases are still handled with professional judgment.

The system is designed to be transparent, traceable, and easy to modify. Decision logic is documented and structured in a way that allows future adjustments without disrupting the workflow. Integration with existing systems is achieved through API connections, ensuring compatibility with current processes.

This project demonstrates how automation can significantly improve efficiency and consistency while maintaining control, trust, and flexibility within a legal and data-sensitive environment.

User Interaction Research-Driven UX/UI Redesign of an Industrial Digital Commerce Ecosystem

Title: Research-Driven UX/UI Redesign of an Industrial Digital Commerce Ecosystem Description:

My graduation project focuses on the UX/UI redesign of an industrial e-commerce and B2B platform developed within the Bulgarian digital agency "ValiVal". The project addresses usability and structural challenges identified in the current platform, including inconsistent navigation, unclear information hierarchy, and inefficient user workflows.
The main objective is to create a clearer, more intuitive, and research-driven user experience for both online customers and professional account users. Through systematic UX research methods such as heuristic evaluation, competitor benchmarking, workflow analysis, usability testing, and customer journey mapping, the project investigates how users interact with the platform and where friction or confusion occurs.
Based on the findings, I redesigned key interaction flows including navigation structures, product filtering, product detail pages, and checkout processes. The project also includes the development of a mini design system to improve consistency and scalability across the platform. High-fidelity prototypes and usability-tested interface concepts were created using Figma and Adobe design tools.
A strong focus of the project is reducing cognitive load and improving task efficiency, especially for industrial and B2B users who require fast access to technical products and account-related workflows. The redesign aims to support predictable navigation, simplified decision-making, and a more cohesive digital experience overall.
This project combines academic UX research with practical industry application, demonstrating how user-centered design can improve both usability performance and long-term digital product scalability.

User Interaction Inclusive Human–Chatbot Interaction: User-Centred Design for Mijke the Matchbot

Title: Inclusive Human–Chatbot Interaction: User-Centred Design for Mijke the Matchbot Description:

This project focuses on improving the accessibility and usability of Mijke the Matchbot, an AI powered chatbot developed within the MetMij project at Eindhoven Engine. MetMij is part of Eindhoven Engine’s Inclusive Society focus area and aims to support people with low basic skills (limited proficiency in areas such a reading, writing, maths, and the use of digital tools) by helping them find suitable opportunities, services, or support within the Eindhoven region through simple and friendly digital interactions.

Mijke was originally designed to operate via WhatsApp, a platform that is familiar to many users in the target group. However, Eindhoven Engine is now transitioning the chatbot to a self-hosted platform in order to improve data privacy, security, and control. While users may still start their interaction via WhatsApp, the main conversation will take place on a web-based interface. This transition introduces new challenges, particularly for people with low basic skills, who may experience difficulties when moving between platforms or navigating unfamiliar interfaces.

The goal of this project is to design and improve the user interface and user experience of Mijke’s new web platform, with a strong focus on clarity, accessibility, and ease of use. This is done in iterative design thinking cycles centred around user research, concept development, and usability testing. The project also explores how the transition from WhatsApp can be made as smooth and understandable as possible, while still feeling safe and trusted for the user. It also investigates how users experience the interaction itself and what support they need after a conversation has ended.

By grounding design decisions in user research, frequent testing, and co-creation with the target group, this project aims to contribute to a more inclusive and user-friendly version of Mijke that supports the broader goals of the MetMij initiative and Eindhoven Engine.

User Interaction Supporting Healthy Living Environments Through Scenario Exploration

Title: Supporting Healthy Living Environments Through Scenario Exploration Description:

My graduation project focuses on creating an interactive dashboard for the Healthy Built Environment programme at Eindhoven Engine, in collaboration with the Municipality of Eindhoven. The project builds on an existing system dynamics model made in Vensim, which explores how neighbourhood factors such as green space, noise, accessibility, stress, loneliness, and social cohesion may influence health-related outcomes over time.

The goal of the project is to design and develop a dashboard where users can explore scenarios, compare changes, and gain insight into possible relationships between different neighbourhood factors. Instead of showing only technical model results, the interface aims to make the information more accessible, visual, and useful for conversations with stakeholders.

The project combines UX design, front-end development, data visualisation, and system thinking. It focuses on creating a bridge between complex simulation-based information and a user-friendly interface. The dashboard is not intended as a final decision-making tool, but as a discussion support tool that helps users explore possible directions and better understand the effects of changes in the living environment.

Through this project, I aim to show how interactive digital tools can support conversations about healthier and more liveable neighbourhoods.

Software Indicia Dependency Track version reporting

Title: Indicia Dependency Track version reporting Description:

Indicia is een digitale partner die organisaties ondersteunt bij het ontwikkelen van veilige en data-gedreven softwareoplossingen. Binnen hun managed services maakt Indicia gebruik van Dependency Track, een OWASP-tool die kwetsbaarheden in softwareafhankelijkheden detecteert. Hoewel Dependency Track krachtige analyses biedt, ontbrak het aan structureel inzicht in versieverschillen: welke kwetsbaarheden zijn nieuw bijgekomen, welke zijn opgelost, en welke componenten zijn gewijzigd tussen twee releases?

Dit afstudeerproject richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een rapportagetool die deze vraag beantwoordt. De tool is gebouwd in C# ASP.NET en geïntegreerd in de bestaande ServiceToolkit van Indicia, waarvan de frontend is opgebouwd in React en Vite. De kern van de functionaliteit is een versievergelijking op twee niveaus: op componentniveau wordt bijgehouden of dependencies zijn toegevoegd, verwijderd, bijgewerkt of ongewijzigd gebleven. Op kwetsbaarheidsniveau wordt per gevonden kwetsbaarheid bepaald of deze nieuw, opgelost of ongewijzigd is ten opzichte van een eerdere versie.

Het project is uitgevoerd volgens het DOT-framework, met een aanpak die liep van probleemanalyse en gebruikersonderzoek via interviews met het services team, tot ontwerp, implementatie en validatie. Bestaande tools zoals DefectDojo, Snyk en Power BI zijn geanalyseerd, waaruit bleek dat geen van deze tools voorziet in versievergelijkende, klantgerichte rapportage op basis van Dependency Track data wat de keuze voor een eigen oplossing onderbouwde.

Naast de huidige implementatie is een toekomstgerichte uitbreidingsarchitectuur uitgewerkt met een API Gateway, een DT Adapter als geïsoleerde integratielaag en een lokale database. Deze uitbreiding vermindert de afhankelijkheid van Dependency Track als extern systeem en biedt schaalbaarheid en stabiliteit wanneer Indicia verder groeit.
Het resultaat is een werkende, gedocumenteerde en overdraagbare tool die het services team in staat stelt om versieverschillen snel inzichtelijk te maken en klanten beter te informeren over de staat van hun software.

User Interaction Interwave – Grip op personeelsadministratie.

Title: Interwave – Grip op personeelsadministratie. Description:

Interwave is een uitzendbureau dat bedrijven ondersteunt bij het vinden en inzetten van
geschikte uitzendkrachten. Binnen de organisatie wordt de personeelsadministratie momenteel
afgehandeld via e-mail, telefonische communicatie en WhatsApp. Het gaat hierbij om
personeelsadministratieve processen zoals het registreren van gewerkte uren, verlofaanvragen,
ziekmeldingen, contractbeheer en het verstrekken van loonstroken.
In de beginfase van de organisatie was deze werkwijze voldoende, maar door de groei van het
aantal opdrachtgevers en uitzendkrachten blijkt deze aanpak steeds minder schaalbaar. Dit
zorgt voor een toenemende werkdruk voor de interne organisatie en langere wachttijden voor
opdrachtgevers en uitzendkrachten. Interwave wil een oplossing ontwikkelen voor de verhoogde
werkdruk die ontstaat door de handmatige afhandeling van de personeelsadministratie, waarbij
ook de toegankelijkheid tot informatie voor uitzendkrachten en opdrachtgevers wordt verbeterd.

User Interaction Design & MVP - BDO Case Experience (Sales Platform)

Title: Design & MVP - BDO Case Experience (Sales Platform) Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij BDO, in de afdeling Finance & Digital Services, heb ik gewerkt aan een platform die ingezet gaat worden tijdens salesgesprekken om digitale producten en klantcases overzichtelijk te kunnen tonen. Binnen F&DS was productinformatie verspreid over presentaties, documenten en individuele kennis, waardoor salesmedewerkers veel tijd kwijt waren aan voorbereiding en er inconsistente klantverhalen ontstaan.

Het doel van dit project was dus om een gebruiksvriendelijk, visueel sterk en toekomstbestendig platform te ontwerpen dat salesmedewerkers, product owners en developers kunnen gebruiken ter documentatie van de diensten voor gebruik tijdens salesgesprekken. Het eindresultaat is een concrete MVP waarin de structuur, content en interacties naar voren komen. De MVP is ontworpen in Figma en verder ontwikkeld in React incl. database koppelingen!

De MVP zorgt voor snelle toegang tot relevante diensten en producten, door gebruik te maken van onderbouwde categorieën, tags, en features (zoals custom collecties) die aansluiten op het salesproces. De opdeling en features zijn ontwikkeld vanuit CMD-methodieken zoals interviews, card sortings, usability tests en pitch sessies met stakeholders.

Op deze manier ondersteunt het platform salesmedewerkers in het ontwikkelen van een consistentere salespresentaties en een verdere professionalisering van alle klantinteracties. Daarnaast laat ik gedurende het project zien hoe moderne tools zoals Figma, React en vooral AI (GitHub Copilot) effectief kunnen worden ingezet binnen een design en ontwikkelproces.

User Interaction Scaling Design System Adoption at Vattenfall

Title: Scaling Design System Adoption at Vattenfall Description:

Design systems only work when they are understood. At Vattenfall, coverage was at roughly 8%, with no central place where designers, developers, or product owners could learn how and when to use the system. This graduation project focused on closing that gap: documenting existing components, contributing new ones where gaps appeared, and building the structure that makes the system usable at scale.

The process followed Design Thinking and was guided by the Opportunity Solution Tree framework. Research included interviews with designers and developers, a system audit, benchmarking against mature design systems, and card sorting exercises. These activities produced user personas and prioritized opportunities that shaped every decision that followed.

Supernova was selected and set up as the central documentation platform, structured to be readable by anyone working with the system - designers, developers, and product owners alike. Foundations like typography, colors, and icons were documented alongside components. Governance guidelines were added so teams understand how the system works and how to contribute to it. Accessibility and WCAG requirements were integrated into every component page, making inclusive design a built-in standard. An AI-assisted workflow was also developed to scale documentation output consistently across the growing component library.

By the end of the project, teams across Vattenfall had a single, reliable source of truth for the design system. Coverage went from 8% to 60%, adoption grew as more teams began using components consistently, and the reliance on informal knowledge channels dropped. The design system went from something that existed in the background to something teams could actually build with.

Software Enterprise-Grade Workforce Management & Activity Analytics solution

Title: Enterprise-Grade Workforce Management & Activity Analytics solution Description:

In modern, globally distributed software engineering environments, maintaining operational transparency while ensuring strict compliance with varying international labor regulations remains a critical challenge. Developed for SEEBURGER, a global leader in business integration and cloud services, this project replaces fragmented activity tracking tools with a unified, cloud-native "Single Source of Truth."

The solution transitions a legacy monolithic structure into an enterprise-grade microservices architecture deployed on a Kubernetes cluster. Utilizing an asynchronous, event-driven pattern managed via RabbitMQ, the ecosystem cleanly isolates distinct domains across an API Gateway, Employee Service, Department Service, and a high-throughput Schedule Service.

A core highlight of the system is the implementation of a high-concurrency AccessLog Ingestion Engine. Optimized using modern Java 21 features such as Virtual Threads and immutable Records, this engine seamlessly handles heavy traffic spikes during peak check-in hours without blocking I/O resources.

Furthermore, the system features an Automated Compliance Module driven by a decoupled strategy pattern. This module dynamically analyzes raw automated door-swipe data against regional constraints—such as the unique variations in mandatory break durations and daily rest period —to protect employees from burnout and ensure fair workload distribution.

Architected strictly under "Privacy by Design" principles, the platform rejects intrusive, task-level micromanagement like keystroke logging. Instead, it leverages secure JWT stateless authentication to deliver high-level, aggregate workforce metrics to managers via a responsive Angular dashboard. The resulting architecture ensures 99.9% operational availability and provides an audit-ready compliance tracking mechanism tailored to the standards of a premier enterprise cloud integration environment.

Infrastructure The Next-Generation Internet: How SCION Improves Internet Connectivity and Services Through a New Internet Architecture

Title: The Next-Generation Internet: How SCION Improves Internet Connectivity and Services Through a New Internet Architecture Description:

The internet has become an essential part of daily life. It supports communication between people and systems and forms the backbone of modern society. However, its core routing system has remained largely unchanged for decades.

At the center of today’s internet is the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which exchanges routing information based on mutual trust. While this has enabled global scalability, it also introduces structural limitations. The architectural layer is often overlooked in IT security, even though it plays a key role in overall system security. Data can take unpredictable paths, routing lacks transparency, and failures or malicious behaviour can impact connectivity and dependent services.

SCION (Scalability, Control and Isolation On Next-generation Networks) is a next-generation internet architecture that redesigns how the internet is structured. Instead of relying on implicit trust, SCION introduces explicit path control, network isolation, and separation of routing responsibilities. This enables traffic to follow verified paths and increases control over data transmission.

By redesigning the internet architecture at its foundation, SCION aims to improve reliability, security, and control over connectivity. These improvements can have a direct impact on the services provided by organizations and companies, especially in terms of more stable and secure communication.

Within this research, the focus is on evaluating these improvements in a real-world context. A key focus is placed on the services and infrastructure provided by SURF to assess the potential added value of SCION and its contribution to existing research and education services. This includes aspects such as connectivity reliability, service continuity, and secure access.

This raises the central question: what added value could SCION bring to SURF’s services, and what could this mean for the future of internet connectivity?

Software SkyPanel & Web-bunker: An Internal Portal and Multi-Tenant AI Incubator for a Digital Marketing Agency

Title: SkyPanel & Web-bunker: An Internal Portal and Multi-Tenant AI Incubator for a Digital Marketing Agency Description:

A Dutch digital marketing agency of ~40 employees whose daily operations had grown across disconnected systems: SEO reports in a standalone dashboard, backlink tools as local Python scripts, client data split between Excel, Teamleader CRM, Google Docs, a Dropbox with a size of 5TB, and onboarding knowledge passed on verbally. This graduation project addresses that fragmentation by delivering two production systems.

SkyPanel is a modular-monolith internal portal built with Next.js, Express, Prisma and MySQL, deployed on a hardened VPS with defense-in-depth across four layers. It centralizes client management, the company domain portfolio, HR, employee onboarding, five major software-integrations and team operations behind a JWT + RBAC access model.

The Web Bunker is a multi-tenant developer environment that lets six non-developer marketers prompt Claude Code, build small web apps and share live URLs without touching Docker, Nginx or a Linux shell. It runs six isolated Docker seats behind a self-built PHP reverse proxy with port-range validation, and a PWA wrapping Claude Code over tmux + WebSocket.

Beyond being infrastructure, the Web-bunker is the research instrument for the project's central question: how do you discover real automation needs in an SME? It functions as an incubator where employees prototype their own automations, surfacing needs that classical stakeholder interviews could not capture. Validated prototypes are rebuilt production-grade inside SkyPanel.

Both systems are live in daily use and are proving that bottom-up experimentation in an incubator complements rather than replaces classical requirements gathering.

Infrastructure Uitbreiding van de CyberScanner voor meer inzicht in het aanvalsoppervlak

Title: Uitbreiding van de CyberScanner voor meer inzicht in het aanvalsoppervlak Description:

In dit afstudeerproject onderzoek ik hoe de CyberScanner van Cyber Cloud kan worden uitgebreid om meer inzicht te geven in het externe aanvalsoppervlak van organisaties. De CyberScanner heeft de afgelopen periode vooral onderhoud ondergaan en is functioneel weinig uitgebreid. Tegelijkertijd zorgen snelle ontwikkelingen binnen cybersecurity en ICT ervoor dat het aantal relevante assets binnen het externe aanvalsoppervlak blijft toenemen. De huidige CyberScanner sluit nog niet volledig aan op de complexiteit en omvang van een modern extern attack surface.

Het onderzoek richt zich eerst op de vraag welke onderdelen een modern extern attack surface anno 2026 omvat en welke daarvan momenteel ontbreken of niet volledig worden gedetecteerd door de CyberScanner. Hiervoor worden meerdere onderzoeksmethoden gecombineerd, zoals literatuuronderzoek, competitive analysis, documentanalyse, systeemtests en gap analysis. Op basis daarvan wordt bepaald welke uitbreidingen de meeste toegevoegde waarde hebben en technisch haalbaar zijn.

Als praktisch resultaat wordt een Proof of Concept ontwikkeld voor twee geselecteerde uitbreidingen. Hiermee wordt aangetoond hoe deze functionaliteiten technisch kunnen worden uitgewerkt en in hoeverre zij bijdragen aan een completer en toekomstbestendiger beeld van het externe aanvalsoppervlak. Het eindresultaat van dit project brengt niet alleen in kaart waar de huidige CyberScanner tekortschiet, maar levert ook een concreet advies en een eerste technische uitwerking voor verdere ontwikkeling op.

Software Model Context Protocol Integration Architecture for Enterprise System Access

Title: Model Context Protocol Integration Architecture for Enterprise System Access Description:

CY2 IT Services is an IT company that specializes in implementing, extending, and supporting Student Information Systems (SIS) based on Oracle’s PeopleSoft software. Their customers are higher education institutions worldwide, which rely on PeopleSoft Campus Solutions to manage student data. Connecting AI chatbots to that data has always required custom, time-consuming development for each new feature. This project’s objective is to address that issue.

The MCP Integration Layer is a reusable back-end service that serves as an intermediary between Large Language Model (LLM) chatbots and external systems such as PeopleSoft. The layer uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a standard communication protocol. Instead of hardcoding integration logic for every new feature, the layer makes use of existing PeopleSoft Query Access Service (QAS) operations to expose PeopleSoft Queries as dynamically registered MCP tools. As a result, Large Language Models can recognize available tools, find the most suitable ones for the use case and invoke them.

This project covers several key innovations. On initialization of a new user session, the MCP tools are automatically constructed from PeopleSoft Query metadata - new capabilities become available immediately, without additional development. All requests enforce PeopleSoft native authorization mechanisms, ensuring users can only access resources they are authorized to see. Administrators have the capabilities to manage exposed integrations (tools) through configuration alone, without updating the codebase.

The system maintains a strict separation between the Model Context Protocol logic and code specific to external systems. This means that the solution is not tied to PeopleSoft. Additional systems can be added through new adapter services, leaving the core unchanged. This, combined with MCP compliance, makes the system reusable across MCP-compatible AI clients and extensible to other systems beyond PeopleSoft.

Organisational Processes How can Saint‑Gobain Benelux improve data quality in a structured way to ensure reliable customer data for operational processes and future MDM integration?

Title: How can Saint‑Gobain Benelux improve data quality in a structured way to ensure reliable customer data for operational processes and future MDM integration? Description:

During my graduation project at Saint‑Gobain Benelux, I focus on improving the quality of customer and contact data within Salesforce, in preparation for a future centralized Master Data Management (MDM) solution.
The project starts with analyzing the current data environment and understanding how customer data is created, managed, and used across systems such as Salesforce and SAP. Based on these insights, I developed a structured data quality approach aimed at creating reliable, complete, and consistent customer data.
The core deliverable of this project is a data quality plan that defines improvements in areas such as customer creation processes, validation rules, data controls, data cleaning, and data enrichment
In addition, I designed a Power BI dashboard that provides clear and continuous insight into the quality of customer data. The dashboard highlights data completeness and consistency and includes an “Action Required” section, which allows users to directly identify and correct records that need improvement.
The final result is a practical combination of a data quality plan and a dashboard solution, enabling the organization not only to improve data quality but also to monitor and maintain it over time. This supports daily operations and prepares the organization for a successful implementation of a centralized MDM solution.

Software Evaluatie van Retrieval-Architecturen voor Betrouwbare RAG-Systemen

Title: Evaluatie van Retrieval-Architecturen voor Betrouwbare RAG-Systemen Description:

Dit afstudeerproject onderzoekt hoe klassieke en moderne retrievaltechnieken voor Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-systemen kunnen verbeteren voor publieke kennisbanken en supportplatformen. Het onderzoek werd uitgevoerd binnen Omines, een softwarebedrijf gespecialiseerd in het bouwen webapplicaties en informatiesystemen.

Het project richt zich specifiek op de retrievalcomponent van RAG-systemen. Het cruciale proces dat verantwoordelijk is voor het ophalen van relevante data voordat een antwoord wordt gegenereerd door een Large Language Model (LLM). Omdat de kwaliteit direct invloed heeft op de betrouwbaarheid van het antwoorden, is er onderzocht hoe verschillende retrieval-architecturen de prestaties en praktische bruikbaarheid beïnvloeden.

Meerdere technieken zijn geïmplementeerd en gebenchmarkt. Hieronder valt traditionele BM25-retrieval, dense vector retrieval, reranking-methoden, query-optimalisatiestrategieën en graph-based retrieval zoals LinearRAG en GraphRAG. Naast het vergelijken van retrievalkwaliteit wordt er ook onderzocht naar de praktische trade-offs tussen deze implementaties, waaronder latency, onderhoudbaarheid en toepasbaarheid binnen specifieke usecases.

Om deze technieken te evalueren, werd gebruikgemaakt van zowel publieke BEIR-benchmarkdatasets als synthetisch gegenereerde datasets. Een custom evaluatie-workflow is ontwikkeld om automatisch realistische retrieval-datasets te synthetiseren voor domeinspecifieke corpora. Hiermee kunnen retrieval-systemen gebenchmarkt worden, zelfs wanneer handmatig gelabelde data niet beschikbaar is. Hierdoor kunnen retrieval-architecturen geëvalueerd worden onder verschillende queryscenario’s, gebaseerd op verschillende retrievalbehoeften.

Het project bestaat uit experimentele benchmarking waaruit een praktische analyse wordt gemaakt over welke retrieval-architecturen het meest geschikt zijn voor verschillende scenario's. Het uiteindelijke resultaat is een retrieval-evaluatie- en beslissingsframework dat Omines helpt bij het nemen van beslissingen over de inzet van retrieval-systemen en RAG-applicaties binnen realistische omgevingen.

Hardware Interfacing Feasibility study of the Chemspeed device

Title: Feasibility study of the Chemspeed device Description:

The Fontys Robot Lab is part of a multi-university initiative to build an automated chemistry lab in which different instruments can be controlled through a single, standardised protocol called SiLA 2. The Chemspeed FLEX AUTOPLANT, a robotic chemistry workstation already present in the lab, is one of the devices the lab wants to bring into this setup, but the device runs on proprietary software and has so far been used in isolation.
This graduation project looks at whether and how the Chemspeed FLEX AUTOPLANT can be integrated into the lab's SiLA 2 infrastructure. The project is set up as a feasibility study: rather than delivering a finished product, the aim is to figure out which integration paths actually work, which device functions can sensibly be exposed, and what technical and safety constraints need to be respected.
The work focuses on Chemspeed's beta Command REST API, which is tested and then wrapped in a small SiLA 2 server written in Python. A colorimetric Ellman's assay is used as a demo workflow to show that the integration works end-to-end. Security considerations are also discussed, since the workstation is currently air-gapped and operates in a chemical-laboratory environment.
The result is a recommendation on the most promising integration path together with a working proof-of-concept SiLA 2 server, supporting documentation, and an overview of issues that future work will need to address.

Organisational Processes Building a Consolidated Consumer Care Data Lake for Advanced Analytics and Performance Modeling

Title: Building a Consolidated Consumer Care Data Lake for Advanced Analytics and Performance Modeling Description:

Versuni is an international home appliances company headquartered in Amsterdam, operating under brands including Philips, Saeco, and Gaggia. The Consumer Engagement team within its Global Marketing Department monitors consumer care performance across markets, but the data behind this work was scattered across disconnected systems, requiring significant manual effort before any analysis could begin.

This project addressed that by designing and implementing a consolidated data lake in Databricks. The work spanned the full project lifecycle, from mapping existing data sources and migration processes, to building automated data pipelines that deliver business-ready datasets, to establishing a governance framework that ensures the workspace is managed consistently going forward.

The result is a centralized data lake that gives the Consumer Engagement team reliable, up-to-date access to the data they need, reducing manual effort and laying the foundation for more advanced analytics going forward.

Software Design and Implementation of a Camera Acquisition Simulation System for Transmission Electron Microscopy

Title: Design and Implementation of a Camera Acquisition Simulation System for Transmission Electron Microscopy Description:

This project focuses on the design and implementation of a camera acquisition simulation system for Transmission Electron Microscopy software at Thermo Fisher Scientific. Existing instrument simulations were implemented separately and lacked abstraction consistency and coordinated behavior, limiting extensibility and realistic testing workflows. To address this, a centralized simulation architecture was developed to unify instrument simulations through a shared abstraction layer, enabling coordinated simulation of microscope components and sample-driven image generation without requiring physical microscope hardware. The implemented camera acquisition simulation allows simulated sample properties to directly influence generated microscope images, enabling more realistic and reproducible testing scenarios.

Infrastructure Graph-Based Threat Detection and Visualization for Industrial Control Systems

Title: Graph-Based Threat Detection and Visualization for Industrial Control Systems Description:

This graduation project focuses on building an advanced monitoring and threat analysis platform for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) environments.

Modern industrial networks often struggle with limited visibility into how systems communicate, how devices interact, and where potential security risks may exist. Critical components such as PLCs, HMIs, engineering workstations, and monitoring systems constantly exchange data, but detecting abnormal behavior or identifying possible attack paths remains a major challenge. The goal of this project is to improve visibility and situational awareness in industrial environments through passive network monitoring, anomaly detection, and interactive graph-based visualization.

The platform converts industrial network traffic into dynamic graphs that clearly show communication flows, device relationships, protocol usage, and potential threat indicators. Users can explore the network through different visualization modes, including Purdue-level network structures, interactive free-form graphs, and threat-focused views that highlight suspicious or unusual communication patterns.

To validate the platform, the project uses a realistic industrial simulation environment featuring a simulated chemical plant, industrial protocols, segmented OT networks, and programmable logic controllers. Both normal operational scenarios and simulated cyberattacks are used to test how effectively the platform can detect anomalous or potentially malicious activity.

This project combines cybersecurity, OT protocol analysis, software engineering, graph intelligence, and industrial network monitoring to explore new ways of improving visibility, security analysis, and defensive capabilities within critical infrastructure environments.

Hardware Interfacing Conceptontwikkeling van een autonoom tilsysteem voor voertuigtransport

Title: Conceptontwikkeling van een autonoom tilsysteem voor voertuigtransport Description:

De Flexti Automover richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een compacte robot die auto’s in reconditioneringscentra veilig en autonoom kan optillen en verplaatsen, zodat medewerkers minder hoeven te rijden, slepen of manoeuvreren in krappe ruimtes en over het bedrijfsterrein. In deze reconditioneringscentra worden continue auto's verplaatst tussen verschillende processen zoals: monteurs, wasstraat, fotostudio of de distributie lanes.

Onze ontwikkeling draait om het combineren van een betrouwbaar hefmechanisme met voertuigopmeting (zodat de robot verschillende voertuigtypes correct kan positioneren) en obstakelvermijding.

Daarnaast is de Automover een groene oplossing. Onze robot is volledig elektrisch en voert de verplaatsing uit zonder dat er een auto hoeft te draaien of stationair hoeft te lopen. Daardoor ontstaat er tijdens het interne verplaatsen geen uitstoot van de auto. Dit is niet alleen beter voor het klimaat, maar ook voor de medewerkers die binnen in de werkplaatsen en showrooms aan het werk zijn.

User Interaction Optimizing User Retention and Monetization through Behavioral UX and Scalable Design Systems at xHeal

Title: Optimizing User Retention and Monetization through Behavioral UX and Scalable Design Systems at xHeal Description:

xHeal is a health-technology application that generates personalized daily routines for people managing chronic conditions and general audience, based on their medical, physical, mental,nutrition and lifestyle data. The product promises up to a 25% reduction in flare-ups for users who follow their routine during the first two weeks. However, it faces a core problem: users complete onboarding but gradually disengage. The app behaves like a medical archive that stores data, rather than a daily companion that actively supports people when motivation drops.My graduation project investigates how emotional design and dynamic routine adaptation can improve daily engagement and long-term routine adherence for these users. The main research question is: How can emotional design and adaptive routines improve proactive engagement and adherence for xHeal users managing chronic inflammations?
The research followed the Double Diamond framework. In the Discover phase, I ran surveys, interviews with people managing chronic conditions, a competitor analysis, literature study grounded in behavioral and cultural theory and a small ethnic analysis. In Define, I synthesized findings into a persona, prioritized features, and selected a design direction through a structured brainstorming process. In Develop, I built and tested various onboarding prototype variants, conducted condition-specific interviews, validated findings with medical and fitness professionals, and ran a global survey to test the concept at scale.
The research consistently shows that people do not disengage from a lack of knowledge - they disengage because real life interrupts them, and because guilt, stress, and isolation follow a missed day. The resulting design direction is a mascot-based companion(that ideally grows with the user's progress), adapts its tone to each user's emotional personality, offering encouragement, lighter alternatives, and condition-aware support rather than rewards or pressure, which impacts the whole ecosystem of the experience throughout the application.

User Interaction Ethnico Re-design

Title: Ethnico Re-design Description:

Ethnico is a B2B marketplace for the ethnic food sector, connecting manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers on a single platform. The platform's core flow runs from product creation by suppliers all the way through to purchase by retailers. Currently, this process is fragmented and hard to navigate, to the point where an extensive external knowledge base was built just to help users get through it. Retailers, often one-person operations, are the last step in this chain and the group where adoption is still lagging.

This graduation project, carried out at Moonly Software, sets out to understand why the platform is difficult to use and to propose concrete improvements. The starting point is a zero measurement: a structured usability test of the current platform in which participants complete real tasks while thinking aloud, rating each task afterwards using the Single Ease Question (SEQ). The findings from this study feed directly into an iterative design process, producing an interactive Laravel prototype. A follow-up test round using the same tasks makes it possible to compare SEQ scores and see whether things have actually gotten easier.

The project also includes a look at the front-end codebase, where issues like code duplication and inconsistent styling make the platform harder to maintain and build on.
The end result is an advisory plan with concrete design and architecture recommendations, supported by a working prototype.
The project combines user research, iterative design, and a technical analysis of the existing codebase to produce recommendations that are grounded in observed behaviour rather than assumptions.

Software ASONA: AI-Powered Optimisation & Analysis of Warehouse System Simulation

Title: ASONA: AI-Powered Optimisation & Analysis of Warehouse System Simulation Description:

ADAPTO is a shuttle-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) used in high-performance warehouses. Running simulations for ADAPTO involves configuring many parameters, such as lift types, aisle layouts, sequencing strategies, and throughput targets. Interpreting results and identifying the right adjustments typically requires specialist knowledge, making the process time-consuming and difficult to scale.

This project introduces ASONA (ADAPTO Simulation Optimisation and Analysis), a system I designed to support simulation analysis through AI-driven advisory. ASONA is integrated into the existing ADAPTO simulation platform at Vanderlande and uses a Large Language Model combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation to analyse simulation outputs, detect bottlenecks and provide structured documentation-based recommendations.

The system evaluates key aspects such as lift utilisation, cross-aisle traffic, sequencing efficiency, and shuttle distribution in a logical sequence. Users can interact with ASONA through natural language queries and receive context-aware responses grounded in internal knowledge.

In addition, ASONA includes an automated optimisation loop where users define a performance goal, after which the system iteratively analyses results, suggests configuration changes and re-evaluates outcomes.

This project reduces reliance on specialist knowledge, improves accessibility of simulation insights and assists in optimisation for both simulation engineers and sales teams working on warehouse system design.

Infrastructure Online Werkplek e-Quest

Title: Online Werkplek e-Quest Description:

Nu organisaties steeds vaker afhankelijk worden van Amerikaanse cloudleveranciers zoals Microsoft Azure, AWS en Google Cloud, groeit tegelijkertijd de behoefte aan meer controle over data, infrastructuur en digitale onafhankelijkheid. Wetgeving zoals de Amerikaanse CLOUD Act zorgt ervoor dat steeds meer bedrijven kritisch kijken naar waar hun data zich bevindt, en wie er uiteindelijk toegang toe kan krijgen.

Binnen e-Quest wordt daarom gewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van een modern Europees cloudplatform waarbij betrouwbaarheid, schaalbaarheid en datasoevereiniteit centraal staan. Het project richt zich op het ontwerpen van een toekomstbestendige cloudomgeving die organisaties een alternatief biedt voor traditionele publieke cloudplatformen, zonder in te leveren op flexibiliteit of innovatie.

De oplossing wordt opgebouwd over de eigen datacenterlocaties van e-Quest in Helmond en Veghel en moet volledig geo-redundant functioneren. Hierdoor blijft dienstverlening beschikbaar, zelfs wanneer één locatie uitvalt. Daarnaast staat centraal beheer centraal binnen het ontwerp, zodat de volledige omgeving efficiënt beheerd, gemonitord en uitgebreid kan worden vanuit één uniforme beheerstructuur.

Binnen het platform wordt gewerkt met strikt gescheiden tenants, waardoor organisaties volledig geïsoleerd van elkaar kunnen opereren binnen dezelfde infrastructuur. De omgeving combineert moderne infrastructuurtechnologieën, automatisering en cloud-native principes om een veilig en flexibel platform te realiseren voor hosting en managed services.

Met dit project zet e-Quest een stap richting een onafhankelijk cloudplatform dat aansluit op de groeiende vraag naar veilige, transparante en lokaal beheerde cloudoplossingen in een wereld waarin digitale autonomie steeds belangrijker wordt.

Software Procedurally populating unpredictable levels using random placement with minimized terrain alterations

Title: Procedurally populating unpredictable levels using random placement with minimized terrain alterations Description:

As a small group of a students, we are developing a four-player co-operative multiplayer game. This is a third-person multiplayer game with shooter elements where the players explore caves, defeat enemies and rescue "gremlins". With the levels getting more difficult as the game goes on, players can use their obtained resources to get stronger and different weapons. Through utilizing procedurally generated levels with different POI (Points of Interests such as camps and buildings) spawning, players can keep playing the game repeatedly without getting bored of having to play through the same levels again and again.
My main project/challenge involves utilizing the generated levels to randomly allocate and spawn POIs in a way that looks natural and doesn't clash with surrounding areas. Additionally, research was done regarding ways of making the POIs themselves more interesting from a gameplay and narrative standpoint. Making sure that the systems are optimized is a priority due to this taking place every time the game is played. Different systems in addition to the default "random" spawning have also been researched and worked on, such as having two "linked" POIs spawn within a certain distance of each other to create a system which can later be used for narrative/puzzle-based POIs.

Software An RAG-based chat assistant for analyzing sensitive personnel files

Title: An RAG-based chat assistant for analyzing sensitive personnel files Description:

Voor HR-consultants kan het doorzoeken van personeelsdossiers een enorm tijdrovend proces zijn. Om de relevante informatie op te sporen moeten er vaak verschillende webpagina's en documenten op verschillende plekken doorgespit worden. Buiten hoe langdradig dit proces kan voelen, is het daarnaast ook nog een gevoelige plek voor menselijke fouten en gemiste details. Dit proces stroomlijnen voor het interne productieteam vormt de kern van mijn afstudeerproject bij Zekerheyd.

Hoewel een eerste ingeving misschien zou zijn om vragen direct bij ChatGPT of een andere LLM neer te leggen, is dit voor Zekerheyd absoluut geen optie. Vanwege de gevoelige persoonsgegevens die in de dossiers langskomen vereisen zij een oplossing op maat die zich houdt aan de strengste privacywetten op Nederlands en Europees niveau.
Het eindresultaat is een AI-assistent die vragen zelfstandig interpreteert en via Retrieval Augmented Generation gericht door personeelsdossiers zoekt naar de cruciale informatiepunten. Op basis van die gevonden informatie kan de assistent antwoorden formuleren en zelfs een bronnenlijst aanleveren ter verificatie.

Hardware Interfacing Intelligente toegang tot industriële procesdata via een AI-gedreven chatinterface

Title: Intelligente toegang tot industriële procesdata via een AI-gedreven chatinterface Description:

Stel je voor dat je als operator of engineer gewoon in je eigen taal vragen kunt stellen aan je productiedata, zonder dashboards te hoeven doorzoeken of rapporten te lezen. Precies dat is waar dit project over gaat.

Tijdens mijn afstudeerproject bij Actemium onderzoek ik hoe het Model Context Protocol (MCP) kan worden ingezet als brug tussen AI-modellen en industriële proces- en batchdata. MCP is een relatief nieuw protocol dat het mogelijk maakt om AI-assistenten op een gestructureerde en gecontroleerde manier toegang te geven tot externe databronnen, in dit geval de procesdata van een industriële Process cell binnen het Edulab van Actemium.

Het centrale eindproduct van dit project is een AI-chatinterface waarmee gebruikers in natuurlijke taal vragen kunnen stellen over batchprestaties, receptvergelijkingen en procesgedrag. Denk aan vragen als: "Welke batch had de kortste cyclustijd afgelopen week?" of "Welk recept presteert het meest consistent?" De AI haalt via MCP de benodigde data op uit de onderliggende database en geeft direct een begrijpelijk antwoord terug.

Naast de chatinterface wordt een data-architectuur ontworpen als fundament voor deze oplossing, en wordt verkennend onderzoek gedaan naar AI- en machine learning-modellen voor batchoptimalisatie.
Het project sluit aan bij actuele ontwikkelingen binnen Smart Industry en laat zien hoe moderne AI-technologie praktisch toepasbaar is in industriële omgevingen.

Ben je geïnteresseerd in AI, industriële automatisering of de toekomst van data-gedreven produceren? Dan is deze presentatie iets voor jou.

Infrastructure ThreatScout: Threat modeling supported by AI

Title: ThreatScout: Threat modeling supported by AI Description:

ThreatScout is a Proof-of-Concept application within Project ARGUS, my graduation project, that explores how generative AI can support software threat modeling. The goal is to help software and system architects quickly create a useful first risk assessment as input for the threat modeling process.

As part of my internship, I designed and developed ThreatScout to support the current quick scan process, which uses the OWASP Top 10 Most Critical Web Application Security Risks to perform a risk assessment. ThreatScout allows the user to provide project context, such as architectural diagrams and transcript-like textual project descriptions. Based on this input, the application uses Microsoft Foundry for AI inference to generate a risk assessment containing potential security risks and mitigation recommendations.

ThreatScout follows a human-in-the-loop approach: the AI can suggest risks and mitigations, but the user remains responsible for reviewing and refining the results. After generating an assessment, users can continue the conversation with the AI agent to clarify the results or update the mitigations. ThreatScout is designed as a local-first application with a modular frontend, intermediate service and backend, making it easier to add future extensions such as additional threat modeling methods, improved explainability and traceability or optional threat intelligence integrations.

Software Software Internship – Microscope Service Tool

Title: Software Internship – Microscope Service Tool Description:

My graduation project is carried out at Thermo Fisher Scientific within the Motion Software / IVIS department. The project focuses on the development, integration, and validation of the new IVIS Service Tool, which is intended to replace the legacy TAD (Test and Diagnostic) tool used for the Integrated Vibration Isolation System in electron microscopes.

IVIS is a critical subsystem that helps maintain high-resolution imaging by compensating for environmental vibrations. Because of the transition from the older mdlmotion2 architecture to mdlmotion3, the legacy TAD tool is no longer suitable and must be replaced by a modern solution that fits current software architecture and UX standards.

The goal of my project is to help implement a reliable and functional IVIS Service Tool that can communicate with the real controller, display live controller and axis data, support service operations, and behave correctly in real microscope environments. My work includes implementing features such as live data panels, state handling, and Basic Tab functionality, as well as validating the tool with real hardware, investigating backend and event-related issues, and ensuring the system is robust enough for practical use by engineers and service stakeholders.

The project is carried out in a real industrial context and combines software engineering, system integration, validation, and collaboration with multiple stakeholders. The final objective is to contribute to a modern, maintainable, and reliable service tool that supports the ongoing modernization of Thermo Fisher’s motion software systems.

User Interaction The Letter Gamemode Project

Title: The Letter Gamemode Project Description:

Dit afstudeer project gaat over het maken van een gamemode toevoeging op het spel The Letter van DPSTBE. Het doel van The Letter en deze gamemode is om te faciliteren bij het overkomen van communicatie kloven die zich voortdoen bij o.a. verschillende communicatie stijlen, neuro divergente communicatie (double empathy problem) en information overload.
Het project richt zich vooral op concepting & onderzoek, met een gerealiseerd prototype om belangrijke onderdelen van het concept & de onderzoeksdoelen te weergeven zodat dit op later moment gerealiseerd kan worden.
Het doel van de gamemode is om een toevoeging te bieden aan het spel The Letter om zo een optie te creëren die op een andere herspeelbare wijze hetzelfde maatschappelijke doel faciliteert.
Dit met de reden dat enerzijds The Letter een lineair spel zal worden, (een spel dat je maar eenmalig kan ervaren) waar dit dus een manier zal zijn om op een andere wijze het herspeelbaar te kunnen spelen. En anderzijds met de reden dat er meerwaarde gevonden kan worden in het ontdekken op wat voor een andere manieren een gameplay concept over dit maatschappelijk probleem gemaakt zou kunnen worden. O.a. aangezien de huidige gameplay loop van The Letter tegen het probleem stuit dat veel mensen het nog niet leuk genoeg vinden.
Na een uitbundig concepting process is het eind resultaat dat het een multiplayer focused gamemode zal zijn. Met een gameplay combinatie van sterke communicatie tussen spelers & precisie werk rondom het bouwen van verdedigingsraketten. Met een hoge urgentie context waar jij en je team je moeten verdedigen tegen inkomende vijandige raketten d.m.v. verdedigingsraketten.

User Interaction Improving User Experience Through Website Redesign

Title: Improving User Experience Through Website Redesign Description:

WildWoozt is an organisation in Eindhoven that offers after-school and holiday activities for children aged 4 to 12. Their mission is to encourage children to play outside, be active, develop social skills, and spend less time on screens.

The goal of this graduation project is to redesign the WildWoozt website to improve the experience for both parents and potential employees. The current website contains valuable information, but research showed that the structure, navigation, and communication are not always clear for users. Parents sometimes struggle to quickly find practical information, while potential employees do not get a strong understanding of what it is like to work at WildWoozt.

The project focuses on improving usability, communication, trust, and engagement through UX research and validation. Methods such as heuristic evaluation, competitive analysis, customer journey mapping, personas, surveys, interviews, and usability testing are used to better understand user needs and identify pain points.

Based on these insights, several redesigned concepts and interactive prototypes were created in Figma. New features include an interactive location map, a “Book a Tour” feature, clearer navigation, improved pricing structure, and a redesigned “Working at WildWoozt” section with a digital “day in the life” experience.

The project demonstrates how research, validation, and design decisions can be combined to create a more user-centered digital experience.

Software Investigate long term choice for best mobile framework (kotlin/xamarin/react native) and build a prototype for a crypto app.

Title: Investigate long term choice for best mobile framework (kotlin/xamarin/react native) and build a prototype for a crypto app. Description:

P2Pay is a mobile crypto payment application developed as part of my graduation internship project at Virge B.V. The project focuses on creating a non-custodial payment system that allows users to make contactless payments in hospitality environments, such as bars, using XRP on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
The application is being developed using React Native for the mobile frontend and FastAPI for the backend. The system includes XRPL wallet integration, QR/NFC-based payment flows, transaction verification, and communication between customer and merchant applications.
As part of the research, I compared React Native, Kotlin Multiplatform, and .NET MAUI to determine which mobile framework best fits the project requirements for maintainability, performance, development speed, and device feature access such as QR scanning and NFC.
The project follows an MVP-first approach, focusing on validating the core payment flow and technical feasibility before expanding toward a more production-oriented solution. Emphasis is placed on maintainability, scalability, security, and user experience.

Software Migration & Integration Engineer (Obsurv Software)

Title: Migration & Integration Engineer (Obsurv Software) Description:

Obsurv is an asset management system, developed by Sweco Nederland, that municipalities use to manage public space assets, like roads, sewage systems, green spaces, etc. It handles everything from object management and inspections to maintenance planning and budgeting.
The problem is a dual-migration conflict. Sewage is still moving from a legacy desktop application called RioGl into the Obsurv Riolering module, while at the same time the Riolering module itself is being made obsolete by the new platform they working. This leaves sewage disconnected from the rest of the platform. Municipalities cannot coordinate sewage maintenance with road resurfacing in the same street, which defeats the entire purpose of having a unified system.
This graduation project solves that for the transition period. The result is ObsurvSync: a bidirectional .NET 10 Worker Service that delta-syncs sewage objects every 30 seconds between the Riolering module and the Flexibele Vakdiscipline GWSW module in Obsurv, using Oracle REST Data Services as the integration layer. Pipes, nodes, and groups totalling nearly 179,000 objects are continuously synchronised so they appear in the integral object list alongside roads and green spaces. A feedback loop prevention mechanism ensures the sync does not trigger itself in a cycle. A Blazor monitoring dashboard provides live visibility into sync health, object state, and field mapping.
The project covers requirements analysis through structured stakeholder interviews, system architecture design, ORDS endpoint design, data transformation and validation, sync state management, and production handover documentation.

Software Virtual Human

Title: Virtual Human Description:

This project builds a proof‑of‑concept virtual human for older adults in Midden‑Brabant. The goal is to help them think about and prepare for possible future care needs. The project delivers one working virtual human that runs in real time, can speak clearly, understand simple health‑related questions, and show basic facial expressions and gestures. The focus is on making conversations feel natural and easy to follow, especially for people with low health literacy.

The implementation aims to recreate the type of interaction that platforms like Convai offer, but without relying on their systems. Instead, the required abilities are built directly into the orchestration layer of the Virtual Human platform. This includes speaking through a microphone, generating audio output, remembering parts of the conversation, and animating the character so it behaves in a familiar and trustworthy way. These are basic abilities a normal person has, and the orchestrator must support them so the virtual human can function as a believable conversation partner. Existing Fontys ICT components are used where possible, and new functionality is added only when needed for this use case.

The project is part of a larger collaboration with several partners, including Fontys lectoraten, BUas, Yonder, Tilburg University and Watsnjoe. Each partner works on different parts of the Virtual Human platform, and knowledge is shared to keep all teams aligned. Collaboration takes place with a Psychology teacher for the specific use case, with Fontys ICT for technical components, and with researchers who contribute expertise and help shape the implementation. This cooperation ensures that the prototype fits both the technical goals of the platform and the needs of the target group.

Organisational Processes Feasibility Study for Selecting and Validating a CMMS Solution for JD Sports Fashion

Title: Feasibility Study for Selecting and Validating a CMMS Solution for JD Sports Fashion Description:

My graduation project focuses on how to improve the maintenance management inside JD Sports Fashion by evaluating and validating Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) solutions. The project addresses operational challenges such as fragmented communication, not completed work order registration, limited KPI visibility, and unreliable maintenance data.

Using the DOT research framework, the project including IST/SOLL process analysis, GAP analysis, stakeholder interviews, maintenance data modelling, KPI evaluation, and a weighted decision matrix to help choosing which CMMS solution best supports the needs of JD sports.

A very important part of making the decision for the project was the prototype and pilot validation phase, where the shortlisted CMMS systems such as MaintainX and Limble were configured and tested in realistic warehouse scenarios. During this phase, I led the complete testing and validation process, including stakeholder coordination, systems configuration, KPI validation, scenario-based testing, and collaboration with vendors.

The pilot phase was focused on validating workflows such as work order handling, preventive maintenance, spare parts registration, dashboards, and KPI monitoring including MTTR, downtime, and response times. By combining technical testing with operational feedback from technicians, planners, and management, the project identified which CMMS solution best aligns with the operational, technical, and strategic needs of JD Sports Fashion.

The result is a feasibility and advisory report supported by prototypes and recommendations for a scalable and data-driven maintenance environment.

Infrastructure Bypassing EDR Detection Through Adaptation of Active Directory Penetration Testing Tools

Title: Bypassing EDR Detection Through Adaptation of Active Directory Penetration Testing Tools Description:

During my graduation internship at Shellback, I researched to what extent Active Directory attack tools can be adapted to bypass EDR detection during penetration tests.

Security and evasion were central themes throughout the research. By analysing tools such as Certify, SharpHound and Mimikatz, I mapped their techniques to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and investigated how EDR platforms detect them through static, behavioural and heuristic analysis.

Based on these findings I built an obfuscation pipeline that transforms existing attack tools so they are no longer recognised by EDR solutions. The pipeline applies techniques such as AES string encryption, namespace obfuscation and ETW patching. Tests on endpoints protected by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Sophos showed that tools like Certify, Rubeus and SharpHound could be executed without triggering a detection.

The research shows that static obfuscation alone is currently sufficient to evade leading EDR solutions, but that this is not a permanent solution. Variance and continuous adaptation are essential to stay ahead of detection. The pipeline built during this project gives Shellback a practical and extendable starting point for use during future penetration tests.

Infrastructure Standardizing Cross-Stack Development through Declarative Environments

Title: Standardizing Cross-Stack Development through Declarative Environments Description:

During my graduation internship at ISPnext, I researched and implemented a new way of working for developers to set up local development environments. Currently, setting up a project at the company is a manual process that can take hours or even days, often leading to environment drift causing the well known "it works on my machine".

I researched how to turn these manual setups into a "one-click" experience. I started with DevContainers and Docker, which are the industry standards for isolating environments. However, during my testing, I found that Docker can be quite slow for developers using macOS due to the overhead of virtualization. This led me to look into the world of Nix, specifically tools like Devbox and Devenv. These tools are unique because they provide full reproducibility, ensuring every developer has the exact same tools, while running natively on the machine with minimal overhead.

To find the best fit for the team, I built several Proof of Concepts and compared them based on criteria like performance, ease of use, and maintainability. I am now preparing to start a pilot test where developers will try out the top solutions in their daily work. This will help us see which one fits the workflow at ISPnext best.

Software Gamification-Driven Feedback on Code Quality & Compliance

Title: Gamification-Driven Feedback on Code Quality & Compliance Description:

Enexis depends on Mendix teams to deliver business-critical applications in an environment where software quality and compliance with internal and external standards are increasingly important. Although existing tools already provide insight into these areas, this information does not always lead to concrete action by developers. Earlier attempts to enforce compliance through blocking quality gates improved control in some cases, but also introduced friction and harmed Developer Experience (DevEx), making stricter enforcement an unattractive solution.

During my internship, I researched and developed a gamification-driven code quality & compliance feedback approach using Mendix in Amply, Enexis’ internal Mendix Developer Portal. This approach translates compliance insights into actionable quests with continuous feedback, allowing developers to earn rewards, progress over time, and rank up their application as measurable compliance improves. By breaking improvement into smaller, achievable steps and making progress visible, the approach could help make compliance work feel more manageable and better aligned with the daily development process, while supporting DevEx.

Organisational Processes Analyse en rapportage van functiescheiding binnen ERP-systemen

Title: Analyse en rapportage van functiescheiding binnen ERP-systemen Description:

Organisaties die gebruikmaken van ERP-systemen zoals SAP, AFAS, Microsoft Dynamics en anderen zijn afhankelijk van toegangscontroles om fraude en fouten te voorkomen. Een belangrijk onderdeel hiervan is functiescheiding: het waarborgen dat geen enkele gebruiker een volledige transactie zelfstandig kan uitvoeren én goedkeuren. Functiescheidingsconflicten ontstaan wanneer één gebruiker meerdere autorisaties heeft die samen een verhoogd risico vormen, zoals het aanmaken én verwerken van een betaling. Het identificeren van deze conflicten vereist het analyseren van complexe autorisatiestructuren die per ERP-systeem sterk verschillen in datamodel en exportformaat.

Dit afstudeerproject, uitgevoerd bij BDO Nederland binnen de afdeling Technology Risk Assurance, richt zich op een praktische beperking in het huidige auditproces. Hoewel functiescheidingsanalyses al worden uitgevoerd met een intern ontwikkelde tool, worden de resultaten vastgelegd in technische Excel-bestanden die primair intern zijn gericht. Deze uitvoer is minder geschikt voor directe communicatie met klanten, wat leidt tot een kloof tussen de technische analyse en de interpretatie door de klant. Dit speelt met name bij IT-auditors en financial auditors die bevindingen helder moeten overbrengen zonder dat klanten ruwe technische data hoeven te interpreteren.

Het onderzoek ontwikkelt een generiek analytisch raamwerk dat de wisselende datastructuren van verschillende ERP-systemen omzet naar één uniforme dataset. Centraal hierin staat een conflictregelset die definieert welke combinaties van autorisaties een functiescheidingsconflict vormen, aangevuld met een risicoclassificatie op basis van auditpraktijk en vakinhoudelijke expertise.

Op basis van dit raamwerk is een klantgericht Power BI dashboard ontwikkeld met drie analytische perspectieven: een managementsamenvatting met kernrisico-indicatoren, een conflictmatrix per procesgebied en risiconiveau, en een gebruikersoverzicht met individuele toegangsprofielen en rolkoppelingen. Het dashboard is herbruikbaar over meerdere klanten en ERP-systemen zonder handmatige herconfiguratie, wat de schaalbaarheid en praktische inzetbaarheid vergroot en een concrete bijdrage levert aan de kwaliteit van klantcommunicatie en de commerciële waarde van de TRA-dienstverlening

Software Data processing DataBolt

Title: Data processing DataBolt Description:

IDbike, based in Riel, develops advanced e bike components such as torque sensors and controllers for OEM partners. Building on this expertise, its subsidiary Forcesure has developed the DataBolt, a smart bolt capable of continuously measuring its clamping force using sensors integrated into the bolt. Which enables real-time monitoring of structural integrity in applications such as bridges, wind turbines, railways, and industrial machinery. By providing continuous insight into bolt performance, the DataBolt reduces the need for manual inspections and allows maintenance to be performed only where necessary, lowering costs and improving safety.

However, the DataBolt’s true value lies not just in measuring force, but in making that data remotely accessible. This project focuses on designing and implementing a cloud-based platform that allows infrastructure maintainers to remotely monitor bolt data and receive alerts when critical thresholds are reached. To achieve this, a scalable system must be developed that can reliably collect data from a large number of bolts, processes, stores, and can make it available through an intuitive interface.

Hardware Interfacing De Uien Casepacker: Ontwikkeling van een vision-gestuurd robotsysteem voor automatische kwaliteitscontrole en productafhandeling.

Title: De Uien Casepacker: Ontwikkeling van een vision-gestuurd robotsysteem voor automatische kwaliteitscontrole en productafhandeling. Description:

In Nederland worden jaarlijks miljoenen kilogrammen uien verwerkt en verpakt voor bijvoorbeeld de supermarktmarkt. Een standaard stap in dit proces is het inpakken van individuele uiennetjes in een grootverpakking, ook wel casepacken genoemd. Bij de opdrachtgever, een uienverwerkingsbedrijf, verloopt dit proces momenteel grotendeels handmatig.
De uien worden op gewicht in netverpakkingen gedaan. De netten worden aangevoerd vanaf een continu-rol, voorzien van een label en middels een metalen clip verzegeld en gescheiden. Restmateriaal, zoals uienrok of losse schillen, kan vast komen te zitten in het sluitmechanisme. Hierdoor wordt het net niet correct doorgehaald, waardoor twee zakken als één geheel aan elkaar blijven zitten. Daarnaast kunnen er gaten in het net ontstaan tijdens het proces.
De kwaliteitscontrole op kapotte verpakkingen wordt op dit moment handmatig uitgevoerd door medewerkers aan de lijn. Dit is foutgevoelig, arbeidsintensief en schaalt slecht bij hogere productiesnelheden.
De opdracht is na een interview met de afdelingschef van het uienbedrijf verder uitgewerkt. Uit dit gesprek kwamen drie concrete bedrijfsdoelen naar voren: Verbetering van de kwaliteit van de eindverpakkingen, Vermindering van het aantal benodigde manuren aan de lijn en Hogere capaciteit realiseren op een beperkt vloeroppervlak.
Het doel van het project is het ontwikkelen van een vision-gestuurd robotsysteem dat uiennetjes automatisch inspecteert op defecten, goedgekeurde netjes onbeschadigd van de transportband oppakt en geordend in kratten plaatst. Het systeem moet een doorvoer halen van minimaal 90 netjes per minuut en voldoen aan de eis dat de uien en de verpakking het proces onbeschadigd verlaten.

Hardware Interfacing Automated HiL Testing and Cybersecurity Analysis for Spreader Functions

Title: Automated HiL Testing and Cybersecurity Analysis for Spreader Functions Description:

This internship project focuses on the development and integration of automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test cases for spreader functions within an existing HiL environment. The project scope is limited to a selected set of spreader functions and a single truck series to fit within the six-month internship period.

The project begins with gathering and defining the system and software requirements for the selected spreader functions, supported by HY engineers. Based on these requirements, automated HiL test cases will be designed to validate both functional behavior and communication between the spreader Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and the Vehicle System Manager (VSM).

The developed test cases will be implemented and integrated into the existing automated test framework and executed on the HiL setup. The primary component within the project scope is the Vehicle System Manager (VSM). The project aims to improve test efficiency, repeatability, and reliability while supporting faster validation of spreader-related software functions.

In addition, a threat analysis will be performed to identify potential cybersecurity risks related to spreader functions and ECU communication. Based on the findings, recommendations will be provided on how the HiL environment could be extended in the future to support cybersecurity and vulnerability testing.

The final result of the project will be a functional prototype of automated HiL tests, documentation of requirements and test cases, and recommendations for future cyber-focused validation within the HiL setup.

Infrastructure RepeatitiveTask automation

Title: RepeatitiveTask automation Description:

DevOps engineers spend 30 of every 45 minutes on the "tab shuffle"—opening multiple AWS console windows, finding the correct log groups, setting time windows, and cross-referencing data across services to assemble context for operational investigations. The actual analysis is quick once the data is assembled. The friction is in the assembly.

This graduation project explores whether an AI-assisted CLI tool, integrated into the existing AWS SSO workflow, can eliminate this data assembly burden while maintaining strict security and compliance requirements.

The Solution: A two-step playbook where engineers authenticate via their existing SSO tool, then invoke an investigation skill that orchestrates Claude Sonnet 4.6 (via Amazon Bedrock) as an investigation assistant. The LLM selects relevant workflows, executes pre-approved read-only AWS CLI commands, aggregates findings across services, and presents results to the engineer for review. The engineer retains full authority. The LLM never executes commands autonomously.

Infrastructure CTI-informed Advanced Persistent Threat Emulation for RobotLab

Title: CTI-informed Advanced Persistent Threat Emulation for RobotLab Description:

This research addresses the escalating threat of Advanced Persistent Threats to integrated IT and OT systems, using the RobotLab initiative as a case-study. While frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK classify adversary behaviours, a gap remains in translating high-level intelligence reports into actionable, reproducible adversary emulation. This project proposes a structured, repeatable methodology for operationalizing Cyber Threat Intelligence through a three-layered approach encompassing intelligence analysis, technique transformation, and operational execution. The project takes a CTI report on the state-sponsored APT-41 group and tries to apply it in the context of RobotLab, aiming to operationalize Tactics and Techniques into relevant Procedures.

Organisational Processes Professionalisering van marketingrapportages door de ontwikkeling van een Power BI‑oplossing op basis van social data, ontsloten via Supermetrics en verwerkt binnen een Azure data‑architectuur

Title: Professionalisering van marketingrapportages door de ontwikkeling van een Power BI‑oplossing op basis van social data, ontsloten via Supermetrics en verwerkt binnen een Azure data‑architectuur Description:

Dit project richt zich op het verbeteren van de manier waarop social (media) data wordt gestructureerd, verwerkt en gebruikt binnen Centraal Beheer Achmea.
In de huidige situatie wordt social performance voornamelijk geanalyseerd via Google Sheets gedreven rapportages, waarbij vergelijkingen tussen kanalen en businessdoelen (Awareness, Engagement en Conversie) vaak handmatig moeten worden gemaakt. Dit beperkt de schaalbaarheid, consistentie en herbruikbaarheid van de data.

Om dit te verbeteren is binnen het project een gestructureerde data pipeline ontworpen op basis van een volwassen data architectuur. Supermetrics wordt ingezet als data ontsluitingslaag om social data op te halen uit verschillende platformen. Deze data wordt vervolgens verwerkt en opgeslagen in Azure Data Lake volgens de medallion architectuur (bronze, silver, gold), waarbij een duidelijke scheiding wordt aangebracht tussen ruwe data, bewerkte datasets en analytische modellen.

Binnen deze opzet wordt data gestandaardiseerd en samengebracht in één uniform datamodel. Dit maakt consistente definities van metrics mogelijk en verbetert de vergelijkbaarheid tussen campagnes en kanalen. Deze gestructureerde gold laag vormt vervolgens de basis voor een Power BI dashboard, waarin de businessdoelen Awareness, Engagement en Conversie centraal staan.

Door deze combinatie verschuift de focus van handmatige rapportage naar gestandaardiseerde analyse, waarbij inzichten eenvoudiger verkregen, vergeleken en hergebruikt kunnen worden.

Software Multi-Agent LLM System for Automated UML Diagram Generation and Quality Assessment

Title: Multi-Agent LLM System for Automated UML Diagram Generation and Quality Assessment Description:

Producing and reviewing UML diagrams is slow and inconsistent. This project asks whether a multi-agent AI system can automate diagram generation and quality assessment without sidelining engineers. One AI agent generates UML from natural-language requirements; a second, from a different model family, scores it on seven quality criteria and refines weak results. Engineers click diagram elements to leave targeted feedback, and one accepted edit propagates across related diagrams. A 271-run automated evaluation and a 20-reviewer human study show AI judges still score more generously than people, so engineers stay responsible for final professional acceptance.

Software PCB Visualization from ODB++ and Gerber Data

Title: PCB Visualization from ODB++ and Gerber Data Description:

In the PCB manufacturing industry, design data is often stored in complex file formats such as ODB++ and Gerber. These formats contain detailed information about printed circuit board (PCB) layouts, including component positions, outlines, layers, and manufacturing metadata. However, this data is typically difficult to interpret without specialized tools, and existing viewers are often limited in flexibility or integration with internal systems.

This graduation project focuses on developing a structured and extensible system to parse, process, and visualize PCB data from ODB++ and Gerber files. The goal is to transform raw manufacturing data into a clear and interactive visualization that accurately represents components, outlines, and their relationships on a PCB.

The system is built around a structured backend that extracts hierarchical PCB data and stores it in a normalized database model. This includes components, packages, outlines, and their spatial relationships. Special attention is given to handling coordinate system differences between ODB++ (Cartesian bottom-left origin) and SVG-based visualization (top-left origin), ensuring accurate rendering.

On the frontend, the processed data is translated into a visual representation of the PCB, enabling users to inspect component placement, dimensions, and layer structure. The system is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing future support for additional PCB data types and manufacturing metadata.

This project aims to improve the accessibility and interpretability of PCB design data within engineering workflows, supporting better debugging, validation, and communication between development and manufacturing teams.

Software Videck Module: Mooring/Afmeren

Title: Videck Module: Mooring/Afmeren Description:

Videck is een webapplicatie ontwikkeld door Global Cargo Care, gericht op maritieme cargo professionals in het middensegment van de scheepvaart. De applicatie ondersteunt wereldwijd gebruikers bij het plannen en uitvoeren van hun cargotransport, van het plannen van de vracht verdeling op een schip tot het vastzetten van bepaalde lading aan boord.

Een cruciaal onderdeel dat tot nu toe ontbrak, is een module voor het afmeren van schepen. Bedrijven in dit segment moeten steeds vaker kunnen aantonen dat elk onderdeel van hun transport veilig en conform internationale normen verloopt. Het afmeren gebeurt momenteel echter vaak op basis van ervaring, zonder geautomatiseerde berekeningen of officiële documentatie.

Dit afstudeerproject heeft als doel een Mooring Module te ontwikkelen als nieuwe uitbreiding op Videck. De module stelt schippers en maritieme cargo planners in staat om trossen visueel te plaatsen in een interactieve viewport, met boven- en zijaanzicht van het schip en de kade. Op basis van ingevoerde scheeps- en omgevingsgegevens (zoals windsnelheid, windrichting, stroomsnelheid en stroomrichting) worden automatisch berekeningen uitgevoerd volgens de internationale standaard. Binnen de module is direct zichtbaar of de trosconfiguratie voldoet aan de vereiste normen. De module ondersteunt 2 verschillende afmeer scenario's:
- Parallel mooring (parallel aan de kade bakboord/stuurboord)
- Stern mooring (achterzijde aan de kade)
Als een configuratie voldoet aan de normen, kan er automatisch een document worden gegenereerd als bewijs dat het afmeren veilig en volgens standaard heeft plaatsgevonden.

De module bespaart tijd, vermindert menselijke fouten en maakt professioneel, onderbouwd afmeren toegankelijk voor een breed segment van de maritieme sector.

User Interaction UX/UI Graduation Internship - Virtual Building Generator 3.0 at VeriCon

Title: UX/UI Graduation Internship - Virtual Building Generator 3.0 at VeriCon Description:

This graduation project focuses on the UX/UI redesign of VeriCon’s existing VBG platform into VBG 3.0: a next-generation configuration environment for modular building systems. Instead of iterating on the current platform, the project approaches the VBG from the ground up by rethinking workflows, navigation, interface structure, and user interaction based on the limitations and complexity of the current environment.

The main focus of the project is creating a scalable and user-friendly UX/UI foundation for complex building configuration workflows. This includes redesigning the overall application structure, designing new configuration flows, improving the understanding of complex system logic through interface design, and translating these ideas into wireframes, interactive prototypes, a reusable design system and final high-fidelity UI concepts.

A major part of the project also explores how AI can support the UX/UI design process of complex software systems. As VeriCon is actively transitioning towards AI-supported workflows, the use of AI within this project was also strongly encouraged from the company side. Tools such as UXPilot and ChatGPT are therefore integrated into the design workflow to support ideation, iteration, large-scale wireframe generation, and design exploration. Rather than replacing the design process, AI is used as a supporting tool within a structured and validated UX methodology.

By redesigning the VBG from the ground up, the project aims to create a stronger UX/UI foundation for the future of the platform.

User Interaction Digitale Ondersteuning voor Motivatie en Ritme binnen de Fitnesservaring

Title: Digitale Ondersteuning voor Motivatie en Ritme binnen de Fitnesservaring Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerproject heb ik onderzocht hoe digitale ondersteuning sporters kan helpen om gemotiveerd te blijven en hun sportritme vast te houden binnen de fitnesservaring. Uit mijn onderzoek binnen de fitnesscontext bleek dat veel sporters moeite hebben om consistent te blijven sporten door een gebrek aan structuur, motivatie en inzicht in hun voortgang.

Op basis van literatuuronderzoek, interviews met sporters en gesprekken met sportscholen heb ik daarom een interactief appconcept ontworpen dat zich richt op de momenten vóór en na het sporten. Het concept ondersteunt sporters met reflectiemomenten, slimme motivatietriggers, gepersonaliseerde inzichten en lichte gamification om motivatie en ritme vast te houden tussen trainingen.

De app richt zich niet op het uitgebreid tracken van trainingsschema’s of prestaties, maar op het ondersteunen van structuur, consistentie en het inzichtelijk maken van voortgang op een motiverende manier. Door middel van tijdsgebonden interacties, een companion die meegroeit met het sportritme van de gebruiker en AI-gestuurde inzichten probeert het concept sporters te ondersteunen in het vasthouden van motivatie en sportritme tussen trainingen.

Het eindresultaat van mijn project bestaat uit een volledig uitgewerkt concept en interactief prototype, met een onderbouwing van hoe digitale ondersteuning op een meer motiverende en mensgerichte manier kan bijdragen aan de fitnesservaring.

Infrastructure Development of an Azure Cost Optimization Tool (FinOps)

Title: Development of an Azure Cost Optimization Tool (FinOps) Description:

Cloud-omgevingen groeien organisch, wat onvermijdelijk leidt tot inefficiëntie en onnodige kosten. Voor een MSP is het handmatig monitoren en verzamelen van deze verspillingen over tientallen klantomgeving omslachtig.

Dit afstudeerproject, Intelligent Azure Cost Optimization”, richt zich op het automatiseren van proactief FinOps-advies.

Via een serverless architectuur en het “Least Privilege” principe extraheert de applicatie veilig historische verbruiksdata uit diverse Azure-klantomgeving. Deze technische telemetrie wordt via Azure Rest API’s geautomatiseerd gecombineerd met financiële inkoopdata, zoals actieve Reserved Instances (RI’s) en actuele retailprijzen.

Het resultaat is een interactief executive Power BI-dashboard. Dit stelt IT-Consultants in staat om in een oogopslag complexe “RI-Aware” Right-Sizing adviezen en capaciteitsmismatches te detecteren, zonder het risico op onverwachte kapitaalvernietiging. Hiermee positioneert de IT-dienstverlener zich niet enkel als technische beheerder, maar als een strategische “Trusted Advisor” die tastbare financiële waarde en strakke cloud-governance levert.

Infrastructure Passwordless service to service authentication

Title: Passwordless service to service authentication Description:

While authentication between services inside a containerized platform is managed through Kubernetes workload identity mechanisms, authentication between services across the hybrid environment still relies on manually rotated secrets. This means organizations still need to manage secrets manually for these services. This does not align well with a focus on automation, reliability, and security. To address this challenge, Info Support initiated an internship project to research a general passwordless authentication method for services across different environments, without depending on manually rotated secrets.

Hardware Interfacing Development of an End-to-End Embedded System for Particle Deposition Monitoring using Computer Vision

Title: Development of an End-to-End Embedded System for Particle Deposition Monitoring using Computer Vision Description:

The project is about a device that is called the PDM, short for Particle Deposition Monitor. It is used to perform automated measurements in cleanroom environments using vision technology. The device is equipped with a witness plate (a circular glass plate) to collect particles and fibers, a camera to capture these particles and a motor and lighting system to rotate and illuminate the witness plate.

The assignment is to develop software that enables end users to configure, operate and monitor the PDM. All hardware components are already available, therefore, research towards any possible hardware improvements fall outside the scope of this project. The software to be developed consists of several components: a web application for data access and system (re)configuration, embedded software for controlling motors, lighting and camera for measurement purposes and vision software for data processing. Finally, these components will be integrated into a cohesive and working system.

The system is designed around a Single-Board-Computer (SBC) which communicates with a microcontroller-based controller PCB responsible for low-level hardware control. End users can configure measurement intervals, particle classification settings and network connectivity through a web interface hosted by the device itself. Additionally, computer vision techniques are used to process captured images, detect particles and fibers, and calculate deposition-related data automatically.

Organisational Processes Standardized sales-to-delivery handover process at Stormin

Title: Standardized sales-to-delivery handover process at Stormin Description:

Bij Stormin, een Nederlands softwarebedrijf, begeleidt de clientmanager projecten van het eerste gesprek met de klant tot de eindoplevering. In de praktijk ging hier veel tijd verloren aan handmatig werk. Projectinformatie werd mondeling doorgegeven, documenten werden met de hand opgesteld en de overdracht naar het development team verliep niet altijd volledig.

Dit afstudeerproject bracht die knelpunten in kaart en loste ze op. Via interviews, procesanalyse en een gap-analyse werd duidelijk waar het fout ging. Op basis daarvan zijn drie geautomatiseerde workflows gebouwd in n8n. Wanneer een klantgesprek wordt opgenomen via Plaud, worden de opnames elke ochtend automatisch verwerkt. De opname wordt gesorteerd per project in OneDrive, er wordt een concept offerte aangemaakt en er wordt een overdracht document gegenereerd voor het development team. Dit gebeurt via een taalmodel (AI) en alles komt automatisch terecht in ClickUp.

Het resultaat is dat de clientmanager minder tijd kwijt is aan administratief werk en meer tijd heeft voor de klant. Menselijke controle blijft belangrijk, vooral bij de offerte. Maar de eerste opzet staat er al klaar zonder dat iemand iets hoeft uit te typen.

Dit project laat zien hoe automatisering en AI op een praktische manier ingezet kunnen worden binnen een klein ICT-bedrijf om informatie beter te borgen en het werk van de clientmanager te vergemakkelijken.

Organisational Processes Toepassing van AI in IT Managed Services Operations

Title: Toepassing van AI in IT Managed Services Operations Description:

Het AI Ticket Triage project heeft als doel het initiale verwerkingsproces van binnenkomende supporttickets binnen de managed services-omgeving van Calmira te optimaliseren en te automatiseren. De oplossing maakt gebruik van kunstmatige intelligentie om ticketinhoud—meestal afkomstig uit e-mails of portalinzendingen—te analyseren en automatisch te classificeren op basis van kernparameters zoals tickettype, categorie, prioriteit en het verantwoordelijke team.
In de kern gebruikt het systeem natural language processing en historische ticketdata om ongestructureerde tekst te interpreteren, de intentie van een aanvraag te begrijpen en consistente classificatieregels toe te passen. Hiermee wordt de handmatige triagestap vervangen, waarbij engineers elk ticket afzonderlijk moeten lezen en doorzetten—een proces dat tijdrovend, foutgevoelig en lastig schaalbaar is.
Binnen de Calmira-werkwijze worden tickets eerst in een speciale triage-queue geplaatst. Hier verrijkt en classificeert de AI de tickets, waarna ze automatisch worden toegewezen aan de juiste operationele queue voor verdere behandeling door engineers. De AI vervangt daarbij niet de engineers, maar ondersteunt hen door administratieve taken te automatiseren, zodat zij zich kunnen richten op analyse, oplossing en klantcontact.
De belangrijkste doelstellingen van het project zijn het verhogen van de snelheid en consistentie van ticketverwerking, het verminderen van foutieve routering en het verbeteren van de algehele servicekwaliteit. AI-gestuurde triage kan tickets in seconden verwerken en uniforme classificatielogica toepassen, wat resulteert in snellere responstijden en minder herverplaatsingen.
Het project omvat de ontwikkeling van een geïntegreerde workflow (bijvoorbeeld via Autotask en automatiseringsplatformen zoals n8n), het gebruik van geanonimiseerde historische data voor training en validatie, en het waarborgen van security- en compliance-eisen zoals AVG.
Uiteindelijk vormt dit initiatief een belangrijke bouwsteen in Calmira’s bredere AI-gedreven dienstverlening, waarbij efficiëntie wordt verhoogd zonder controle of kwaliteit te verliezen.

Hardware Interfacing Development of the SAP-M (Syringe Assembly Platform) based on PackML principles

Title: Development of the SAP-M (Syringe Assembly Platform) based on PackML principles Description:

Dit project richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een gestructureerde en modulaire software voor de SAP-M (Syringe Assembly Platform – Manual), een semiautomatische machine voor het assembleren van spuiten. Het doel van de SAP-M is het verbeteren van de productkwaliteit en het verhogen van de productie-efficiëntie door het traditionele handmatige assemblageproces te vervangen door een koppel gestuurde methode.

De centrale doelstelling van dit project is het programmeren van de SAP-M volgens de PackML-standaard. Door deze standaard toe te passen, wordt een uniforme, onderhoudbare en schaalbare softwarearchitectuur gerealiseerd. Dit draagt bij aan een consistente werkwijze binnen het softwareteam en maakt het mogelijk om de machine eenvoudig uit te breiden of aan te passen voor toekomstige toepassingen.

De machine bestaat uit meerdere functionele stations die gelijktijdig specifieke assemblagestappen uitvoeren, zoals het monteren van de plunger rod en het bevestigen van de finger flange.

Daarnaast omvat het project de ontwikkeling van een HMI, waarmee operators processen kunnen aansturen, receptinstellingen kunnen beheren en de status van de machine kunnen monitoren. Het gehele systeem wordt getest en gevalideerd om te controleren dat het voldoet aan de gestelde functionele en niet-functionele eisen, en aan de vereiste veiligheidsnormen.

Het project levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan de ontwikkeling van een betrouwbare en flexibele assemblageoplossing, geschikt voor zogeheten high mix, low volume productieomgevingen. En het resultaat vormt een softwarebasis voor verdere standaardisatie en opschaling binnen de GTE.

User Interaction Een city-event app die de bezoekerservaring versterkt en citymarketing waardevolle inzichten biedt

Title: Een city-event app die de bezoekerservaring versterkt en citymarketing waardevolle inzichten biedt Description:

Mijn afstudeerproject gaat over het versterken van de bezoekerservaring bij city-events met behulp van een app. City-events spelen een belangrijke rol in hoe mensen een stad beleven. Ze zorgen voor sfeer, ontmoeting en activiteit in de openbare ruimte. Toch worden digitale middelen rondom deze evenementen praktisch ingezet. Denk aan websites, social media, programma’s, plattegronden en algemene informatie. Dat is handig voor de voorbereiding, maar het versterkt de beleving rondom het gehele event niet.

Binnen mijn project heb ik gekeken hoe een app meer waarde kan bieden dan alleen informatie geven. De focus lag op een concept dat bezoekers helpt bij de gehele bezoekersreis van een stadsevent. De telefoon moest daarbij niet de hoofdrol krijgen tijdens een event, maar juist ondersteunend zijn aan de fysieke beleving.

Daarnaast heb ik gekeken naar de waarde voor citymarketingorganisaties. Zij maken evenementen zichtbaar en willen bezoekers sterker verbinden aan de stad. Tegelijkertijd hebben zij weinig inzicht in wat bezoekers interessant vinden, waarom zij komen en hoe zij het event na afloop ervaren. Daardoor is het lastig om betrokkenheid en loyaliteit op te bouwen.

Het concept brengt daarom twee werelden samen. Voor bezoekers draait het om een persoonlijkere en leukere eventervaring die de gehele bezoekersreis versterkt. (voor, tijdens en na het event). Voor citymarketingorganisaties biedt het kansen om beter inzicht te krijgen in voorkeuren, gedrag en betrokkenheid van bezoekers. Die inzichten kunnen helpen om toekomstige evenementen beter af te stemmen en bezoekers opnieuw te activeren.

Het eindresultaat is een interactief prototype dat laat zien hoe digitale ondersteuning kan bijdragen aan meer beleving, betrokkenheid en loyaliteit binnen city-events, zonder dat de fysieke ervaring naar de achtergrond verdwijnt.

Organisational Processes Ontsluiting en Automatisering van Real-Time Datastromen binnen het Azure-Dataplatform van Gemeente Tilburg

Title: Ontsluiting en Automatisering van Real-Time Datastromen binnen het Azure-Dataplatform van Gemeente Tilburg Description:

Dit project richt zich op het onderzoeken en implementeren van real-time en near-real-time databronontsluiting binnen het Azure-dataplatform van Gemeente Tilburg. Momenteel is het platform voornamelijk ingericht op batchverwerking met dagelijkse laadfrequenties. De behoefte binnen de organisatie groeit echter naar actuelere data.

Tijdens het onderzoek is onderzocht welke typen databronnen en dataleveringsmethoden technisch en organisatorisch haalbaar zijn binnen de bestaande architectuur. Hierbij is gekeken naar verschillende vormen van databronontsluiting, zoals REST API's, bulk-API's, SFTP en event-driven oplossingen.

Daarnaast is onderzocht welke aanvullende maatregelen nodig zijn op het gebied van monitoring, beheer, beveiliging en schaalbaarheid om hogere laadfrequenties betrouwbaar te ondersteunen.

Als praktische implementatie is een near-real-time datapipeline ontwikkeld voor open verkeersdata van het Nationaal Dataportaal Wegverkeer (NDW). De oplossing maakt gebruik van verschillende tools om XML-data periodiek op te halen, op te slaan en te verwerken naar bruikbare datasets.

Organisational Processes Dashboard Optimisation Revision — Wealth Management Banking Belgium

Title: Dashboard Optimisation Revision — Wealth Management Banking Belgium Description:

My Graduation project was carried out a private banking organisation, in the Business Intelligence & Analytics department with a focus on the Belgian branch. The organisation uses Power BI dashboards as a central tool for data-driven decision making. Due to the sheer size of the dashboard environment the project was scoped down to three dashboards: the Sales dashboard (specifically the NNA (New Netto Assets) section), the Growth Effort dashboard, and the Outflow Management dashboard. These dashboard all strongly correlate to the forecasting of NNA, which in this day and age is getting increasingly important.

The central research question was: How can the dashboarding for Sales, Growth Effort and Outflow within Private Banking Belgium be optimised to increase efficiency for management and bankers, while preserving usability?

Through research methods like a IST/SOLL situation, GAP-Analysis or through several stakeholder interviews (All methods supported by the DOT-Framework) multiple optimisation areas were indentified, some of them for example being:

- Implementing Forecasting of the NNA to the Sales dashboard
- Merging the Growth Effort and Outflow dashboards
- Implementing automatic filtering based on the logged-in user
- Standardising visualisations and navigation across dashboards

A significant part of this project involved communicating with and aligning the needs of different stakeholder groups. Management prioritised reducing the number of dashboards and strengthening forecasting insights, while Belgian bankers valued stability and familiar workflows. Aligning these perspectives, and finding solutions that satisfied both, was essential to the research process. The proposed optimisations address the needs of all stakeholders without disrupting existing processes, and resulted in a prototype and structured optimisation plan serving as a blueprint for a more efficient, coherent, and user-friendly dashboard landscape.

Organisational Processes Optimizing the Digital Employee Experience at Calmira

Title: Optimizing the Digital Employee Experience at Calmira Description:

Calmira is een IT‑dienstverlener en strategisch partner voor MKB‑organisaties, die zich richt op het volledig ontzorgen van bedrijven op het gebied van ICT, telecom en digitale werkplekken. Zij bieden oplossingen zoals Microsoft 365, cloudinfrastructuur, digitale veiligheid, netwerken en telefonie, met als doel een veilige, betrouwbare en gebruiksvriendelijke werkomgeving te creëren. Door deze diensten te combineren helpt Calmira organisaties om efficiënter te werken en werkgeluk binnen de organisatie te verhogen.

De aanleiding voor dit project ligt in het feit dat veel MKB‑klanten moeite hebben om zich een concreet beeld te vormen van wat de moderne werkplek inhoudt. Voor hen blijft dit begrip vaak te abstract, waardoor het lastig is om de meerwaarde ervan te begrijpen. Tijdens klantgesprekken ontbreekt daardoor een tastbare en visuele beleving, wat kan leiden tot onzekerheid en een gebrek aan overtuiging. Hierdoor blijft de gewenste “wow‑factor” uit en wordt het moeilijker om klanten mee te nemen in het verhaal van Calmira.

Het doel van dit project is om de Digital Employee Experience (DEX) te optimaliseren door een scenario‑gestuurde Microsoft 365 demo‑omgeving te ontwikkelen. Met deze Proof‑of‑Concept wordt de moderne werkplek op een tastbare en herkenbare manier gepresenteerd, zodat klanten beter begrijpen hoe zij efficiënter kunnen werken binnen hun digitale omgeving. Hierbij wordt ook op een subtiele manier inzicht gegeven in hoe slimme functionaliteiten, zoals automatisering en AI‑ondersteuning, een rol kunnen spelen binnen deze werkomgeving. Op deze manier kan Calmira haar dienstverlening overtuigender overbrengen en klanten beter ondersteunen in hun beeldvorming van de moderne werkplek.

Infrastructure Implementing Robust SQL Database Connectivity in a LabVIEW Test Framework

Title: Implementing Robust SQL Database Connectivity in a LabVIEW Test Framework Description:

This graduation project focuses on improving the reliability of SQL database connectivity within the Frencken Testing Framework, a LabVIEW-based system used to execute production test sequences and store test results in a Microsoft SQL Server database.

The framework depends on database communication during test execution. When temporary network interruptions occur, this can lead to failed queries, unclear application behavior, incomplete database results, or the need for manual recovery. The project investigates how the current system communicates with the database, how it behaves during connection loss, and which risks this creates for production testing and data integrity.

Through system analysis and controlled testing, different failure scenarios are reproduced and evaluated. These findings are used to define requirements for a more robust and maintainable approach to database connectivity.

The goal is to provide Frencken with a validated understanding of the current connectivity risks and a practical foundation for improving database reliability, error handling, monitoring, and recovery behavior in the Frencken Testing Framework.

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Iquality werk ik aan een innovatieve uitbreiding van het WEC-klantportaal van Vitens. Binnen dit portaal worden analyseorders voor waterkwaliteitsonderzoek momenteel handmatig aangemaakt. Dit proces kost veel tijd en is gevoelig voor fouten. Mijn opdracht richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) UI-module die gebruikers ondersteunt met AI-gegenereerde voorstellen voor analyseorders.
Het doel van het project is om AI-agents relevante ordergegevens te laten voorstellen op basis van contextinformatie, zoals historische orders, monsterlocaties en gebruikersgegevens. De gebruiker behoudt hierbij altijd de controle. Voorstellen kunnen bekeken en aangepast worden voordat een definitieve order wordt verstuurd. Hierdoor wordt het proces efficiënter, terwijl betrouwbaarheid en transparantie behouden blijven.
Binnen het project onderzoek ik hoe AI-agents effectief geïntegreerd kunnen worden en hoe goede communicatie tussen AI, Back-end en Front-end ingericht moet worden. Daarnaast ontwerp en realiseer ik een prototype waarin deze onderdelen samenkomen. Hiervoor heb ik onder andere onderzoek gedaan naar AI-frameworks en heb ik een architectuur ontworpen voor de Back-end.
Met dit project combineer ik software-engineering, AI-integratie en UX-principes om een praktische en toekomstgerichte oplossing te ontwikkelen die mogelijk van toegevoegde waarde kan zijn voor Vitens en vergelijkbare enterprise-omgevingen.

Software LabTrain Patiëntenportaal: architectuur, beveiliging en compliance

Title: LabTrain Patiëntenportaal: architectuur, beveiliging en compliance Description:

Nederlandse zorgwetgeving geeft patiënten recht op digitale inzage in hun gegevens, maar veel laboratoriuminformatiesystemen bieden die mogelijkheid nog niet. Dit afstudeerproject bestaat uit het ontwerp en de realisatie van een patiëntenportaal voor LabTrain, het laboratoriuminformatiemanagementsysteem (LIMS) van Bodegro. Het portaal biedt patiënten een centraal, veilig toegangspunt tot hun gegevens en is opgezet als generiek, uitbreidbaar fundament waarop toekomstige functionaliteiten kunnen worden gebouwd.

De eerste gerealiseerde functionaliteit is het inzien en downloaden van oproepbrieven en het beheren van contact- en communicatievoorkeuren. De architectuur- en beveiligingsbasis is echter niet aan die functionaliteit gekoppeld en is inzetbaar voor toekomstige uitbreidingen zoals inzage in uitslagen of afsprakenbeheer.

Centraal in het ontwerp staan sterke authenticatie op het betrouwbaarheidsniveau dat past bij medische persoonsgegevens, strikte autorisatie zodat patiënten uitsluitend hun eigen gegevens kunnen inzien, audit logging conform de geldende zorgnormen en toegankelijkheid voor mensen met beperkingen.

Het project combineert softwareontwikkeling met informatiebeveiliging en sluit aan bij het profiel Software Engineering met specialisatie Cyber Security. Deliverables zijn een productieklare Blazor Server-applicatie, een Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), een security testrapport, een toegankelijkheidsrapport en volledige technische documentatie waarmee het ontwikkelteam na oplevering zelfstandig kan doorontwikkelen.

Software Coach Vooruit

Title: Coach Vooruit Description:

Coach Vooruit is een jeugdhulpaanbieder die ambulante en residentiële begeleiding biedt aan jeugdigen door heel Nederland. Binnen de organisatie verloopt de interne communicatie rondom roosters, dienstwissels en werk gerelateerde informatie momenteel via losse kanalen zoals e-mail en WhatsApp. Dit zorgt regelmatig voor miscommunicatie, onduidelijkheid en fouten, met name bij het ruilen en uitvoeren van diensten. Daarnaast ontbreekt een centrale plek waar medewerkers actuele formulieren, protocollen en werkwijzen kunnen raadplegen.

Dit project richt zich op het onderzoeken en verbeteren van deze interne informatievoorziening. Het doel is om inzicht te krijgen in de knelpunten en behoeften van begeleiders en coördinatoren en op basis daarvan een centrale digitale oplossing te ontwerpen. Deze oplossing moet medewerkers op een overzichtelijke en betrouwbare manier inzicht geven in roosters en dienstwissels en daarnaast fungeren als kennisbank voor interne documentatie.

Binnen het project wordt een onderzoekende aanpak gehanteerd, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van interviews, deskresearch en analyse van bestaande processen. De resultaten van dit onderzoek vormen de basis voor functionele en niet-functionele eisen en voor het ontwerp van de oplossing. De focus van de afstudeeropdracht ligt met name op het technische ontwerp en de realisatie van de back-end, waarbij aandacht wordt besteed aan aspecten zoals datamodellering, beveiliging, autorisatie en betrouwbaarheid.

Het eindresultaat van het project bestaat uit een onderbouwd ontwerp en een (conceptuele of functionele) uitwerking van een centrale applicatie, aangevuld met documentatie en aanbevelingen. Hiermee krijgt Coach Vooruit inzicht in hoe interne processen rondom roosterbeheer en kennisdeling efficiënter, transparanter en minder foutgevoelig kunnen worden ingericht.

Software Vaelio

Title: Vaelio Description:

Living with Long COVID or chronic exhaustion means navigating a world with limited energy. Traditional health apps like mood trackers do not capture this reality, they only measure data without providing guidance to the patients which are exhausted. Frustrated by the lack of proactive tools during my own journey with Long COVID, I used my graduation project at Fontys to bridge this gap and build Vaelio.

Vaelio transforms traditional energy management into an app that gives back agency to people with chronic illnesses. The app was developed in close collaboration with occupational therapists and researchers to ensure the effectiveness of the app and its guidance.

Vaelio is born out of lived experience and validated by clinical experts. My mission with Vaelio is to replace the chaotic "boom-and-bust" cycle of post-viral illnesses with stability, giving patients their grip on life back.

Software Research, Design and Implementation of a Dapr Based Centralized API Gateway for Cost Efficient External Data Usage at BDO

Title: Research, Design and Implementation of a Dapr Based Centralized API Gateway for Cost Efficient External Data Usage at BDO Description:

My graduation internship assignment at BDO focuses on the design and implementation of a centralized API gateway to improve cost efficiency, governance, and control over external data consumption. BDO retrieves information through an external API. Each API endpoint has usage based costs, while multiple internal applications currently access these endpoints independently. This results in redundant requests, unnecessary expenses, and a lack of centralized governance and visibility.

To address this, the project introduces a centralized gateway that acts as a proxy between BDO’s internal applications and the external API. All traffic to the external service is routed through this gateway, enabling request deduplication through caching and thereby reducing operational costs. The gateway is secured using Microsoft Entra ID to ensure controlled and auditable access for consuming systems.

The gateway is built using Dapr, the Distributed Application Runtime, which provides standardized building blocks for common cross cutting concerns such as state management, service discovery, and observability. The exact Dapr components, patterns, and design choices are determined through research conducted as part of the project’s research document.

A configuration driven architecture is applied, allowing new API endpoints, caching retention rules, and authorization policies to be added without code changes or redeployment. In addition to cost savings, the solution improves observability, maintainability, and compliance with data governance requirements. By introducing a single, controlled integration point, this project supports BDO’s long term architectural strategy and strengthens governance across its integration landscape.

Infrastructure Herstructurering, heroverweging en automatisering van IT-Controls binnen Heijmans

Title: Herstructurering, heroverweging en automatisering van IT-Controls binnen Heijmans Description:

Binnen Heijmans speelt informatiebeveiliging een belangrijke rol in het beheersen van digitale risico’s en het aantoonbaar voldoen aan security en auditvereisten. Een belangrijk onderdeel hiervan zijn IT-controls: vaste controleafspraken waarmee wordt vastgesteld of beveiligingsmaatregelen goed werken en of hiervan voldoende bewijs beschikbaar is. In de praktijk worden deze controls nog deels handmatig uitgevoerd, bijvoorbeeld door exports te maken, gegevens te verwerken in Excel en rapportages handmatig samen te stellen. Dit kost tijd, vergroot de kans op fouten en maakt herhaalbaarheid en auditbaarheid minder sterk.

Mijn afstudeerproject richt zich daarom op het herzien en deels automatiseren van security IT-controls. In de eerste fase heb ik onderzocht wat een goede IT-control is, welke definities en beoordelingscriteria nodig zijn en hoe actuele dreigingen en frameworks zoals ISO 27001 kunnen worden vertaald naar praktische controls. Vervolgens heb ik het controlframework geanalyseerd en uitgewerkt in een controlregister met IST, GAP, SOLL en verbetervoorstellen.

De Proof of Concept richt zich op de control Security Incident Trend Analyse. Hierbij worden security-incidenten en alerts uit ServiceNow en Microsoft Defender maandelijks geanalyseerd om trends, afwijkingen en mogelijke structurele oorzaken zichtbaar te maken. Binnen de PoC worden handmatige CSV-exports geplaatst in een SharePoint landing zone. Daarna verwerkt Power Automate de bestanden automatisch naar centrale raw tabellen in Excel. Deze output vormt de basis voor verdere analyse met Power Query en visualisatie in Power BI.

De PoC toont aan hoe de uitvoering van een Security IT-control consistenter, herhaalbaarder en beter aantoonbaar kan worden ingericht, terwijl menselijke review behouden blijft voor interpretatie en opvolging.

Hardware Interfacing Exploration and Migration of Linux-Based HMI Platform

Title: Exploration and Migration of Linux-Based HMI Platform Description:

Most smart devices run on a specific microchip. At AME, the entire software system was built specifically for one type of chip manufacture (NXP i.MX). But what if you want to switch to a completely different chip manufacturer? That is a massive software challenge. In this project, we solved exactly that!
What we did during the internship:
• Created a Blueprint: We designed a blueprint to analyze and predict risks before adding a new microchip to the existing software system.
• Built the Foundation: We successfully integrated the critical software baseline: the Board Support Package (BSP), including the bootloader and kernel of a brand-new chip manufacturer (Renesas) into AME’s existing NXP-based system.
• Proved it Works: We proved that our blueprint was right by implementing the bootloader and kernel, on the new real hardware chip, and ensuring the existing NXP software system kept building without any issues.

Software Toegankelijke Content Block Library voor het Shazzoo CMS

Title: Toegankelijke Content Block Library voor het Shazzoo CMS Description:

Binnen Shazzoo wordt gewerkt aan een eigen CMS: een systeem waarmee websites kunnen worden opgebouwd en beheerd. Veel websites bestaan uit herbruikbare onderdelen, zoals een grote introductiesectie (Hero), tekst met afbeelding, knoppen of call-to-actionknoppen. In de huidige werkwijze worden dit soort onderdelen vaak per project opnieuw ontwikkeld, waardoor verschillen ontstaan in opbouw, kwaliteit en onderhoud.

Mijn afstudeerproject richt zich op het ontwerpen, valideren en realiseren van een eerste vaste werkwijze voor contentblokken binnen het nieuwe Shazzoo CMS. Hierbij wordt bepaald hoe contentblokken op een vaste manier worden opgebouwd, opgeslagen en getoond op de website. Op basis daarvan wordt een eerste werkende versie van een block library ontwikkeld met voorbeeldblokken die ontwikkelaars binnen het CMS kunnen gebruiken, uitbreiden en toevoegen zonder voor ieder project opnieuw dezelfde keuzes te moeten maken. Hierdoor wordt het CMS beter schaalbaar en blijft de code beter onderhoudbaar.

Een belangrijk onderdeel van het project is digitale toegankelijkheid. Dit betekent dat websites ook goed bruikbaar moeten zijn voor mensen die bijvoorbeeld een toetsenbord, schermlezer of andere hulpmiddelen gebruiken. Daarom worden toegankelijkheidseisen, zoals goede structuur, duidelijke labels, alternatieve teksten bij afbeeldingen en zichtbare focus, al meegenomen tijdens het ontwerpen en bouwen van de blokken.

Het resultaat van dit project is geen volledige bibliotheek met alle mogelijke contentblokken, maar een onderbouwde basis waarmee Shazzoo toekomstige blokken consistenter, toegankelijker en efficiënter kan ontwikkelen voor meerdere websites.

Organisational Processes Herontwerp van een prospect-registratiesysteem in Microsoft Power Apps: Business Process Flows en rolgebaseerde autorisatie voor verbeterde datakwaliteit

Title: Herontwerp van een prospect-registratiesysteem in Microsoft Power Apps: Business Process Flows en rolgebaseerde autorisatie voor verbeterde datakwaliteit Description:

Een registratiesysteem voor potentiële klanten in Power Apps werd dagelijks gebruikt door meer dan duizend medewerkers, terwijl het ooit als tijdelijke oplossing was opgezet. De applicatie miste structuur op meerdere fronten. Datakwaliteit liep achteruit doordat er nauwelijks controles op invoer zaten, gebruikers konden velden en keuzelijstopties zien die niet bij hun rol hoorden, en het proces zelf bood geen houvast. Iedereen moest zelf weten welk veld op welk moment relevant was, wat tot inconsistente en vaak onvolledige records leidde. De data uit het systeem voedde verder ook dashboards en rapportages, waardoor de gevolgen verder reikten dan alleen het formulier zelf.

Het vernieuwde systeem leidt de gebruiker via een Business Process Flow met drie takken, één per rol. Welke tak je krijgt hangt af van wie de klant heeft opgevoerd, een veld dat automatisch wordt ingevuld. Rolgebaseerde autorisatie regelt wat je ziet en kan bewerken, opgebouwd in JavaScript omdat de standaard rollen in Dataverse daarvoor te grof zijn. Voor elk eerder geconstateerd datakwaliteitsprobleem zit er nu een controle aan de invoerkant, en een duplicaatcontrole voorkomt dat dezelfde klant meerdere keren in het systeem terechtkomt. De onderliggende Dataverse-tabel is hergebruikt, zodat de bestaande Power BI-dashboards bleven werken zonder aanpassing.

Software From multi-source data collection to visualization

Title: From multi-source data collection to visualization Description:

MipDAQ is a generic backend data acquisition system developed for MI-Partners, a high-end mechatronics company. The goal is to give system engineers a single, unified platform to collect, synchronise, and observe real-time signals from the diverse range of machines and software they work with daily (including motion controllers, PLCs, xPC targets, and system controller applications). The most difficult and simultaneously crucial aspect of this software is heterogeneity (adaptability of dissimilar sources), and that is achieved modular, loosely coupled architecture built around a generic source adapter interface, a signal conditioning pipeline, and a time alignment layer that brings all incoming signals onto a common timeline before they are buffered and distributed. Then, via an API, downstream consumers (sinks) can subscribe to signals, unsubscribe, filter, start and stop without interfering with other consumers.

Software Digitale assistent voor accountmanagers

Title: Digitale assistent voor accountmanagers Description:

Alius is een adviserende groothandel en expert op het gebied van duurzame energie- en warmteoplossingen. Binnen Alius besteden accountmanagers veel tijd aan administratieve taken rondom klantafspraken, zoals het verzamelen van informatie uit verschillende systemen en het uitwerken van gespreksnotities. Hierdoor blijft minder tijd over voor klantcontact en relatiebeheer.

Tijdens dit afstudeerproject is onderzocht hoe een modulaire en schaalbare webapplicatie accountmanagers kan ondersteunen bij het voorbereiden en beheren van klantafspraken. Het ontwikkelde prototype maakt gebruik van AI-functionaliteiten en een koppeling met het CRM-systeem om administratieve processen efficiënter te laten verlopen. Zo kan relevante klantinformatie automatisch worden verzameld en worden omgezet in een podcast, en kunnen klantgesprekken automatisch worden samengevat.

Daarnaast is onderzocht hoe veilige toegang tot klantgegevens op externe locaties gerealiseerd kan worden, met aandacht voor gegevensbescherming, AVG-naleving en stabiel gebruik onderweg.

Het resultaat is een toekomstgericht prototype dat administratieve lasten vermindert en accountmanagers ondersteunt, zodat ze meer tijd kunnen besteden aan klantcontact.

Infrastructure Implementatie van AI-oplossingen ter optimalisatie van IT-bedrijfsprocessen

Title: Implementatie van AI-oplossingen ter optimalisatie van IT-bedrijfsprocessen Description:

Dit afstudeerproject bij TWC IT Solutions in Eindhoven onderzoekt hoe AI veilig en praktisch ingezet kan worden binnen IT-processen. TWC is een IT-dienstverlener met ongeveer 40 medewerkers, verdeeld over meerdere afdelingen. Binnen deze afdelingen komen dagelijks veel terugkerende werkzaamheden voor zoals ticketafhandeling, het opstellen van knowledge articles en het verwerken van documentatie in Xurrent. Deze processen zijn vaak handmatig, tijdrovend en leiden tot inconsistentie tussen medewerkers en afdelingen.

Het onderzoek begint met een analyse van knelpunten en requirements per afdeling, gevolgd door een inventarisatie van de geldende securityvoorwaarden. Op basis hiervan zijn beschikbare AI-oplossingen vergeleken en beoordeeld op impact, haalbaarheid en risico. Dit heeft geleid tot de keuze voor een lokale RAG+LLM-oplossing, waarbij alle interne data on-premise blijft en gevoelige informatie niet naar externe diensten wordt verstuurd.

De Proof of Concept laat zien hoe AI medewerkers sneller toegang geeft tot relevante kennis, helpt bij consistentere ticketverwerking en het hergebruiken van bestaande documentatie. Het doel is om TWC een concreet, gevalideerd advies te geven over hoe AI meetbare waarde kan toevoegen aan de dagelijkse IT-processen, binnen de geldende securityvoorwaarden.

Software AI Systems Design

Title: AI Systems Design Description:

During my graduation internship at Canon Production Printing (CPP), I researched and designed Axora: an AI-based knowledge access architecture for accessing information across multiple CPP documentation systems.

Within CPP, marketing and service information is distributed across multiple platforms with different structures and access rules. This affects both internal CPP employees and Regional Sales Headquarters (RSHQs), where users often need to manually search multiple systems to obtain complete and accurate information. Locating the correct information is time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to inefficiencies, duplicated work, and escalation of questions to specialists.

The project involves researching and designing an AI-based knowledge access architecture using CPP-supported tooling. Through research, prototyping, and stakeholder validation, architectural approaches for secure and scalable knowledge access across multiple documentation systems were explored and evaluated, covering areas such as source integration, answer quality, security and compliance, user interaction, and long-term governance.

The final result is a validated system architecture and proof of concept that demonstrates how users can retrieve correct, complete, and up-to-date answers to questions about distributed marketing and service information in a secure, fast and user-friendly way, while respecting document-level access control.

Infrastructure Commercializing Microsoft Entra ID Governance through Automated IAM Service Packages

Title: Commercializing Microsoft Entra ID Governance through Automated IAM Service Packages Description:

SITS | Traxion is an independent specialist and market leader within the Benelux in the field of identity & access management (IAM). They guide customers towards robust, flexible solutions with strategic, tactical, and operational advice and services. As part of their portfolio, they regularly deploy Microsoft Entra ID Governance environments for customer demonstrations and proof-of-concept engagements. Entra ID Governance allows organizations to manage who has access to what and ensures that access is appropriate and reviewed regularly, addressing a critical security and compliance challenge. Microsoft Entra ID Governance addresses this challenge by providing enterprises with tools to automate the entire identity lifecycle of users, enforce least-privileged access, and demonstrate compliance.

This graduation project aims to standardize and create automation templates that allow these governance flows to be deployed out of the box. This will, in turn, decrease pre-sales and sales times, along with the engineering time it takes to create these demonstrations for potential customers. This is done by designing, building, and validating an automated IAM Package, which is a PowerShell-based automation repository built on Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, JSON template files to deploy these governance objects. This allows SITS | Traxion engineers to deploy these flows with a single command. The business impact allows the sales teams to communicate these features to customers faster and more confidently, and allows these engineers to spend their time on high-value work instead of repetitive environment setups.

User Interaction Redesigning an operational B2B Platform and establishing a scalable Design Delivery Process within a digital agency

Title: Redesigning an operational B2B Platform and establishing a scalable Design Delivery Process within a digital agency Description:

What happens when software that thousands of operational employees rely on every day no longer fits the way they actually work? This graduation project focuses on the redesign of the COMTOO.nl platform, an existing B2B communication and workflow platform used by operational companies such as logistics and installation businesses. Although COMTOO is already actively used in real working environments, its growing role within operational processes introduced new UX challenges related to navigation, onboarding, workflow clarity and user adoption.

The project combines two ambitions. The first is improving key workflows and interaction structures within COMTOO to better support operational employees and management in their daily work. The second is using this redesign process as a foundation for helping a digital agency (Apperium in this case) evolve toward a more structured, research driven and design-first way of working.

Rather than focusing purely on visual redesign, the project explores how UX design can become a strategic part of product development within an agency environment. By documenting reusable methods, validation activities, workshops and design workflows, the project aims to contribute to a more scalable Design Delivery Process for future digital products and clients.

Infrastructure Modernisering en professionalisering van clusteromgevingen

Title: Modernisering en professionalisering van clusteromgevingen Description:

Dit afstudeeronderzoek richt zich op de transitie naar een toekomstbestendige, hoogbeschikbare clusteromgeving voor de softwarebedrijven OnView en OpenDIS, gefaciliteerd door IT-dienstverlener Linfosys.

De huidige infrastructuur brengt operationele kwetsbaarheden met zich mee: OnView host applicaties traditioneel op 18 inefficiënt te beheren fysieke IIS-servers, en OpenDIS draait op een organisch gegroeid, ongedocumenteerd Kubernetes-cluster waarbij een fout in test direct productie kan platleggen.

Op basis van een gap-analyse, literatuuronderzoek, praktijkgerichte Proof of Concepts tussen K8s, K0s en RKE2 en aanvullende demo's en cursussen is RKE2 als ideale oplossing geïdentificeerd — vanwege out-of-the-box CIS-hardening, naadloze integratie met Rancher en behoud van Portworx als opslagoplossing (door alle stakeholders gewenst).

De nieuwe architectuur splitst de omgevingen op in vier volledig gescheiden RKE2-clusters, fysiek verdeeld over drie datacenters. Bij uitval van een node of compleet datacenter herverdeelt de infrastructuur de workloads automatisch en zonder downtime.

Software Designing an Agentic Cultivation Intelligence System (for Proactive Grower Notification)

Title: Designing an Agentic Cultivation Intelligence System (for Proactive Grower Notification) Description:

Modern strawberry growers generate enormous amounts of cultivation data through greenhouse sensors. However, many valuable insights remain unnoticed because existing dashboards require growers to actively monitor and interpret data themselves. Since growers spend most of their time in the field rather than behind a screen, important developments in crop conditions are often identified too late.

This graduation project addresses that challenge through the design of "Mr. Berry": a cultivation intelligence system that automatically detects meaningful patterns and anomalies in cultivation data and proactively informs growers through their preferred messaging channel.

The system identifies relevant cultivation events, such as deviations in fruit development timing, environmental stress indicators, or unusual climate conditions and rather than presenting raw sensor values, the system translates detected events into actionable notifications that explain:
- what was detected,
- why it matters,
- and what the grower can do about it.

A multi-agent AI system transforms technical cultivation data into clear, grower-friendly messages. Specialized AI agents interpret detected cultivation events, enrich them with historical and contextual reasoning, and generate actionable messages in human language. This orchestration enables the system to move toward context-aware communication that aligns with the growers' decision-making.

This project focuses on the software architecture and technical validation of such a system. The final result consists of a proposed architecture design and a working proof of concept that demonstrates real-time event detection and automated message generation. This provides a foundation for future cultivation intelligence systems that proactively support growers in daily decision-making.

Software Enhancing Equality in Hiring: An AI-Driven Matching Framework

Title: Enhancing Equality in Hiring: An AI-Driven Matching Framework Description:

Voor mijn afstudeerproject binnen Pitt IT heb ik onderzoek gedaan naar vooroordelen binnen het selectieproces tijdens recruitment. Het doel van dit project is het ontwerpen en realiseren van een Proof of Concept (PoC) voor een AI-gedreven matching framework dat recruiters ondersteunt bij het matchen van kandidaten op vacatures.
Tijdens dit project heb ik onderzocht hoe bias geïdentificeerd en gemitigeerd kan worden. Omdat AI een snelgroeiende technologie is, wordt er in de praktijk nog vaak voorbijgegaan aan aspecten zoals ethiek en privacy. De focus binnen mijn onderzoek lag op het transparant maken van de keuzes van AI-modellen door de inzet van Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Hierdoor krijgen recruiters inzicht in het 'waarom' achter een specifieke match, wat zorgt voor een betrouwbaarder selectieproces.
Met dit project wordt een technisch concept opgeleverd dat aantoont hoe een dergelijk framework geïmplementeerd kan worden binnen de bestaande ICT-architectuur. Hiermee wil ik laten zien hoe recruitmenttechnologie kan innoveren door direct bij te dragen aan een inclusievere en transparantere arbeidsmarkt.

Infrastructure Opzetten en Valideren van een Talos/Kubernetes Testcluster voor Architectuurherziening binnen het NOC

Title: Opzetten en Valideren van een Talos/Kubernetes Testcluster voor Architectuurherziening binnen het NOC Description:

Project Samenvatting
Dit afstudeerproject is uitgevoerd bij Simac IT NL, een IT-dienstverlener die organisaties ondersteunt bij het ontwerpen, implementeren en beheren van complexe IT-infrastructuren en cloudomgevingen. Binnen Simac speelt het Network Operations Center (NOC) een centrale rol in het monitoren en beheren van klantomgevingen, waarbij hoge eisen gelden voor beschikbaarheid, schaalbaarheid en beveiliging.
Het NOC maakt gebruik van een containerplatform gebaseerd op Kubernetes en Talos OS. Dit platform is oorspronkelijk opgezet als proof-of-concept, maar uitgegroeid tot een productieomgeving waarin meerdere klantnetwerken worden ontsloten. Door deze groei voldoet de architectuur niet langer aan de huidige eisen. Het project richt zich op het ontwerpen en realiseren van een toekomstbestendige testomgeving die als basis dient voor een robuuster platform.

Probleemstelling
Het huidige Kubernetes-platform werd ontworpen als proof-of-concept, maar fungeert inmiddels als productieomgeving voor meerdere klantnetwerken. Hierdoor zijn technische en organisatorische knelpunten ontstaan. Klantnetwerken gebruiken soms overlappende IP-adressen, wat de netwerkarchitectuur compliceert. De netwerksegmentatie is daarnaast beperkt, waardoor per klant een aparte worker node moet worden ingezet om te voorkomen dat containerapplicaties onbedoeld toegang krijgen tot meerdere klantomgevingen. Dit verhoogt zowel de operationele complexiteit als de securityrisico's. Met de groei van het aantal aangesloten klanten wordt het steeds moeilijker het platform veilig en beheersbaar te houden, waardoor herziening van de architectuur noodzakelijk is.

Onderzoeksdoel
Het doel is het ontwerpen en realiseren van een nieuwe Kubernetes-gebaseerde testomgeving die een schaalbare, veilige en beheersbare architectuur biedt voor het verbinden van containerapplicaties met meerdere klantnetwerken. Daarbij wordt gekeken naar oplossingen voor betere netwerkisolatie, het voorkomen van IP-conflicten en het vereenvoudigen van platformbeheer. De omgeving moet geschikt zijn om door te groeien naar honderden klantnetwerken. Het eindresultaat is een gevalideerde architectuur en werkende testomgeving die als basis dient voor toekomstige migratie van de productieomgeving.

User Interaction Klantdashboard voor inzicht in Mobile App Performance

Title: Klantdashboard voor inzicht in Mobile App Performance Description:

Stel je voor: je laat een app bouwen, die wordt opgeleverd, en daarna weet je eigenlijk niet meer wat er met je product gebeurt. Hoeveel mensen gebruiken het? Zijn er crashes? Welke versie is er live? Voor klanten van Apperium ontbrak hiervoor simpelweg een oplossing.

Apperium is een mobile development agency in 's-Hertogenbosch dat custom apps bouwt voor uiteenlopende bedrijven. Na oplevering van een app was er geen centrale plek waar klanten zelfstandig konden zien hoe hun applicatie presteerde. Wilden ze dat weten, dan moesten ze het opvragen en moest een developer handmatig data uit meerdere systemen bij elkaar zoeken.

Voor mijn afstudeerstage bij Apperium heb ik dit probleem van begin tot eind aangepakt. Het resultaat: een webdashboard waarop klanten zelfstandig inzicht krijgen in de prestaties van hun app. Denk hierbij aan het aantal actieve gebruikers, crashpercentages, stabiliteitstrends en de huidige versies. Alles overzichtelijk op één plek, zonder dat ze Apperium hoeven te bellen.

Achter het dashboard schuilt een backend die data uit onder andere Firebase en Sentry samenbrengt en veilig beschikbaar maakt. Iedere klant ziet uitsluitend de data van zijn eigen applicatie. Privacy en veiligheid zijn geen bijzaak, maar een uitgangspunt.

Het project omvatte het volledige traject van analyse tot realisatie: van stakeholderonderzoek en interviews tot wireframes, een gevalideerd UI-ontwerp en een werkend proof-of-concept. Daarmee draagt het dashboard bij aan meer transparantie voor klanten, minder handmatig werk voor Apperium, en een fundament waarop het bedrijf verder kan bouwen.

Software XBRL analyse & comparison tool

Title: XBRL analyse & comparison tool Description:

Context:
F19 is a software company that provides a CMS system for their paying customers. With this CMS system, customers can create their yearly or quarterly rapport using the XBRL format. This format got enforced by the Dutch government in January of 2025. The CMS system that F19 delivers, provides the functionality to tag different financial concepts and to link them to different statements within for example XML or XHTML document. F19 has been certified by https://software.xbrl.org and thus they are eligible for creating this kind of software.

Opportunity:
During my graduation internship i was tasked to research the extensiveness of XBRL reporting. F19 is interested to know what other capabilities this format has other than writing an yearly report in a structured manner. This required extensive research into the format itself and the different ways financial data can be represented, compared, and processed within software applications.

Assignment:
F19 wants to seek out more opportunities regarding the XBRL format. F19 primarily focusses on the creating of these yearly rapports but they see opportunities to compare different XBRL rapports with each other. These could be rapports that look back from previous years to compare them with the current state of the company or these could be rapports that are compared with other companies from the same industry. The goal is to be able to easily extract comparable facts from large reports that are of interest to consumer software used by the designated company itself.

Infrastructure Cloud Sovereignty: Managed Kubernetes on EU Infrastructure

Title: Cloud Sovereignty: Managed Kubernetes on EU Infrastructure Description:

As European data protection regulation tightens and dependency on US hyperscalers draws increasing scrutiny, organizations are re-evaluating where and how they run their cloud workloads. This project explores a practical response to that challenge: a managed Kubernetes platform built entirely on Hetzner Cloud (a GDPR-compliant, EU-based infrastructure provider) and delivered through portable, cloud-agnostic Infrastructure-as-Code practices.
Developed as part of a graduation internship at Vodafone Intelligent Solutions (VOIS), the platform provisions a hardened k3s cluster on private Hetzner networking, with MicroOS-based immutable nodes, Cilium as the CNI, Traefik as the ingress controller, cert-manager for automated TLS, and a full GitOps delivery pipeline via Argo CD. The architecture incorporates strict security measures for compliance, enhanced auditing and monitoring capabilities, as well as a built-in cost tracking solution. The entire lifecycle is driven by Terraform, ArgoCD and GitHub Actions CI/CD, with zero manual intervention required.
The project demonstrates that sovereign, EU-resident infrastructure does not require sacrificing engineering maturity. By structuring Terraform modules around cloud-agnostic contracts and separating infrastructure concerns from Kubernetes-level configuration, the solution remains portable across providers while giving engineers a familiar, consistent workflow aligned with industry best practices. A structured usability evaluation confirmed that an engineer experienced with Terraform on AWS or GCP could provision the full platform end-to-end in under 25 minutes.
The outcome is a reusable blueprint to extend beyond hyperscaler lock-in and represents a step toward infrastructure sovereignty that is operationally sound, reproducible, idempotent and deterministic.

Organisational Processes Embedding process governance and process analytics at Ennatuurlijk

Title: Embedding process governance and process analytics at Ennatuurlijk Description:

At Ennatuurlijk, process management and internal governance play an important role in supporting reliable operations, compliance, and risk management. Although a process management policy had already been established, the organisation experienced challenges in consistently applying this policy across departments and creating clear ownership within the business.

This graduation project focuses on implementing and embedding a sustainable process management approach within the organisation. The project includes analysing the current way of working, translating policy into a practical governance structure, and supporting process owners in documenting and maintaining processes within Zenya.

In addition to process governance, the project also introduces a data-driven component through the development of a process analytics dashboard. This dashboard provides management and stakeholders with insights into the status, ownership, quality, and progress of business processes. By visualising process-related KPIs and governance information, the dashboard supports monitoring, reporting, and decision-making within the organisation.

The project combines process management, risk governance, business adoption, and data analytics to create a more structured and transparent process environment. The final result contributes to improved ownership, better insight into organisational processes, and stronger support for continuous improvement and internal control.

User Interaction Open Desktop Homepage voor Social Deal

Title: Open Desktop Homepage voor Social Deal Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Social Deal heb ik de desktop homepage herontworpen om de verplichte "login-wall" te verwijderen. Momenteel worden bezoekers gedwongen een account aan te maken voordat ze deals kunnen bekijken. Mijn data-analyse toonde aan dat deze barrière zorgt voor een 3x zo'n hoge drop-off rate ten opzichte van met mobiel en tablet. De uitdaging was om een "open" homepage te ontwerpen die de gebruikerservaring verbetert, zonder de essentiële nieuwe registraties voor de business te verliezen.

Door middel van gebruikerstesten ontdekte ik dat mensen niet per se tegen registreren zijn, maar dat ze dit weigeren voordat ze de daadwerkelijke waarde van het platform hebben gezien. Op basis van dit inzicht heb ik de ontwerpstrategie veranderd van het afdwingen van een login naar het overtuigen van gebruikers via contextuele triggers. Ik ontwierp een volledig nieuwe interface met een interactieve Video Header en een Floating Action Button, die gebruikers pas uitnodigen om zich te registreren nadat ze vrij de deals hebben kunnen verkennen.

Om deze nieuwe aanpak te valideren, heb ik een high-fidelity prototype gebouwd en dit via een A/B-test getoetst tegenover de huidige live-site. Uiteindelijk bewijst dit project dat een transparante user experience en sterke commerciële doelstellingen perfect hand in hand kunnen gaan.

Hardware Interfacing VWC GEN. 2 - FPGA Fractal Accelerator

Title: VWC GEN. 2 - FPGA Fractal Accelerator Description:

This graduation project is conducted at TOPIC Embedded Systems and focuses on developing a real-time Mandelbrot zoom demonstrator using the AMD U55C accelerator. The goal of the project is to visually showcase the computational power of the accelerator by calculating Mandelbrot frames live, instead of relying on pre-computed images.

The project involves building the demonstrator from the ground up. This includes gaining knowledge of FPGA development and High-Level Synthesis (HLS), setting up the hardware and toolchain, defining the system architecture, and developing a host application that communicates with the U55C through XRT. The host application is responsible for controlling the zooming process, sending input parameters to the accelerator, retrieving computed image data, and displaying the result.

After establishing a working baseline implementation, the project focuses on improving performance through HLS-based optimization techniques and C/C++ code restructuring. These optimizations aim to increase the amount of computation performed in parallel on the accelerator, with the objective of moving toward 60 FPS real-time rendering.

The final deliverable is a working proof of concept that demonstrates live Mandelbrot computation on the U55C, supported by benchmark results, technical documentation, and an evaluation of the applied optimization strategies. The project contributes to future development of the Video Wall Controller demonstrator by providing both a functional implementation and practical knowledge on using HLS to exploit the computational capabilities of FPGA-based acceleration hardware.

Organisational Processes Order Quality Control Framework (OQCF): Towards First Time Right Ordering at Leolux

Title: Order Quality Control Framework (OQCF): Towards First Time Right Ordering at Leolux Description:

Leolux is a Dutch manufacturer of high-end design furniture operating in a complex make-to-order environment. Every order is customer-specific and passes through multiple stakeholders, systems and decision points before reaching production. Research conducted in a previous semester showed that a significant share of operational inefficiencies originates from incomplete, inconsistent or incorrect order data. Errors are often detected late in the process, resulting in manual corrections, increased workload and reduced predictability.

This graduation project focuses on designing and validating an Order Quality Control Framework (OQCF): a governance-driven framework that explicitly defines what constitutes a “good order” and how order quality can be assured as early as possible in the process. The framework combines data standards, validation rules, process controls, governance structures and performance indicators into one integrated approach.

The research follows a Design-Oriented Research approach and builds on an enterprise architecture developed during Semester 7. That architecture identified “Order Validation & Intake” as a critical capability for improving the predictability and scalability of Leolux’s commercial value chain.

To validate the design, a Proof of Concept is developed using realistic order scenarios. The PoC demonstrates how rule-based validation can detect structural order errors, support decision-making and improve overall order quality before orders enter downstream systems and production. Success is measured by the framework’s ability to detect at least 80% of identified structural error types while remaining practical and applicable within the existing organization.

The result is not a technical implementation, but a scalable foundation that helps Leolux reduce errors, improve data quality and create a more predictable and future-ready order process.

Organisational Processes Governance and Onboarding Process Implementation for CitizenCity

Title: Governance and Onboarding Process Implementation for CitizenCity Description:

There are two main assignments for this project. The first objective of this project is to design and formalize the governance setup for the Inzicht-Verlicht use case, based on the DSSC (Data Spaces Support Centre., 2025) and DS4SSCC blueprints (Sepp, 2025). This will be achieved by applying these frameworks to the specific context of the Inzicht-Verlicht use case, while simultaneously validating and refining the foundational governance setup developed during the previous project period. The main deliverables of this objective are a research document addressing governance in dataspaces within the context of smart cities and communities, as well as supporting diagrams that clearly communicate the governance setup to relevant stakeholders.

The secondary objective of this project is to develop a conceptual onboarding process that is fully aligned with the established governance setup. The purpose of this onboarding process is to enable participants to join and use the dataspace in a secure, compliant, and standardized manner. This objective will be realized by evaluating and improving the onboarding process designed in the previous project period. The main deliverable will be a comprehensive explanatory document that serves as a guide or manual for stakeholders responsible for the technical implementation of the onboarding process, these stakeholders being students and researchers from Fontys ICT. Assisting these stakeholders implement the onboarding process will be part of the scope as well.

Software Research and Development of an upgraded Power BI Dashboard Portal for BDO

Title: Research and Development of an upgraded Power BI Dashboard Portal for BDO Description:

BDO, an international financing company, uses Power BI to quickly show important financial data to analysts and customers. Before my internship they used an outdated Dashboard Portal to do this. However, this older portal had some drawbacks; there was no way to pin/favourite frequently used dashboards, users couldn't search for the dashboard that they required, Row-Level Security was difficult to implement, and some Power BI Automate features were unavailable.

My internship was focused on researching the current shortcomings of the existing portal and to give advice to the Digital Solutions Team based on my findings. After a technical analysis, user interviews, stakeholder prioritization sessions and research into Power BI I concluded that it would be best to create an entirely new, custom solution using newer .NET 10 LTS and Azure Landing Zone (Cloud Service) technologies.

I was able to provide new, and much wanted, features such as the ability to pin/favourite dashboards that users frequently used. A search bar that allowed users to quickly get to the data/dashboards that they needed for their work. And using standard Power BI wrappers, the Power BI automate system worked as well. Another big item was Row-Level Security, the ability to show or hide certain data based on a user’s role. I was able to implement this using Power BI’s internal RLS system that integrates flawlessly with other Microsoft services, such as Azure.

The last piece of the puzzle was to deploy the newer application to Azure Landing Zone, a cloud service. The application is being monitored using Health Checks and Azure Application Insights, which allows developers to debug and fix problems much faster than conventional methods. This all, is in line with BDO’s migration to the newer Azure platform.

Software Integration of external tool for LMS content creation

Title: Integration of external tool for LMS content creation Description:

Teachers who use LearningBox currently have to build course content in a separate tool, export it, then import it manually. Functional, but slow and error-prone.

This project closes that gap. The integration lets course creators write and edit lesson content directly inside LearningBox, without switching applications. Under the hood, LearningBox calls the Author-e Suite Web API to create, update, and package content as a SCORM file, which then gets launched through LearningBox's existing mechanisms.

The editing interface is built natively into LearningBox, keeping the experience visually consistent with the rest of the platform. Content is structured around cards, each composed of typed blocks: rich text, LaTeX formulas rendered via MathJax, and interactive questions supporting multiple-choice, open-answer, and numeric-range formats. Teachers can switch between a scroll view and a card-by-card flip view, and preview their content exactly as a learner would see it, all without leaving the editor.

The frontend is built in Blazor, with the backend handling orchestration, authorisation, and all communication with the Author-e Suite Web API. The feature ships with full Dutch and English localization and integrates with the platform's existing logging infrastructure.

The integration covers the full content lifecycle: creating a lesson, editing it, publishing it as a SCORM package, and making it launchable for learners. Key design decisions, around lifecycle states, how Draft and Published content diverge, versioning on republish, and where rendering responsibility sits, are documented as part of the project.

Software Development of a Sales Dashboard for Data-Driven Decision Making at Kompany B.V.

Title: Development of a Sales Dashboard for Data-Driven Decision Making at Kompany B.V. Description:

The primary objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive, interactive, data-driven sales dashboard that empowers the sales department of Kompany B.V. in their daily commercial decision-making. The dashboard is designed to maximize sales performance and deliver measurable value to the affiliated growers of Cooperation Kompany.

To achieve this, data is collected from a wide range of disparate files and data sources, and consolidated into a singular, unified data structure, a star schema. This foundation enables seamless integration with Power BI, facilitating the creation of targeted, interactive dashboards tailored to the specific needs of the sales team.

A key challenge of the project lies in ensuring data integrity throughout the entire pipeline, validating that all captured data is handled cleanly, verified for accuracy, and securely transported across each stage of the data lifecycle.

The main innovation within this project is the application of artificial intelligence in the form of a screen-reading module, which captures real-time data directly from a live interface. This enables the system to process and integrate up-to-date information dynamically, bridging the gap between real-time operations and structured data analytics.

Software Automated Segmentation of Strong Gravitational Lenses in Euclid Space Telescope Data

Title: Automated Segmentation of Strong Gravitational Lenses in Euclid Space Telescope Data Description:

The Euclid Space Telescope was launched by the European Space Agency to create the largest map of the observable universe to date. It will observe billions of galaxies, and among them a small number will show strong gravitational lensing. This happens when a massive foreground galaxy bends the light from a galaxy behind it, which distorts the image. These systems are useful for studying things like dark matter, dark energy and galaxy evolution, but the massive volume of Euclid data makes it impossible to analyze them all manually.

For my graduation project, I built AstroVink-Segmentation, a deep learning model that segments strong gravitational lens systems in Euclid images captured by the optical VIS instrument. Instead of just detecting whether a lens is there or not, the model separates the image into the lensing galaxy, the lensed background source, and any other objects seen in the image. This matters because astronomers need these components isolated before they can do any physical modeling of the system.

The model uses a hybrid machine learning architecture combining transformers as used in large language models with convolutional layers to extract pixel level data. It was trained on samples from Euclid's first data release.

The project also included the development of an interactive validation tool, which helped classify hundreds of outputs by a large group of strong lensing experts, giving more insights into common failure modes and fractions of success. The results have proven to be extremely promising for the upcoming data releases and publication of a key project paper within ESA.

Organisational Processes Improving the Maintenance Process for a Document Management System in a Large Logistics Company

Title: Improving the Maintenance Process for a Document Management System in a Large Logistics Company Description:

This project focused on improving and updating the existing document management system (DMS) used within the Cargo Control Center (CCC) of KLM Cargo.

However, further research showed that the main issue was not particularly the condition of the DMS, but mainly the absence of a clearly defined process and assigned responsibility of the product.

Because the CCC works with hybrid-professionals whose primary focus lie elsewhere, no dedicated IT ownership or structure was put in place. As a result, the DMS had not been reviewed for several years. Alongside this many pages had become cluttered with outdated and unnecessary information.

Through a problem analysis and a root cause analysis, this project identified the underlying cause of these issues. The problem is mainly organisational than purely technical. Without clear ownership and assigned responsibilities, any improvements made to the DMS will only be temporary.

Therefore, this project goes beyond revising a system. It proposes a more sustainable and controlled maintenance approach, including recommendations and implementation proposals to help prevent the same issue from occurring in the future. In this way the project contributes to a more reliable and manageable process within the organisation.

Infrastructure Research and Realization of Reusable Deployment Components (Terraform)

Title: Research and Realization of Reusable Deployment Components (Terraform) Description:

This graduation project focuses on making cloud infrastructure at Enexis more secure, consistent and efficient by introducing reusable Terraform modules and self service deployment.
Today, around 120 product teams provision their own AWS and Azure resources. Although they all use Infrastructure as Code, many teams still solve the same problems in slightly different ways. This leads to duplicated work, inconsistent security and configuration, and a high cognitive load for engineers who repeatedly have to implement similar “plumbing” code.
To address this, the project delivers three mission critical, reusable deployment components:
• an S3 module with enforced encryption, blocked public access, logging and lifecycle rules;
• an EC2 module that standardizes instances with security groups, KMS based disk encryption, tagging and monitoring;
• an Application Load Balancer (ALB) module with opinionated HTTPS/TLS defaults, logging and routing patterns.

These modules are designed as secure by default building blocks, following Terraform best practices and Enexis security policies. They are integrated into the existing CI/CD pipelines and published in the Backstage Developer Portal, so teams can consume them via self service templates instead of reinventing them in every project.
The impact of this work is threefold:
1. Higher security and compliance
Sensitive patterns (storage, compute, ingress) now come with enforced secure defaults and uniform tagging, reducing the risk of misconfiguration.
2. Less boilerplate, more focus on business value
Engineers spend less time on repetitive infrastructure code and can focus on application logic and domain specific problems.
3. Scalable, maintainable infrastructure landscape

By centralizing patterns in shared modules with versioning, testing and changelogs, Enexis can roll out improvements (e.g. security fixes) once and benefit across dozens of teams.
In short, the project turns common infrastructure patterns into standard, self service components that make cloud development at Enexis safer, faster and easier to maintain.

Organisational Processes Development of Standard Reports for Service Management

Title: Development of Standard Reports for Service Management Description:

The graduation project ‘Development of Standard Reports for Service Management’ is being carried out within the Business Solutions team at ACA IT-Solutions and focuses on strengthening data-driven decision-making within organisations. Within the current service offering, the emphasis is primarily on the implementation of systems such as Dynamics 365 Business Central and Power BI, whilst reports and management information are still limited and mainly used on request. As a result, the potential added value of data analysis remains underutilised.

This project addresses this by investigating how standard reports specifically for the service management sector can be developed and systematically integrated into the service offering. The aim is to provide insights into performance, risks and commercial opportunities, enabling organisations to better manage their service delivery. At the same time, these reports should contribute to lead generation and the strengthening of ACA IT-Solutions’ Business Solutions offering.

The end result is a substantiated prototype of a standard report for service management. This report focuses on providing insight into relevant KPIs and management information, enabling organisations to analyse and improve their performance. In addition, the project provides a solid foundation for the further deployment of standardised reports as part of data-driven service provision within Business Solutions.

Infrastructure Ontwerp en Realisatie van een Geïntegreerde en Geautomatiseerde Vulnerability Scanservice voor de IT-Auditpraktijk

Title: Ontwerp en Realisatie van een Geïntegreerde en Geautomatiseerde Vulnerability Scanservice voor de IT-Auditpraktijk Description:

Binnen de IT-audit- en cybersecuritypraktijk van Diggle is er een groeiende behoefte aan gestandaardiseerde vulnerability scans. Door strengere wetgeving (zoals de NIS2 en de AVG) eisen klanten steeds vaker herleidbare bewijslast over hun digitale veiligheid. Veel bestaande MSSP-oplossingen in de markt werken echter als een 'black-box'. Dit belemmert IT-auditoren in het afgeven van zekerheid (assurance) en het lokaal houden van gevoelige klantinformatie (data-soevereiniteit).

Dit afstudeerproject richte zich op het ontwerpen en realiseren van een professionele, geautomatiseerde vulnerability scanservice. Om het huidige incidentele en handmatige proces te vervangen, is een modulaire toolchain ontwikkeld. Deze 'Orchestrator', gebouwd met Python en het asynchrone FastAPI-framework, stroomlijnt de integratie van discovery, scanning en audit-logging. Cruciaal is dat de uitvoering lokaal en veilig plaatsvindt.

De applicatie normaliseert de technische scanner-output naar één uniform rapport en objectiveert de risico's via de internationale CVSS-standaard. Hierdoor ontstaat een begrijpelijke rapportage met een heldere risicoscoring en concreet advies. Het resultaat is een reproduceerbare en schaalbare dienst waarmee de consultants van Diggle hun klanten transparant en efficiënt 'in control' brengen, zonder de regie over de data te verliezen

Software Een dashboard voor heldere informatievoorziening in de zorg

Title: Een dashboard voor heldere informatievoorziening in de zorg Description:

CLB en Centillien hebben de afgelopen jaren verschillende technologieën in de zorgmarkt gebracht, waaronder auditieve en videobewaking voor de ouderenzorg en de ggz. Deze technologieën ondersteunen zorgmedewerkers bij het monitoren van cliënten en dragen bij aan een veiligere en efficiëntere zorgomgeving. Op dit moment bestaat er een webapplicatie waarin klanten de camerabeelden van hun afdelingen kunnen inzien. Hoewel deze applicatie voorziet in de basisbehoefte van directe observatie, blijkt uit gesprekken met klanten dat er behoefte is aan meer overzicht en context.

Vanuit deze klantvraag is het idee ontstaan om een nieuwe pagina te ontwikkelen waarop zorgmedewerkers de totale situatie van een afdeling in één oogopslag kunnen overzien. In plaats van losse camerabeelden afzonderlijk te bekijken, krijgen medewerkers zo direct inzicht in wat er op de afdeling speelt. Dit bespaart tijd en stelt hen in staat sneller te reageren op situaties die aandacht vragen.

Daarnaast is er de wens om binnen deze pagina ook de historie te kunnen raadplegen. Door terug te kijken in eerdere data kunnen zorgmedewerkers patronen herkennen, bijvoorbeeld in onrust, valincidenten of slaapgedrag van cliënten. Op basis van deze inzichten kunnen zij gerichter acteren en de zorg beter afstemmen op de individuele behoeften van bewoners.

User Interaction De juiste Vodafone Business-producten vinden voor het MKB

Title: De juiste Vodafone Business-producten vinden voor het MKB Description:

Kleine en middelgrote MKB bedrijven hebben vaak moeite om te begrijpen welke digitale en connectiviteitsproducten passen bij hun organisatie. Vodafone Business biedt veel verschillende producten, maar tijdens de oriëntatiefase kunnen gebruikers te maken krijgen met een overload aan informatie, onduidelijke navigatie en moeite met het vergelijken van producten. Hierdoor wordt het lastiger om het productportfolio met vertrouwen te verkennen en producten te vinden die passen bij hun bedrijfssituatie.

In dit afstudeerproject onderzoek ik hoe een digitale ervaring MKB’ers kan helpen om het productportfolio van Vodafone Business beter te vinden, begrijpen en verkennen. Het project richt zich op het verbeteren van de oriëntatiefase door gebruiksgerichte concepten te ontwerpen die besluitvorming op een toegankelijke en betrouwbare manier ondersteunen.

Het onderzoek combineert verschillende UX-onderzoeksmethoden, waaronder deskresearch, surveys, gebruikersinterviews, usability testing en conceptvalidatie. Op basis van inzichten zijn meerdere interactieve concepten ontworpen en getest met gebruikers. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn een gepersonaliseerde ervaring, dynamische use cases en oriëntatieflows die gebruikers begeleiden op basis van hun behoeften en bedrijfscontext.

Het doel van het project is niet alleen om de gebruiksvriendelijkheid te verbeteren, maar ook om een ervaring te creëren die verdere verkenning stimuleert, vertrouwen vergroot en langdurige betrokkenheid bij Vodafone Business ondersteunt. Tijdens de conferentie presenteer ik het onderzoeksproces, de belangrijkste inzichten, prototypes en de lessen die zijn geleerd uit het testen van deze concepten met echte gebruikers.

Infrastructure OT Security Improvement & Integration

Title: OT Security Improvement & Integration Description:

This graduation project is carried out at the Municipality of Maastricht within the Information & Automation (I&A) department. The project focuses on improving the security of Operational Technology (OT) systems used throughout the municipality.

The municipality uses various OT systems, such as traffic control installations, cameras, smart lighting, building management systems and other connected devices. These systems are important for the daily operation of the city and municipal buildings. Currently, there is limited insight into the security, monitoring and management of these OT systems, and they are not always well connected to existing IT security processes.

The goal of this project is to improve the security of the OT environment in a structured and practical way and better align it with the existing IT security processes within the organization.

During the project, interviews and analyses are conducted to identify the most important OT systems and related risks. Based on this research, several professional products are created, including:

- An OT overview and OT register
- A risk analysis
- A vendor security questionnaire
- A penetration testing approach
- A SIEM integration plan
- An OT security policy and process description

The project also investigates how OT monitoring and logging can be integrated into the existing Rapid7 monitoring environment of the municipality.

Software Design and implementation of an AI-assisted onboarding for Serena

Title: Design and implementation of an AI-assisted onboarding for Serena Description:

Modern recruitment platforms are becoming increasingly complex due to integrations, feature configurations, and onboarding dependencies. During my graduation project at Getnoticed, I researched and developed an AI-assisted onboarding solution for Serena, the company’s recruitment CMS platform.

The goal of the project is to reduce onboarding complexity and improve the time-to-value for customers by integrating an AI assistant directly into Serena. The assistant can guide users through onboarding tasks, explain platform concepts, retrieve configuration information, and safely perform actions inside the system through controlled tool-calling.

The project combines research and implementation. I investigated onboarding patterns used by platforms such as Stripe and Shopify, researched agentic AI architectures and enterprise AI integration patterns, and translated these findings into a secure and maintainable architecture for Serena. The implementation includes a live AI chat assistant, secure JWT-based AI communication, CI/CD pipelines, and a production-oriented deployment setup.

A key focus of the project is balancing AI capabilities with control, security, and explainability. Instead of allowing unrestricted AI autonomy, Serena remains the source of truth for permissions, validation, and execution.

The project demonstrates how AI can support complex enterprise onboarding processes in a practical, safe, and scalable way.

User Interaction UX-optimalisatie & redesign webshop

Title: UX-optimalisatie & redesign webshop Description:

Dit project heb ik uitgevoerd tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij WebWorx en richt zich op het redesignen van de mobiele webshopervaring van Monsieur Saucisson. Dit is een delicatessen webshop gespecialiseerd in ambachtelijke droge worsten, premium borrelproducten en cadeaupakketten. Het doel van het project is om frictie in de aankoopfunnel te verminderen en een duidelijkere en gebruiksvriendelijkere ervaring te creëren die beter aansluit bij de verwachtingen van de doelgroep, om uiteindelijke de conversieratio te verhogen.

Door middel van GA4-analyses, usability tests, interviews, competitor research en Trustpilot reviews zijn de belangrijkste knelpunten van de huidige webshop achterhaald. Deze inzichten zijn vervolgens vertaald naar concrete vereisten, wireframes en uiteindelijk een volledig vernieuwd high-fidelity design in Figma. Om het ontwerp realistischer te kunnen testen, is het prototype met behulp van AI-assisted prototyping volledig functioneel gemaakt, inclusief interactieve onderdelen zoals filters, winkelwagenfunctionaliteit en klikbare flows.

Na usability tests met de doelgroep zijn iteraties en verbeteringen doorgevoerd om de ervaring nog meer te optimaliseren. Het eindresultaat is een interactief en testbaar prototype dat laat zien hoe UX-research, UI-design en AI-assisted prototyping gecombineerd kunnen worden binnen een modern redesignproces.

Software Scaling an Event Processing System: Multi-Instance Architecture

Title: Scaling an Event Processing System: Multi-Instance Architecture Description:

This project is about taking a backend system from prototype to a scalable application. The platform, built by Debugged, uses IoT sensors to monitor pest activity and hygiene conditions on livestock farms. The event processing system powering it was built with Apache Kafka, Golang and Goka, and while it worked well as a proof of concept, it was never ready for actual production use. No fault tolerance, no way to scale across multiple instances, and none of the observability tooling a real production system needs.

The central question driving the project is: how can this system be transformed into something scalable and fault-tolerant, where scheduled tasks like reports and alerts are guaranteed to run exactly once, even when multiple instances are active at the same time?
To answer that, the project covers several interconnected challenges. Getting Kafka consumer groups configured correctly so load is distributed properly. Implementing a distributed task coordinator that prevents duplicate or missed executions. Adding graceful shutdown and startup handling so the system can recover from crashes without losing data. And building out a monitoring stack, so the team at Debugged can actually see what the system is doing.

The goal is a system that the client can eventually rely on for real-time farm monitoring at scale.

Software Automatisering van vragenlijsten binnen Oscar ECD

Title: Automatisering van vragenlijsten binnen Oscar ECD Description:

Binnen de geestelijke gezondheidszorg worden vragenlijsten gebruikt ter ondersteuning van behandeltrajecten, monitoring en kwaliteitsborging. In de praktijk worden deze echter niet altijd op het juiste moment verstuurd of soms vergeten, doordat de planning grotendeels handmatig verloopt. Dit kan invloed hebben op behandelprocessen en het tijdig verzamelen van belangrijke informatie.

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage is onderzocht hoe een configureerbaar automatiseringssysteem binnen het Oscar Elektronisch Cliëntendossier (ECD) ontworpen en gerealiseerd kon worden, waarmee vooraf ingestelde vragenlijsten automatisch gepland en verzonden worden tijdens behandeltrajecten. Hierbij behouden zorgprofessionals controle over timing en instellingen, terwijl handmatige verzending via de bestaande werkwijze mogelijk blijft wanneer dat nodig is.

Binnen dit project stonden verschillende technische en functionele uitdagingen centraal. De oplossing moest flexibel configureerbaar zijn per zorglijn en geïntegreerd worden binnen de bestaande architectuur van Oscar, waarbij samen word gewerkt met bestaande systemen voor vragenlijstverwerking en verzending. Daarnaast werd er rekening gehouden met betrouwbaarheid, onderhoudbaarheid en schaalbaarheid, passend binnen een zorgomgeving.

Het doel van deze opdracht was om te onderzoeken hoe een toekomstbestendige en gebruiksvriendelijke oplossing gerealiseerd kon worden die administratieve handelingen vermindert en het risico verkleint dat vragenlijsten vergeten worden of niet op het juiste moment verstuurd worden.

Software Software Application for Automated Electron Microscopy

Title: Software Application for Automated Electron Microscopy Description:

Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) let materials scientists study matter at the atomic scale, and one of the most powerful techniques they support is quantitative Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (q-EELS) - the measurement of energy lost by electrons as they pass through a sample, mapped across orientation. At a leading scientific-instrument company in Eindhoven, a researcher built a Python prototype that automates the full q-EELS tilt-series workflow. The prototype works, but it lives inside Jupyter notebooks: operators must edit Python dictionaries and run code cells to drive the microscope. That excludes the very people the tool was built for materials scientists who are domain experts but not programmers.

This graduation project designs, builds, and validates a graphical user interface that turns the notebook-bound prototype into an accessible operator-facing application. The result is a web application (React frontend, Python/FastAPI backend) that guides an operator through the full q-EELS workflow session setup, diffraction acquisition, reciprocal-space indexing, EELS configuration, acquisition planning, execution, and export with real-time visualisation, parameter validation, and an interactive calibration wizard. The system stays fully compatible with the vendor's microscope-control SDK, and a demo mode lets it run end-to-end without hardware so training and usability sessions never compete for time on a production microscope.

The research follows Fontys ICT's DOT framework across five sub-challenges: requirements analysis, framework selection (desktop vs. web-stack), architecture and integration design, UI/UX research based on the law of UX schemas, code-quality refactoring of the original prototype, and usability validation with real TEM operators using think-aloud sessions and the System Usability Scale.

Hardware Interfacing Hardware-Accelerated UDP/IP Communication for FPGA-Based Video Streaming

Title: Hardware-Accelerated UDP/IP Communication for FPGA-Based Video Streaming Description:

This graduation project focuses on the integration and optimization of a UDP/IP networking stack within FPGA fabric for a real-time video wall controller. The project explores how hardware-accelerated Ethernet communication can improve the performance, scalability, and determinism of large-scale display systems.

Rather than developing the network stack entirely from scratch, the work centers on adapting and integrating an existing FPGA-based UDP/IP implementation into a broader video processing architecture. The project involves configuring communication interfaces, validating protocol behavior, and optimizing data flow between the networking subsystem and the video wall controller pipeline.

By handling Ethernet, IP, and UDP communication directly in programmable logic, the system reduces latency and minimizes processor overhead compared to traditional software-based networking approaches. This is especially important in video wall environments where synchronization, reliability, and continuous high-throughput data transfer are critical.

The project also evaluates system performance, FPGA resource usage, and stability under real-time operating conditions. The resulting implementation demonstrates how FPGA-based networking solutions can contribute to efficient and scalable multimedia systems for professional display applications.

Software Generic Human-in-the-Loop verificatiemodule voor AI Agents

Title: Generic Human-in-the-Loop verificatiemodule voor AI Agents Description:

The HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) system sits between AI and business decisions. When a company needs the AI to perform an action, like selecting transport partners for a fleet of vehicles, enriching customer data, or composing a sales list — it doesn't let the AI act alone. Instead, the AI generates a proposal, a human operator reviews it, and only then is the decision confirmed.

The system supports the full review cycle: the operator can accept the AI's suggestion as-is, manually edit individual fields before accepting, ask the AI to refine its proposal based on feedback, or reject it entirely with a reason. Every action, from the moment the AI is triggered to the final accept or reject, is captured in a tamper-evident audit trail, so there is always a clear record of what the AI recommended and what the human decided.

The backend is built in ASP.NET Core following Clean Architecture, with MediatR handling commands and queries. The frontend is a React application that can run standalone or be embedded as a Web Component inside any host application. The AI layer is pluggable — different agents handle different use cases, and the system is configured to route to the right one automatically.

The core value in this project is accountability: businesses get the speed and consistency of AI, but retain human control over every consequential decision, with a full audit trail that satisfies compliance requirements.

Organisational Processes Automated legislative monitoring

Title: Automated legislative monitoring Description:

Municipalities deal with a constant flow of new and changing laws and regulations. Manually tracking all these documents, parliamentary papers, and European directives is highly time-consuming. Furthermore, there is a significant risk that important actions or deadlines might be overlooked. To address this issue, an automated IT solution was designed and implemented for the Municipality of Someren.

This graduation project automatizes the process from start to finish. Through automated workflows (Microsoft Power Automate), new legislative changes are directly retrieved from reliable government websites and neatly structured within a central database (SharePoint). To make the process even more efficient for employees, an optional AI functionality has been integrated that can automatically summarize lengthy legal texts.

However, human expertise remains central to the process. Through a user-friendly interface, a legal expert reviews the incoming laws and determines the definitive follow-up action (the 'Human-in-the-loop' principle). Finally, all this up-to-date data is visualized in an interactive dashboard (Power BI).

As a result, management can see at a glance which laws impact the organization, which tasks are currently open, and which deadlines are approaching. This project demonstrates how local governments can work more efficiently, improve data quality, and maintain full control over important legislative changes through smart automation.

Organisational Processes Efficiënter rapporteren: standaardisatie als basis voor automatisering

Title: Efficiënter rapporteren: standaardisatie als basis voor automatisering Description:

Bij AMEXIO is het opstellen van maandelijkse klantrapportages momenteel een handmatig en tijdrovend proces. Service delivery managers besteden tot wel twee uur per klant, wat lastig schaalbaar is naarmate het aantal klanten groeit. Dit proces is niet alleen inefficiënt, maar vergroot ook de kans op menselijke fouten.
Dit project richt zich op het verbeteren en vereenvoudigen van dit rapportageproces. Door bestaande rapporten te analyseren, is onderzocht welke onderdelen gestandaardiseerd kunnen worden. Op basis van deze inzichten is een duidelijke basisstructuur voor maandelijkse rapportages ontwikkeld, die dient als uitgangspunt voor een meer geautomatiseerd proces voor het genereren van rapporten.
Het resultaat is een voorstel voor een gestandaardiseerde werkwijze die ervoor zorgt dat rapportages sneller te maken zijn en gemakkelijker te begrijpen. Daarnaast is er een proof of concept ontwikkeld om te laten zien hoe dit er in de praktijk uit kan zien. Ook wordt duidelijk gemaakt wat er nog nodig is, zoals betere databeschikbaarheid en verbeterde tools, om deze aanpak succesvol te implementeren.
Door het verminderen van handmatig werk helpt dit project AMEXIO tijd te besparen, menselijke fouten te verminderen en zich beter voor te bereiden op toekomstige groei.

User Interaction Ordermind: Developing an AI-Driven SaaS Platform for Automated Order Processing

Title: Ordermind: Developing an AI-Driven SaaS Platform for Automated Order Processing Description:

For my graduation project at OWOW, I researched and developed parts of Ordermind: a web-based system that uses AI to support B2B order processing. Many logistics and manufacturing companies still receive orders through unstructured emails, PDFs, and Excel files. Clerks then manually interpret these documents and enter the data into ERP systems, which is time-consuming and sensitive to mistakes.

My design challenge was to investigate how AI can extract order data accurately while still keeping the human clerk in control. I worked on the AI pipeline, model and OCR research, validation rules, and the human-in-the-loop review flow where clerks check, correct, and approve AI-extracted data before it is sent onward.

The project combines technical implementation with applied research. I benchmarked different AI models and document-processing strategies, investigated privacy and EU data handling, built configurable validation logic for different clients, and tested the review interface internally against manual order entry. A central theme in the project is trust: how can a system be fast enough to reduce repetitive work, but transparent enough that users do not blindly rely on AI output?

Software Custom AI interview agent against the establishment

Title: Custom AI interview agent against the establishment Description:

During my graduation internship, I investigated whether a custom-built AI voice interviewer can extract higher quality business process information from employees compared to an off-the-shelf solution. Conducted at Noah, a Belgian start-up that interviews employees to identify where AI will have the biggest impact in an organisation. The project was triggered by a recurring weakness in Noah's production system: when a person lists multiple items, the agent explores only one and drops the rest. To fix this, a custom voice agent was built with a state manager that tracks which topics still need covering. Both systems were compared on output quality, using AI-to-AI interviews scored against a known ground truth, and on user experience, through a blind survey of 15 participants.

User Interaction Spatial Audio in XR Concerts

Title: Spatial Audio in XR Concerts Description:

What happens to your sense of immersion when sound in a virtual world actually comes from the right place? This project researches just that. It is initiated by Dutch Rose Media, a company specialized in immersive XR (Extended Reality) concepts. Together with pop venue Effenaar, they developed Infinity Concerts (formerly called HYMNE). It is a platform for virtual concerts, not replacing live concerts, but rather adding to their experience. By blending the physical and digital worlds, these hybrid concerts offer fans a deeper, more immersive experience. One of the artists on the platform is Anneke van Giersbergen. She came up with an idea for an island in Virtual Reality, with a different musical mix for every spot on the island.
The assignment is to research and apply spatial audio with the goal of enhancing immersion and user experience, while keeping usability for a broad XR audience. Immersion is the feeling of physically being in a virtual environment. From the conducted research, the spatial audio types that fit most in this experience are Positional Audio (sound coming from a specific point in space) and Environmental Audio (like birds and water). Currently, Anneke appears on the island singing her own song, but her voice has no clear source. Next to that, the current experience contains nature sounds, but in a very subtle way. There is room for improvement.
Both of these spatial audio types have been implemented. Four prototypes have been created, 1: no spatial audio, 2: only Positional Audio, 3: only Environmental Audio, and 4: fully spatial. These have been tested, two at a time, on students, who were given a questionnaire afterwards. The results and conclusion of this project will be elaborated on during this presentation.

Organisational Processes ADKAR-gedreven Change Management Dashboard: Van meting naar besluitvorming

Title: ADKAR-gedreven Change Management Dashboard: Van meting naar besluitvorming Description:

Digitale transformaties, zoals SAP-implementaties, hebben een grote impact op organisaties. Het succes van deze projecten wordt niet uitsluitend bepaald door technologie, maar vooral door de mate waarin eindgebruikers de nieuwe werkwijzen accepteren. Binnen McCoy & Partners speelt Change Management daarom een belangrijke rol. Om deze adoptie meetbaar te maken, maakt het bedrijf gebruik van een dashboard dat inzicht biedt in de vijf fases van het Prosci ADKAR-framework (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability en Reinforcement).

Het doel van mijn project is om dit dashboard te transformeren van een ondersteunende informatiebron naar een zelfstandig en schaalbaar sturingsinstrument. In de huidige situatie kent de rapportage technische beperkingen: data uit vragenlijsten wordt handmatig via Excel naar Power BI verwerkt. Dit zorgt voor uitdagingen rondom databetrouwbaarheid en beperkt de integratie met andere databronnen. Door middel van literatuuronderzoek, interviews en procesanalyses is onderzocht aan welke KPI’s, visualisaties en functionaliteiten de consultants daadwerkelijk behoefte hebben.

Op basis van deze bevindingen is een gestandaardiseerde BI-architectuur ontworpen en gerealiseerd. Met behulp van Microsoft Fabric is de data-architectuur herontworpen op basis van architectuur- en modeleringsprincipes, inclusief beveiliging via Row-Level Security (RLS). Dit vernieuwde dashboard zorgt er aan de ene kant voor dat betrouwbare stuurinformatie centraal en gestandaardiseerd beschikbaar is. Aan de andere kant stelt het de consultants in staat om datagedreven beslissingen te nemen, trends te analyseren en effectiever de adoptie bij de klant te sturen.

Software Design and Implementation of a New Central License Manager

Title: Design and Implementation of a New Central License Manager Description:

My graduation internship focuses on the research, design, and implementation of a central license management solution for Bravx, a supplier of Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions and consultancy services within the Microsoft ecosystem. Following the merger of multiple companies into Bravx, several independent licensing systems currently exist, leading to inconsistencies, limited transparency, and increased management complexity.

The goal of my project is to create a scalable, maintainable, and extensible Central License Manager that can support multiple products across the organization. This includes analyzing existing licensing solutions, identifying best practices, and designing a unified architecture that enables centralized management, validation, and monitoring of customer licenses.

As part of the implementation, I have developed a Proof of Concept (PoC) API to demonstrate integration with at least one existing product. The solution is designed to operate primarily in the background, ensuring automated license validation with minimal end-user interaction.

The final outcome provides a solid foundation for future development, along with recommendations for further improvements and adoption within the company’s product landscape.

Infrastructure Cybersecurity Analyst

Title: Cybersecurity Analyst Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerproject onderzoek ik wat de meest geschikte unified security stack is voor de gefuseerde organisatie Kinly–Yorktel. Door de fusie zijn er momenteel meerdere beveiligingsoplossingen in gebruik, wat leidt tot complexiteit in beheer, inconsistent beleid en verhoogde veiligheidsrisico’s.

In dit project vergelijk ik drie mogelijke scenario’s: een volledig Microsoft-gebaseerde oplossing (Microsoft 365 E5), een Cisco-oplossing en een alternatief gebaseerd op CrowdStrike.

Voor dit onderzoek maak ik gebruik van de design challenge methode om gerichte en relevante deelvragen te formuleren. Daarnaast gebruik ik het DOT-framework met het patroon “Choose fitting technology”, waarbij ik de Library-, Field-, Workshop- en Lab-fases doorloop.

In de Library-fase voer ik literatuuronderzoek uit om algemene kennis en passende methodieken te verzamelen. In de Field-fase verzamel ik inzichten via interviews met stakeholders, waarbij ik requirements en knelpunten in kaart breng. Vervolgens voer ik in de Workshop-fase een MoSCoW-analyse uit, aangevuld met een weighted scoring systeem om prioriteiten te bepalen. Tot slot voer ik in de Lab-fase praktische testen uit om de verschillende security stacks te vergelijken.

Op basis van deze evaluaties en de opgehaalde eisen en wensen van stakeholders formuleer ik een onderbouwd advies. Het eindresultaat is een decision-ready aanbeveling die de organisatie ondersteunt bij het kiezen van een toekomstbestendige, schaalbare en geïntegreerde beveiligingsoplossing.

Software Leveraging GitHub Integrations to Build an Open-Source Plugin Library for the Frank!Framework

Title: Leveraging GitHub Integrations to Build an Open-Source Plugin Library for the Frank!Framework Description:

The Frank!Framework is an open-source integration framework developed and maintained by WeAreFrank!, a software and integrations company of around 50 people located in Rotterdam. The core development team who are responsible for the framework are exploring the idea of moving the Frank!Framework to a more modular architecture moving functionality into plugins. This would simplify the framework and provide users more freedom to tailor the functionality and components in the framework to what they need. This shift does however introduce a new challenge in how the tens of plugins are made available and discoverable to users; without a way to find and evaluate plugins ease of use of the framework will suffer.

This graduation project addresses this challenge through the design and development of a full-stack web application that serves as the plugin library of the Frank!Framework. The system enables users to browse, searchm and asses plugins throuhg an Angular frontend, which a Spring Boot backend provides the data and functionality by tightly integrating with GitHub and GitHub API's. This GitHub integration is a key requirement as GitHub functions as the source of truth where plugin code, documentation, and versions are expected to be found. Working within the constraints of the GitHub API is a key aspect of this project.

The resulting product is a platform that could in the future support the Frank!Framework as it transitions to a more modular future.

Christiaens Group is a Dutch company that builds machines for the growing and harvesting of mushrooms and would like to expand to automated harvesting solutions in the future. I have been tasked with creating an application for visualising and analysing growth and harvesting behaviour with the end goal of aiding the developers of Christiaens with developing their harvesting algorithms.

Data was already being gathered by Christiaens, so my focus could entirely be on designing and implementing the user interaction and software development of this visualiser application. Role-wise, i was a full-stack developer in this project: the application itself is built using Unity for its 3D visualisation, an API has been set up for accessing mushroom data, and a service has been implemented for sorting and validating new mushroom data.

Software Sales-Tool 2.0 Modification

Title: Sales-Tool 2.0 Modification Description:

During my internship, I implemented a new feature in the sales tool that allows sales agents to modify a customer's existing product. The feature guides the agent through a clear step-by-step process: selecting what to change, adjusting the values, reviewing the updated price, and confirming the modification. Once the modification is complete, the customer can also add new products within the same session, combining everything into a single offer. The system validates changes in real time and saves the offer, which can be continued within 30 days of creation. This makes it faster and easier for sales agents to help customers without needing to switch between different systems.

User Interaction Philips Myshop - Self-Service for Order & Delivery

Title: Philips Myshop - Self-Service for Order & Delivery Description:

Philips Myshop is the ambassador webshop for Philips employees, retirees, and partners. The customer support team handles around 250 questions every day, and a large share of those questions are the same ones over and over. Where is my package? When will it arrive? Can I still change my order?

These are questions that customers could easily answer themselves, if the information was clear and easy to find on the website. Right now it is not. So customers pick up the phone, send an email, and wait for a reply.

The assignment is to turn that around. To design a self-service experience around order and delivery. A place where the customer can see instantly where their package is, what the status is, and what they can sort out on their own. Only when that is not enough, should the support team step in.

It sounds simple, but the challenge is in the details. What does the customer need to see, and when. How do you keep a self-service page from becoming a new obstacle in itself. And how do you make sure the customer feels confident enough to try it on their own and be able to help themselves, were possible :)

Hardware Interfacing GNSS Path-following

Title: GNSS Path-following Description:

Enexis Groep is a Dutch regional grid operator responsible for the distribution of electricity and gas in large parts of the Netherlands. To maintain its gas networks, periodic tests need to be performed to check if and where there are any leaks, so maintenance can be performed.

The gas leak inspection is highly labor-intensive and strongly dependent on manual labor. Each year, approximately 10,000 working hours are spent on leak detection activities. To accommodate the rising demand for these inspections while facing a scarcity of personnel, the R&D department of Enexis is exploring the option to increase productivity of employees in the field by using a robot platform.

The focus of this project was the development of path-following capabilities using Global Navigation Satellite Systems so that underground gas pipelines can be tracked autonomously. To increase the value of this project an additional emphasis is modularity and reusability ensuring the localization and navigation can be used in other projects.

User Interaction Web Motion Design System

Title: Web Motion Design System Description:

Bij Komma worden binnen digitale projecten steeds vaker motion graphics toegepast, zoals page transitions, parallax-effecten, hoverinteracties, reveals en loading states. Deze bewegingen dragen bij aan merkbeleving, gebruikservaring en visuele kwaliteit, maar binnen Komma ontbrak een centrale plek en duidelijke werkwijze om motion consistent toe te passen. Daardoor moesten designers en developers per project opnieuw keuzes maken, ontstond er soms onduidelijkheid in de overdracht en waren bestaande motion-oplossingen lastig herbruikbaar.

De opdracht was om te onderzoeken hoe een motion design system kan helpen om web-based motion graphics binnen digitale projecten van Komma consistenter, efficiënter en beter overdraagbaar toe te passen. Het resultaat is een interne visuele kennisbasis waarin motionvoorbeelden, categorieën, richtlijnen en relevante informatie samenkomen. Het systeem ondersteunt designers en developers bij het kiezen, afstemmen en realiseren van passende motion, met aandacht voor UX, merkbeleving en technische haalbaarheid.

Tijdens het project is onderzocht welke problemen designers en developers ervaren bij het toepassen van motion. Hiervoor zijn onder andere interviews gehouden, bestaande projecten geanalyseerd en relevante onderdelen van motion design systems onderzocht. Hieruit bleek vooral behoefte aan standaardisatie, betere overdracht en een gedeelde visuele bibliotheek met herbruikbare voorbeelden. Op basis van de onderzoeken en stakeholderinput is bepaald hoe verschillende motionvoorbeelden logisch gecategoriseerd, gepresenteerd en technisch beheersbaar gemaakt kunnen worden.

Het eindproduct is een interne motionbibliotheek die aansluit op de technische standaarden en werkwijze van Komma. Binnen het systeem kunnen motionvoorbeelden worden aangemaakt, gegroepeerd en voorzien van contextuele informatie. Door de aansluiting op Statamic CMS, Laravel en de bestaande front-end werkwijze is het systeem goed onderhoudbaar en vormt het een praktische basis voor het toepassen van motion graphics in toekomstige webprojecten.

Software Audino: An On-Premise End-to-End Feedback Collection Platform

Title: Audino: An On-Premise End-to-End Feedback Collection Platform Description:

Audino is an on-premise end-to-end feedback collection platform developed to enable secure and GDPR-compliant user feedback reporting within enterprise web applications. The platform was created in response to data sovereignty and privacy requirements that prevented the use of third-party SaaS feedback and bug-reporting solutions.

Audino allows end users to submit bug reports, improvement suggestions, and contextual feedback directly from within a host web application through an embeddable widget. Users can optionally include screenshots of the active browser tab to provide additional context for reported issues. No user account or authentication is required for submitting feedback, lowering the barrier for end-user participation and improving issue reporting efficiency.

All submitted feedback is stored and processed fully on premise, ensuring that potentially sensitive information remains under the organization’s control and compliant with GDPR regulations. Administrators can manage submissions through a dedicated dashboard that supports filtering, categorization, triaging, and resolution workflows.

The platform focuses on providing organizations with a privacy-first alternative to external feedback collection tools while maintaining a streamlined user experience for both end users and administrators. Audino combines frontend integration, backend processing, secure data handling, and administrative tooling into a centralized feedback management ecosystem designed for enterprise environments.

Software Supply Chain Data Management Software Engineering

Title: Supply Chain Data Management Software Engineering Description:

Bridging Human Data and Relational Schemas at Scale

Large organisations rarely start with clean data. When a new supply chain collaboration
space is set up, the information that will populate it; products, locations, planning
entities, the relationships between them, almost always lives somewhere else first,
usually in spreadsheets maintained by the people who understand the business.
Getting that data into the system is one of the first things a user has to do, and one of
the most frustrating things to do badly.
This project is about designing the bridge between those two worlds. It asks how a
generic mechanism for bulk data import can be built into an existing enterprise
platform, generic enough to handle many different kinds of business entities without
being rewritten for each one, resilient enough to cope with files that are large,
imperfect, or partially wrong, and considerate enough that when something does go
wrong, the user understands what happened and can fix it.

Software Develop the “Pay & Plan” Plugin for Lifestyle Pharmacy

Title: Develop the “Pay & Plan” Plugin for Lifestyle Pharmacy Description:

This graduation project is conducted for the company Nationale Apotheek. One of the company’s digital innovations is a project called “Pay & Plan.” This project enables pharmacies and other healthcare organizations to sell medication to consumers digitally. Consumers can purchase medication online and have it delivered directly to their homes.
Nationale Apotheek is the online pharmacy of the Netherlands. The company combines pharmaceutical care with digital innovation. Instead of waiting in queues at the counter, customers receive service through an app, email, and video consultations. In addition to providing regular medication, Nationale Apotheek also offers support for smoking cessation and is increasingly focusing on lifestyle pharmacy services.
At the moment, the Pay & Plan system requires a complex process involving customized IT integrations between the physician’s system (the prescriber) and Nationale Apotheek. This creates a significant barrier to adoption. Many clinics are willing to collaborate, but their IT vendors often lack the time or capacity to implement complex API integrations. In addition, parts of the current Pay & Plan workflow are outdated and require modernization to better support efficient and scalable digital healthcare delivery.
The goal of this project is to analyze the current system and identify where improvements can be made. Research will be conducted to determine whether the required changes can be implemented using the existing tools or whether new technologies and architectural components are needed. This includes evaluating technical constraints, integration possibilities, and process bottlenecks.
Based on this research, a structured project plan will be developed to modernize or replace specific components of the existing application. The expected outcome is a more streamlined and accessible Pay & Plan process, with reduced integration complexity, improved usability for healthcare providers, and better scalability for future growth.

Software Obersvatiesysteem dat via een dashboard en notificaties direct inzicht in problemen in live-applicaties geeft voor IKNL

Title: Obersvatiesysteem dat via een dashboard en notificaties direct inzicht in problemen in live-applicaties geeft voor IKNL Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerproject ontwerp en realiseer ik een centraal observatiesysteem voor Integraal Kankercentrum Nederland. Binnen de organisatie worden meerdere applicaties gebruikt voor het verzamelen en beschikbaar stellen van data over kanker. Wanneer zich storingen voordoen, kost het momenteel veel tijd om de oorzaak hiervan te achterhalen doordat logging en monitoring verspreid zijn over verschillende systemen en tools.

Om dit probleem op te lossen onderzoek ik hoe logging, metrics en tracing van meerdere applicaties uniform verzameld en geanalyseerd kunnen worden. Hiervoor heb ik requirements opgesteld, verschillende observability-stacks onderzocht en meerdere proof-of-concepts ontwikkeld met behulp van Docker Compose en OpenTelemetry. Op basis van dit onderzoek heb ik SigNoz geselecteerd als meest geschikte oplossing.

Momenteel werk ik aan een minimum viable product (MVP) waarin SigNoz wordt geïntegreerd met de volledige systemen van NKR Cijfers en Gegevensaanvragen,

Software Benchmarking OCR Architectures for Intelligent Insurance Invoice Processing

Title: Benchmarking OCR Architectures for Intelligent Insurance Invoice Processing Description:

This graduation project explores the benchmarking and evaluation of modern OCR (Optical Character Recognition) architectures for intelligent insurance invoice processing in a real-world industrial setting.

The project follows the complete lifecycle of an OCR benchmarking pipeline — from dataset preparation to model evaluation and system improvement recommendations. A major part of the work focused on constructing a reliable ground truth dataset using real insurance invoices provided by an industry client, alongside publicly sourced documents used during the early research phase. Due to the sensitive nature of the data, the project also considered practical challenges related to confidentiality and document handling.

Following the ground truth creation, the project continued with document segmentation and label linking, separating invoices into meaningful structural components such as headers, numerical regions, totals, tax sections, and line-item information. This enabled a deeper evaluation of OCR performance beyond plain text extraction.

Multiple OCR models with different architectures were then benchmarked across a range of criteria, including text recognition quality, numerical accuracy, punctuation handling, and validation of invoice calculations. The project also investigates whether combinations of models within a processing pipeline can outperform standalone approaches in specific recognition tasks.

The final result is a detailed comparative analysis of OCR performance within the insurance domain, together with practical recommendations for improving automated invoice processing systems and increasing overall extraction reliability in production environments.

Organisational Processes Processtructuur en Dashboarding at ACA IT-Solutions

Title: Processtructuur en Dashboarding at ACA IT-Solutions Description:

This graduation project was carried out at ACA IT-Solutions within the cybersecurity department and focuses on improving process structure, governance, transparency, and management reporting. The project started with mapping and analysing the current processes for Incident Management, Change Management, Sales, and Project execution. These processes were documented to clarify how work is currently organised, which roles and systems are involved, where handovers take place, and where process ownership currently lies.

The analysis showed that the processes already contain structured elements, such as registration, status-based routing, approval moments, role division, and formal handovers. At the same time, the processes still depend strongly on manual checks, complete and correct registration, timely coordination, and consistent follow-up. This can lead to reduced transparency, unclear end-to-end ownership, and limited management insight.

To support better decision-making, the project also focused on defining relevant and technically feasible KPIs and translating them into Power BI dashboards. For the Manager Cybersecurity, a project reporting dashboard was developed to provide insight into project workload, project status, progress, planning, deviations, and budget in hours. This helps management monitor ongoing projects and understand capacity and workload more clearly.

In addition, an incident reporting dashboard was developed with pages and insights related to open incidents, closed incidents, incident intake, intake versus handling, priority, SLA statuses, overdue incidents, and operational workload. These dashboards support both operational monitoring and management-level steering.

By combining process mapping, process analysis, ITIL/NIST-based evaluation, KPI definition, data analysis, dashboard prototyping, and stakeholder validation, this project provides ACA IT-Solutions with a more structured and data-driven foundation for process control and management reporting.

Due to confidentiality, internal company data, specific system details, and dashboard content are not publicly disclosed.

User Interaction Ontwikkeling van een dynamisch en uitbreidbaar systeem voor spelspecifieke instellingen in de Picoo-app

Title: Ontwikkeling van een dynamisch en uitbreidbaar systeem voor spelspecifieke instellingen in de Picoo-app Description:

Tegenwoordig zitten kinderen vaak binnen op een scherm te gamen. Om kinderen meer buiten te laten spelen heeft Picoo interactieve buitenspellen ontwikkeld, waarbij de spelbeleving van interactieve computergames gecombineerd wordt met buitenspelen zonder schermen.

Picoo krijgt regelmatig de vraag van eindgebruikers (leerkrachten en BSO-begeleiders) of het mogelijk is om de instellingen, zoals de lengte van het spel, het aantal teams en de tik-afstand, aan te passen. Hierdoor kan het spel beter worden afgestemd op de groep en de locatie. In de hardware van de Picoo-controller zijn deze spelinstellingen hardcoded en is er geen geschikte UI beschikbaar. Op dit moment is er geen systeem waarmee de spelinstellingen op een dynamische manier in de huidige Picoo-app kunnen worden geïmplementeerd. Elk kwartaal worden er nieuwe spellen uitgebracht, waardoor een uitbreidbaar systeem van belang is om handmatige code-aanpassingen en configuratiefouten te voorkomen.

Het doel van mijn project is om een dynamisch en uitbreidbaar systeem voor de spelinstellingen te ontwikkelen voor de huidige Picoo-app. De hoofdvraag luidt: Hoe kunnen we een dynamisch en uitbreidbaar systeem voor Picoo-spelinstellingen ontwikkelen, zodat nieuwe spellen aan de Picoo-app kunnen worden toegevoegd zonder dat developers de code handmatig hoeven aan te passen?

Voor dit project heb ik onderzoek gedaan naar de wensen van eindgebruikers, de huidige softwarearchitectuur van Picoo en op welke manier de data van spelinstellingen automatisch in de UI van de huidige Picoo-app kan worden ingeladen. Op basis hiervan ontwikkelde ik een prototype waarin data van de Picoo-controller wordt gecombineerd met gegevens uit de database. Dit prototype is gevalideerd door de app-developer en eindgebruikers.

Het eindresultaat is een werkend prototype van een dynamisch en uitbreidbaar systeem voor spelinstellingen, inclusief advies voor verdere ontwikkeling.

User Interaction Design and Implementation of a Reusable Component Library for the Student Companion App

Title: Design and Implementation of a Reusable Component Library for the Student Companion App Description:

The Student Companion App (SCA), developed by CY2, is a Microsoft Teams-based application designed to help higher education students access study-related information such as deadlines, announcements, and notifications from multiple connected platforms within a single environment.

This graduation project focuses on designing a reusable and scalable UI component system for the application. The project addresses the problem that the system currently lacks a clearly defined and consistent interface structure. This creates a less consistent experience for students while also making the application more difficult for developers to maintain and scale as new features are added.

The goal of the project is to improve consistency, usability, and scalability across the application while helping students access important study-related information more efficiently.
Through user research, prototyping, and usability testing, the project explores how students interact with study-related information across different platforms and how these insights can inform the design of a more structured user interface. Based on these findings, a reusable UI component system was designed and implemented to support a more consistent experience across the Student Companion App.

Software Rats in the Kitchen - Procedural Kitchen Architect (PKA)

Title: Rats in the Kitchen - Procedural Kitchen Architect (PKA) Description:

I am part of an indie game studio called Wild Grove Studios, currently developing Project RITK(Rats in the Kitchen), a 3D co-op cooking platformer.
To solve the bottleneck of manually designing and creating enough levels for a Steam release, I am building the Procedural Kitchen Architect(PKA). This is a deterministic tool in Unity that procedurally generates various kitchens.

The project can be broken down into four parts.
The first is a logic layer that handles all the spatial rules and generation math.
The second is a custom set of Unity editor tools that allows anyone in the team to easily create new room modules in a few minutes, without writing any code.
The third is a pathfinding system that runs through every generated level to guarantee that each is fully playable.
Finally, the last part of the project is a tool that allows us to save the generated levels as scenes, enabling the manual editing for custom levels.

To summarize, this project automates level creation, saving us countless hours of development time, while making sure that the player gets infinitely replayable levels.

Software From Wrench to Report: Simplifying Maintenance and Inspection Workflows

Title: From Wrench to Report: Simplifying Maintenance and Inspection Workflows Description:

This project provides a generic and modular framework to help specialists streamline their maintenance and inspection workflows.

It removes the need to take manual notes and later transfer them into a separate report document. Instead, specialists can use their mobile devices, such as a phone or tablet, to capture photos, notes, and measurement values, which are then automatically compiled into a report.

The framework is designed to be as generic as possible, allowing specialists to create their own small configuration files, place them in the data folder, and have the application automatically detect and support them for report generation. This extensibility is central to the project's scope as an HBO project, as it requires a careful balance between usability for specialists with no coding experience and practical considerations such as whether they will actually adopt it.

The test case is built around a Self-Propelled Modular Transporter Power Pack Unit (SPMT-PPU), the unit responsible for supplying SPMT trailers with high-pressure hydraulic oil to lift large structures such as bridges, cruise ships, or the anti-radiation dome over Chernobyl's reactors.

This test case also highlights a recurring problem in the field: manuals and specialists are not always aligned. Manuals are sometimes written without specialist involvement, meaning safety-critical details go untested and unverified by the people who actually operate the equipment. Mitigating this gap between documentation and real-world expertise is a longer-term goal of the project, with a planned next step of adding a guided inspection and maintenance walkthrough feature.

Software Optimising and improving internal automation tool Sparkable

Title: Optimising and improving internal automation tool Sparkable Description:

The project focuses on improving Sparkable's internal developer tool. This internally developed tool is used to support and automate tasks within the company. The main task it performs is writing worked in Gripp from Jira. This was a manual process were hours need to be both logged in Jira and Gripp. Over time, new features have been added to the tool, developed at different times using different design patterns, structures, and workflows. These tools included tools that are close to the original like writing hours for multiple users or making the Gripp planning based on the Jira planning, but also unrelated tools like translation and export tools. This has resulted in a fragmented system with inconsistencies in both the technical structure and the user interface, as well as an increase in technical debt and a reduction in overall usability.

The goal of this project is to evaluate and improve the current state of the tool by improving its overall quality, consistency, and maintainability. This is done by improving the architecture of the project, refactoring the legacy code and using a design system for consistency in the front-end. In addition to improving the technical foundation and user experience, the tool will also be improved by adding new features that better support internal processes and improve efficiency. This includes removing known issues and bugs and completely new features like easier import of projects or a realtime dashboard of project status. The result will be a more reliable, user-friendly and scalable internal tool that better meets the needs of Sparkable's team.

The result is a more reliable and user-friendly internal tool that improves user experience, while also providing a stronger technical foundation for future development within Sparkable.

User Interaction 1001m2

Title: 1001m2 Description:

De Ontdekfabriek is an science museum aiming to excite children about innovation and science through playful and interactive exhibitions. While historically, most of their exhibitions were focused on physical interaction, De Ontdekfabriek has broadened their view to also include digital games. However, they lack sufficient experience in IT fields in order to update and maintain their games. At the moment, they want to move to a new building, and want some games updated and developed.

1001m2 is a game in where the children can virtually wander through the hallways by moving around on a game mat, unveiling everything that is to experience beyond the museum. By finding mystical passageways hidden in crates spread around the establishment, they are able to be transported to different locations to experience the various projects that De Ontdekfabriek is working on in a free roaming experience. In there, the children can explore all about the various projects that De Ontdekfabriek is partaking in.

In order to ensure maintainability for De Ontdekfabriek, the game will support custom made models for the discoverable locations compatible with software De Ontdekfabriek is already using, allowing them to easily update the contents of the game without requiring any knowledge on how to work with the game engine.

Software Vostermans Ventilation's internal ventilation calculation and advisory tool.

Title: Vostermans Ventilation's internal ventilation calculation and advisory tool. Description:

In the industrial ventilation sector, delivering accurate, rapid product recommendations is key to maintaining a competitive edge. Historically, translating a client’s complex environmental requirements into specific hardware solutions has relied on manual calculation workflows—a process that is time-consuming. This graduation project bridges the gap between engineering and sales by developing a internal ventilation calculation and advisory tool.

The developed software digitizes and automates the sales manager pipeline. It allows users to input specific spatial and environmental parameters to instantly compute the precise total airflow requirements. Moving a step further than standard calculators, the tool automatically translates these airflow requirements into concrete hardware recommendations, identifying the exact fan quantiy needed for the job. Crucially, the tool incorporates a financial module that calculates the total investment cost for the customer on the spot.

Ultimately, this tool replaces manual inefficiency with a scalable digital framework, empowering the sales department to deliver rapid, mathematically optimized, and cost-transparent advisory services to the clients.

Software WinstonPOS - Payment systems integrations for US market

Title: WinstonPOS - Payment systems integrations for US market Description:

Winston is a restaurant Point-of-Sale (POS) provider that is expanding into the US market. My graduation internship focuses on reducing one of the main barriers for US clients: the need to replace or reconfigure existing payment and reservation systems when switching to Winston. The goal of my project is therefore to design, validate, and implement integration solutions that allow new US hospitality clients to adopt Winston’s POS while continuing to use the external systems they already rely on.

The project started with a focus on Dejavoo/iPosPays SoftPOS integration for the Android Waiter app, combined with research into US payment gateways. During the internship, the scope evolved based on company priorities. In addition to Dejavoo, I also worked on MagTek as a Windows desktop/local payment reader integration, and on a Capacitor plugin for the secondary screen so it can be used as a customer-facing display on Android devices.

Methodologically, I work in iterative sprints and follow the regulative cycle of analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation. I combine desk research, prototyping, testing, and stakeholder feedback using a Development-Oriented Triangulation (DOT) approach. My work includes setting up and validating payment flows, researching third-party SDKs and APIs, implementing integrations in Winston’s existing architecture, documenting technical decisions, and presenting progress to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The intended outcome is a set of practical and well-documented integration solutions and architectural insights that help Winston support the US market more effectively, while also demonstrating my ability to solve complex real-world integration problems at bachelor level.

Organisational Processes Optimising Hybrid Synthetic–Real Datasets for Agricultural Computer Vision

Title: Optimising Hybrid Synthetic–Real Datasets for Agricultural Computer Vision Description:

Teaching a computer to tell crops from weeds in a field photograph normally means hand-labelling thousands of images one by one — among the slowest and most expensive steps in building any AI vision system. This graduation project, carried out at the Eindhoven AI start-up Synthgen, tackles a practical question: can computer-generated ("synthetic") training images — which can be produced already labelled — take over some of that manual work without making the model any less accurate?

To find out, I designed a rigorous, reproducible benchmark on a public agricultural dataset of 2,568 real field images spanning 18 plant species. I trained models on real images only, on synthetic images only, and on hybrid mixtures at several real-to-synthetic ratios, and I repeated the comparison across two different families of vision models so the conclusions would not depend on a single architecture. I also added an independent "image-quality judge" — vision-language AI models that rate how realistic each synthetic image looks — to understand why synthetic data helps or hurts, separately from accuracy alone.

The result is clear and useful: carefully built synthetic data can bring a model to within a fraction of a percent of one trained purely on real photographs, and image realism is not the main factor in whether it helps.

Software STORG 365 Care Platform (Prototype) — Integrated Data Layer, API Integrations, KPI Dashboards, and Alerts for Care Entrepreneurs

Title: STORG 365 Care Platform (Prototype) — Integrated Data Layer, API Integrations, KPI Dashboards, and Alerts for Care Entrepreneurs Description:

For my graduation internship at STORG B.V., I am working on CareDesq, a prototype that connects care-related data with invoice and financial information
In healthcare organisations, important information is often spread across different systems, for example: Care registration, invoice data, payment information, provider settings, and client details are not always easy to compare in one place. This makes it harder to answer practical questions, for example whether delivered care has been invoiced correctly, whether an invoice has been paid, or where mismatches between care and billing data occur.
CareDesq is meant to create a clearer data layer between these systems. The prototype imports and validates client and invoice data, supports integration with external systems such as WeFact, and prepares the data for dashboards and KPI reporting. The project also takes tenant separation, provider integrations, and future growth into account, because the application may later support different care organisations and different source systems.
The goal of this project is to design a maintainable backend structure that can help a care organisation get better insight into its operational and financial data.

Infrastructure Cybersecurity & IT Policy Improvement at STAFA

Title: Cybersecurity & IT Policy Improvement at STAFA Description:

STAFA is an internationally operating production, trading, and logistics company that depends on its IT infrastructure to keep daily operations running. When I started this project, the cybersecurity policy was last updated in 2017, there was no documented overview of the IT environment, no disaster recovery plan, and no real approach to security awareness among employees.
My goal was to fix that.
I started by mapping the entire IT landscape every server, application, integration, and network segment. From there I ran a risk analysis covering threats like ransomware, phishing, and supply chain risks, using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and NIS2 as a reference.
What I delivered is a security foundation STAFA can actually use and build on. Everything is documented, validated with stakeholders, and based on what the organization actually looks like in practice.
The biggest lesson for me: cybersecurity is never just a technical problem. It's a people problem and a process problem just as much as anything else.

Organisational Processes Data-Driven Insights into Test Competence and Product Quality

Title: Data-Driven Insights into Test Competence and Product Quality Description:

To support data-driven decision-making within Vanderlande, this project delivers an end-to-end quality dashboard that integrates data from multiple engineering systems into one unified and automated solution. By combining data from sources such as Jira, Polarion, Bamboo, and code quality tools, the dashboard provides a single, reliable view of software performance and testing quality.
The solution offers clear insight into test coverage, showing how thoroughly the system is validated across different testing phases. It also visualizes the link between requirements and test cases, improving traceability and helping identify gaps in the testing process. This ensures that all requirements are properly tested and aligned with development goals.
In addition, the dashboard evaluates test process compliance by monitoring whether teams follow defined testing standards and procedures. This helps identify inconsistencies in workflows and improves overall test discipline.
Key quality indicators such as bug trends, regression test outcomes, and code quality metrics are continuously tracked. This allows stakeholders to detect patterns, monitor system stability, and quickly address recurring issues. Furthermore, the dashboard highlights defect leakage and build stability, which are critical for assessing release readiness.
A major feature of the solution is the visualization of quality progression over multiple releases. Teams can clearly see whether product quality improves, declines, or remains stable over time, enabling better-informed release decisions.
Finally, the dashboard includes a live monitoring mode, allowing it to be displayed on-site, ensuring teams always have real-time visibility of current system quality.

Hardware Interfacing Swarm Bots – Object Detection for Autonomous Robots

Title: Swarm Bots – Object Detection for Autonomous Robots Description:

What if robots could “see” invisible light to understand their surroundings?
What if the price of object detection systems is overrated nowadays?

This project explores a new infrared-based detection system for Swarm Bots: small autonomous robots designed to work together in dynamic environments. By combining IR communication, embedded cameras, and real-time signal processing, the robots are able to detect objects, estimate direction, and distinguish multiple signals at the same time.

Instead of relying on traditional vision alone, which requires budget and processing power, this system turns invisible IR light into usable spatial information. Small flashes of light become identifiable signals, allowing robots to recognize and track objects around them in real time using lightweight embedded hardware.

Organisational Processes Parameter- en Deploymentbeheer Giant Wielladers

Title: Parameter- en Deploymentbeheer Giant Wielladers Description:

Een belangrijke eigenschap van de machines van TOBROCO-GIANT is dat zij grotendeels klant-specifiek worden geproduceerd. Iedere machine wordt samengesteld op basis van verkoopopties en gewenste functionaliteiten van de klant. Daardoor verschilt niet alleen de fysieke configuratie per machine, maar ook de softwareconfiguratie die op de ECU’s wordt geïnstalleerd. Deze softwareconfiguratie wordt vastgelegd in een parameterset, waarin alle relevante parameterwaarden worden samengebracht.

Momenteel worden parameters gekoppeld aan verkoopopties binnen een ERP-systeem. In de praktijk blijkt deze methode echter foutgevoelig en beperkt beheersbaar. Het ontbreekt aan een centrale en betrouwbare methode om softwareconfiguraties vast te leggen en historisch te volgen. Hierdoor is het lastig om met zekerheid vast te stellen welke configuratie daadwerkelijk op een machine in het veld aanwezig is. Dit kan leiden tot problemen bij onderhoud, software-updates en foutdiagnoses.

Gedurende dit project is het huidige systeem geanalyseerd en zijn de tekortkomingen in kaart gebracht. Op basis hiervan is een nieuw systeem ontworpen voor parameter- en deploymentbeheer van Giant machines. Dit systeem brengt verkochte machines, verkoopopties, parameters, softwareconfiguraties en deployments samen in één centrale database. Daarnaast biedt het gebruikers de mogelijkheid om parameters overzichtelijk toe te kennen, configuraties automatisch samen te stellen en historische configuraties inzichtelijk te maken.

Het doel van dit afstudeerproject is het ontwerpen en realiseren van dit systeem, zodat de betrouwbaarheid, traceerbaarheid en beheersbaarheid van softwareconfiguraties binnen TOBROCO-GIANT worden verbeterd.

Organisational Processes Improving Hardware Management and Incident Handling at Eindhoven Sports Locations

Title: Improving Hardware Management and Incident Handling at Eindhoven Sports Locations Description:

This project focuses on improving how the Municipality of Eindhoven consumes the services provided by an external supplier within its sports facilities, including the Ottenbad and the Tongelreep. Currently, technical malfunctions and incidents are reported through different channels, and hardware information is stored in multiple locations. As a result, there is no complete or reliable overview of equipment and incident history. This leads to delays, miscommunication and uncertainty about responsibilities. Staff members are not always aware of the correct steps to follow when reporting a malfunction, which creates inconsistency and inefficiency.

The way incidents are handled also varies between locations and individual employees. This inconsistency makes it difficult to recognise recurring issues, maintain accurate documentation and assess the quality of the service being delivered. Both Functional Management and the Service Delivery Manager experience a lack of structure and visibility, which complicates daily operations and limits the ability to steer on performance.

A key element of this project is that the Municipality of Eindhoven takes ownership of the hardware within its sports facilities. By placing responsibility for hardware registration and accuracy internally, the organisation gains more control over the information needed to manage both equipment and incident processes effectively. This reduces dependency on external parties and ensures that the municipality always has access to a complete and up‑to‑date hardware inventory.

The project examines how a uniform approach to hardware registration and incident reporting can strengthen internal processes. By mapping current bottlenecks, it becomes clear where information is lost, where workflows do not align and how this affects the handling of malfunctions. This creates a foundation for a future‑proof way of working that supports the sports facilities with clarity, consistency and reliability.

The goal is to enable the Municipality of Eindhoven to manage its own processes more effectively and to collaborate with the supplier in a more structured and transparent way.

Infrastructure Building an ISO 27001 Foundation

Title: Building an ISO 27001 Foundation Description:

My graduation project focuses on supporting Modexpress in preparing for a future ISO 27001 implementation. Modexpress is a logistics service provider in the fashion and lifestyle sector, where digital systems are essential for warehouse operations, customer communication, planning, and data exchange with partners.

The main challenge is that Modexpress already has several technical and organisational security measures in place, but these are not yet structured within one formal Information Security Management System. This makes it harder to show consistency, responsibilities, risks, and evidence in an audit-ready way.
During the project, I analyse the current information security situation, map relevant information flows and assets, support risk assessment activities, and compare the current practices with ISO 27001 requirements. Based on this, I identify important gaps and provide practical recommendations for the possible ISMS scope, required documentation, and next steps toward implementation.

The project does not focus on achieving certification directly, but on creating a clear and realistic foundation for it. The final result should help Modexpress understand where it currently stands, what still needs to be improved, and how ISO 27001 can be applied in a way that fits the organisation.

Software Full Database Migration of Ms Access to MySQL

Title: Full Database Migration of Ms Access to MySQL Description:

My assignment is to migrate Keenfinity's current MS Access database to a new MySQL server. The database primarily stores information about the company’s cameras and the tests performed on them. One of the internal tools that relies heavily on this data is the CameraManager, a central application used to manage cameras both in the database and on
the local network. The CameraManager allows users to perform a wide range of operational and administrative tasks, such as managing camera reservations, configuring network settings (including DHCP resets and restoring defaults), rebooting cameras, setting credentials, printing labels, and handling persistent logging. It also supports license management, convenient access shortcuts (e.g., opening a camera’s webpage or viewing snapshots), and adding or reconfiguring cameras either automatically from a discovered list, manually, or even when devices are misconfigured or archived. Because this tool depends on accurate, consistent, and up-to-date database information to support these workflows, the transition to a unified MySQL database must be carefully planned, validated, and fully supported by the CameraManager and other dependent systems. By the end of my project, the company expects me to have conducted a full adaptation and migration of their various MS Access database instances to a single MySQL server, including modifications to the CameraManager to properly account for the new database.

Organisational Processes Datagedreven L&O

Title: Datagedreven L&O Description:

Dit project richt zich op het ondersteunen van datagedreven besluitvorming binnen het team Leren & Ontwikkelen (L&O) van GGzE.

GGzE staat voor Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg Eindhoven en de Kempen en de organisatie helpt mensen met complexe of acute mentale problemen om veerkrachtig in het leven te staan. Dit wordt gedaan met ongeveer 3000 professionals, waarbij L&O een belangrijke rol speelt in het versterken van het vakmanschap van deze (zorg)professionals.

De aanleiding van het project is het ontbreken van voldoende inzicht in wat er daadwerkelijk gebeurt rondom leeractiviteiten, zoals leertrajecten, klassikale trainingen en e-learnings. Zo is het niet duidelijk hoe verschillende groepen professionals omgaan met het leeraanbod en hoe vaak afmeldingen en annuleringen voorkomen. Hierdoor worden beslissingen genomen op aannames en losse signalen, in plaats van op feitelijke data.

Dit gebrek aan inzicht maakt het lastig om processen gericht te verbeteren, middelen efficiënt in te zetten en advies richting de organisatie goed te onderbouwen. Dit vormt een belemmering voor de verdere ontwikkeling van L&O.

Het doel van dit project is daarom om bestaande gegevens inzichtelijk te maken en te vertalen naar bruikbare informatie voor besluitvorming. Dit wordt uitgewerkt in de vorm van een Proof of Concept in Qlik Sense, waarin wordt aangetoond hoe data kan worden omgezet in concrete inzichten.
De aanpak is iteratief om samen met de stakeholders achter de behoefte te komen en deze stapsgewijs uit te werken via prototypes. Deze zijn steeds verfijnd en samengevoegd tot één samenhangend geheel.

Het eindresultaat laat zien hoe deze gegevens ingezet kunnen worden om L&O te ondersteunen bij het nemen van beter onderbouwde beslissingen.

Hardware Interfacing Single Source Software Package

Title: Single Source Software Package Description:

The Volume Calculation Game is a concept machine that shows the production process where fluid level, valves, pumps, and sensors are used to control the flow of liquid between one source tank and one target tank. The setup is controlled with a PLC and is visualized on an HMI. Currently there are two setups, a big - and a small setup. These machines are functionally similar but mechanically and electronically different. Each one of these setups have their own software package flashed on them.

The goal of the project is to create one project containing a single software application that can be deployed on both the setups while conforming with the ISA-88 standard. The idea is to build a software package that can "choose" which hardware configuration it uses based on which setup is connected and ignore/inhibit/shutdown the remaining modules of the other setups. This is to overcome that the CPU does not continue looking for these devices and generate errors or faults.

Additionally, the system will then communicate which hardware configuration is in use to the software so that this can decide which control modules or equipment modules it has available to use. The end goal is then to shift from having two different Projects, two different hardware configurations, and two different software packages, to one project, with one hardware configuration and one software package. FUture setups must be able to make use of this solution so the system needs to be modular as well.

User Interaction UI/UX Design for the Mobile Simulation Game "Truck Manager" (Client: Trophy Games)

Title: UI/UX Design for the Mobile Simulation Game "Truck Manager" (Client: Trophy Games) Description:

During my graduation internship at Eleken, in collaboration with Trophy Games, I worked on the end-to-end UI/UX design of a new Alliance feature for the mobile management game Truck Manager.
The goal of the project was to design a complex social gameplay system that increases long-term player engagement through collaboration, communication, and shared progression. The feature enables players to create and join alliances, manage members and roles, participate in cooperative activities, communicate through alliance chat, compete in rankings, and unlock shared rewards and bonuses.
The project followed a user-centered design process that combined UX research, game design principles, and interface design. Activities included benchmark analysis of alliance and guild systems in competing games, stakeholder interviews, user story creation, system flow mapping, wireframing, high-fidelity UI design, iterative prototyping, and design validation. Throughout the process, I explored how gamification mechanics, social interaction, and system feedback can influence player motivation, engagement, and retention.
The final outcome consists of a complete high-fidelity design solution covering multiple Alliance sections. The project also explored AI-assisted workflows and rapid prototyping techniques to support the design process.
This project demonstrates how UI/UX design can transform a complex gameplay concept into an intuitive and engaging player experience while maintaining consistency with an existing live-service product ecosystem.

Software Refactoring the Pro6PP API: A Configuration-Driven Architecture for Maintainability and Extendability

Title: Refactoring the Pro6PP API: A Configuration-Driven Architecture for Maintainability and Extendability Description:

Pro6PP is a geodata and postal code API that currently supports multiple countries. However, its codebase has grown organically; historically, new countries were added by duplicating and slightly modifying existing implementations. This copy-paste approach has caused significant structural duplication across API handlers, query logic, and response building. Consequently, performing routine maintenance or adding new countries requires repetitive manual adjustments across the codebase, heavily hindering maintainability.

To resolve this, this project focuses on refactoring the Pro6PP API by transitioning it to a configuration-driven architecture within its existing Flask framework. Instead of maintaining separate, duplicated endpoint logic for each country, the new architecture centralizes the shared business logic. Country-specific variations such as differing database schemas, unique field names, and specific response models are abstracted out of the core logic. These differences are instead handled dynamically via configuration.
Furthermore, the project addresses the substantial duplication currently present in the system's test suite. Restructuring these tests is a crucial part of the project to ensure that modifying behavior or adding new countries requires significantly less maintenance effort.

The primary deliverable is a working proof of concept to prove this generic approach is technically viable. Ultimately, this architectural refactoring will drastically reduce existing code duplication and ensure that extending the API to future markets, such as Spain and Great Britain, can be done with minimal lines of new code. This will significantly improve the system's long-term maintainability and extensibility while ensuring API performance remains stable.

User Interaction Ontwerp en ontwikkeling van een digitaal recruitmentportaal

Title: Ontwerp en ontwikkeling van een digitaal recruitmentportaal Description:

Indicia is een digitaal bureau dat dagelijks sollicitaties ontvangt via meerdere kanalen, waaronder de website, e-mail, Indeed en LinkedIn. Door het bedrijf worden deze sollicitaties handmatig bijgehouden in Excel en verschillende mailboxen, wat leidt tot een foutgevoelig en tijdrovend proces dat moeilijk schaalbaar was.

Tijdens mijn afstudeerproject heb ik onderzocht hoe een digitale oplossing dit probleem kon verbeteren. Via stakeholderinterviews, een procesanalyse en een marktanalyse bracht ik de knelpunten in kaart en stelde ik een requirements list op als basis voor het ontwerp. Het resultaat is een centraal recruitmentportaal waarmee HR-medewerkers sollicitaties kunnen bekijken, statussen bijhouden en acties vastleggen, alles op één plek.

Als front-end developer was ik verantwoordelijk voor het UX-onderzoek, de informatiearchitectuur en de ontwikkeling van de interface in React. De front-end communiceert via een REST API met een door een back-end stagiair ontwikkelde server.
Om te toetsen of het ook echt werkt, voerde ik usability tests uit. Deelnemers navigeerden zelfstandig door het portaal en ervaren de interface als helder en logisch. Daarmee draagt het portaal bij aan meer overzicht voor HR-medewerkers, minder handmatig werk voor Indicia, en een goede basis waarop het bedrijf verder kan bouwen.

User Interaction Interactive Website for Energy Transition Projects in the Amer Area, Geertruidenberg.

Title: Interactive Website for Energy Transition Projects in the Amer Area, Geertruidenberg. Description:

The municipality of Geertruidenberg is planning an underground high-voltage connection that will link the offshore wind-energy area Nederwiek North in the North Sea to a high-voltage substation on land. This connection is required to transport sustainably generated energy from the wind-energy area to the mainland. Nederwiek 3 forms part of this system. Currently, three companies are working on the energy transition in the Amer area. RWE (a German company) is transforming the power plant (Amercentrale) into a biomass-based energy hub with plans for hydrogen plant, battery fields, and CO2 storage projects, TenneT is expanding and upgrading high-voltage infrastructure and constructing a converter station, and ENNatuurlijk supplies sustainable district heating using residual heat from the Power plant to nearby municipalities and horticultural greenhouses.

Because the industrial area is directly located next to a residential neighbourhood of the city of Geertruidenberg, these ongoing and future energy projects have created tensions, and caused concerns among local residents. As a result, citizens have become active stakeholders, participating in discussions about the layout of the area set to begin in 2026. The main problem is that residents lack a clear and accessible source of information about current and future energy installations. This leads to confusion, distrust, and difficulty participating in the planning process.

The municipality is looking for a way to presents all existing and confirmed future energy-transition installations, as well as potential additional installations under various scenarios within the industrial area in a digital way. The digital solution should inform the public about current projects, gather community insights and concerns, and offer a forward looking view of possible future developments.

This present an opportunity to develop a transparent and interactive digital solution that centralises information about current and future energy-transition projects in the Amer area, and presents them in an accessible and visual way.

User Interaction Designing a Smart Event Planning Tool for Guided Event Configuration

Title: Designing a Smart Event Planning Tool for Guided Event Configuration Description:

This graduation project explores how the complex event request workflow within the Royal Swinkels' B2B platform can be transformed from a long static input form into a guided planning experience.

Royal Swinkels is an international brewing company that supports hospitality businesses and large-scale events through beverage supply, equipment, logistics, and event services. The current situation is that hospitality entrepreneurs are required to configure events through a long and fragmented request questionnaire that demands users to make technical and logistical decisions without sufficient contextual support. In practice, event planning is highly variable and iterative in nature: information evolves over time, estimating the necessary quantities of materials and beverages is difficult, and operational constraints such as cooling capacity, infrastructure, transport, and installation limitations and dependencies are often unknown to users. As a result, both clients and internal teams rely heavily on manual clarification and repeated communication.

Using UX research and service design methodologies, this project investigates how interaction design can better support decision-making within a complex service environment. The project aims to redesign the event request form into a structured step-based planning tool supported by smart recommendations, contextual guidance, and operational validation mechanisms. The event request no longer serves simply as a passive data-entry form, but as an interactive experience actively supporting users throughout the planning process. At the same time, the redesigned experience improves the quality, structure, and usability of submitted information, helping internal teams process requests more efficiently, saving time and reducing clarification loops. The outcome of the project consists of a validated UX concept and an interactive prototype demonstrating how the new digital workflow can support better decision-making, improve planning confidence, and optimize operational efficiency.

Software Karindeling en vulpercentage visualiseren in het winkelwagentje

Title: Karindeling en vulpercentage visualiseren in het winkelwagentje Description:

Dit afstudeerproject is uitgevoerd bij Uniware Computer Systems en richt zich op het ontwerpen en uitwerken van een visuele karindeling binnen de nieuwe webshop. Het doel is om klanten en interne gebruikers sneller inzicht te geven in hoeveel karren nodig zijn voor een bestelling en hoe producten logisch over deze karren verdeeld kunnen worden.

In de huidige situatie is het lastig om vanuit losse orderregels direct te bepalen of een bestelling efficiënt verdeeld is. Daarom is onderzocht welke informatie nodig is om dit overzichtelijk te maken, zoals productdata, aantallen, lagen, restproducten en de capaciteit per kar. Ook is gekeken naar situaties waarin data ontbreekt of afwijkt, zodat de oplossing niet alleen werkt bij ideale voorbeelden, maar ook bij realistische bestellingen.

Op basis van gesprekken met stakeholders, analyse van bestaande data en meerdere ontwerpkeuzes is een prototype uitgewerkt. In dit prototype wordt de verdeling per kar visueel weergegeven, inclusief vulling, productverdeling en aandachtspunten. Hierdoor verandert de winkelmand van een standaard productoverzicht naar een praktisch hulpmiddel voor planning en controle.

De oplossing helpt om sneller beslissingen te nemen, fouten te verminderen en de logistieke voorbereiding van bestellingen duidelijker te maken.

Software Federated GraphQL Architecture with Asynchronous Data Aggregation and Policy Enforcement for Scalable Research Data Collection

Title: Federated GraphQL Architecture with Asynchronous Data Aggregation and Policy Enforcement for Scalable Research Data Collection Description:

Samen Aan Z (currently rebranding to Innolics) started as a specialized platform for collecting health-related data from healthcare employees via fitness trackers and surveys. Its original microservices architecture was tightly coupled to this healthcare domain: data models, fetching logic, and service contracts were all shaped around health-specific assumptions. As the platform began expanding toward a generic research data collection tool, this coupling became a direct bottleneck: onboarding new data types required changes across multiple services, the system struggled under load, and extensibility was structurally limited.
This graduation project addresses both problems by evolving the existing microservices architecture around two core principles: federated GraphQL and a data-agnostic fetching pipeline. Rather than services tied to specific data shapes, the new architecture treats each data source as an independently deployable GraphQL subgraph. New microservices can register themselves dynamically into the federation without manual reconfiguration, making the system genuinely extensible for any research domain.
Data aggregation and integration with policy enforcement form the backbone of the pipeline. Collected data flows asynchronously through a multi-stage chain, where each chunk is validated against compliance policies (such as anonymization rules) before being delivered incrementally to the dashboard. This decouples data collection from data governance, ensuring the system remains both flexible and compliant regardless of the data type being processed.
The backend is implemented in Java with Spring Boot, with asynchronous communication. The solution is validated through latency benchmark and dynamic registration integration tests.

In dit project wordt het huidige incidentenmeldformulier en de bijbehorende werkwijze binnen Prysmian Group Eindhoven vernieuwd en geïntegreerd in een bestaand systeem. Het doel is om de drempel voor het melden van incidenten te verlagen en zowel de invul- als verwerkingstijd te verkorten.
Hiervoor wordt een digitaal, geïntegreerd en gebruiksvriendelijk meldsysteem ontwikkeld waarmee medewerkers snel en eenvoudig incidenten kunnen registreren. Dit zorgt ervoor dat de QHSE-afdeling tijdig en volledig inzicht krijgt in incidenten, waardoor trends beter geanalyseerd kunnen worden en de veiligheid en kwaliteit binnen de organisatie worden verbeterd.
Daarnaast wordt de terugkoppeling naar de melder verbeterd, zodat deze sneller en duidelijker verloopt. Een goede terugkoppeling stimuleert medewerkers om in de toekomst vaker incidenten te melden, wat bijdraagt aan een open en actieve meldcultuur.
In de huidige situatie duurt het verwerken van een melding gemiddeld 20 tot 30 minuten. Met de nieuwe applicatie is het doel om deze verwerkingstijd met 20% tot 30% te verkorten. Het resultaat is een efficiënter en transparanter proces voor het melden en afhandelen van incidenten.

Software XR Holodeck

Title: XR Holodeck Description:

The XR Holodeck at the Trans Realities Lab is a collaborative virtual environment where distributed teams interact inside a shared 3D space in real time. The existing audio infrastructure relied on a fragmented peer-to-peer stack that could not support multi-user sessions reliably, and provided no way for the backend to access individual participant streams — making AI-powered voice command processing impossible.
This project designed and implemented a new real-time audio infrastructure to solve both problems. Through structured research, a suitable protocol and server architecture were selected and validated on real hardware. The result is a system where all participant audio is routed through a central server, giving the backend persistent access to each individual stream.
This enabled the integration of Whisper, an AI speech recognition model, which transcribes voice commands spoken inside the virtual environment. When a user raises their hand in the virtual space, their audio stream is captured and transcribed in real time, and the resulting command is forwarded to the AI backend for execution.
The final system was demonstrated simultaneously across three devices — a PC, a laptop, and a Meta Quest VR headset — with all participants able to communicate and issue voice commands within the shared virtual environment.

User Interaction UX/UI Redesign and Implementation of a Digital Housing Exchange Platform

Title: UX/UI Redesign and Implementation of a Digital Housing Exchange Platform Description:

This graduation project focuses on redesigning the user experience of a digital housing exchange platform by addressing key usability, transparency, and trust-related challenges faced by users during the home-swapping process. Through UX research methods including surveys, interviews, usability testing, and competitive analysis, the project explored how users interact with existing housing exchange systems and identified the main frustrations affecting their overall experience.

The research revealed recurring issues such as difficulty finding suitable housing matches, limited trust in listings due to missing or outdated information, unclear feedback after important actions, and usability problems across desktop and mobile platforms. These challenges often reduced user confidence and made the exchange process inefficient and frustrating.

Based on these findings, the project developed a modern UX/UI redesign focused on improving navigation, interaction feedback, information clarity, and overall usability. A key feature of the redesign is an interactive map-based browsing experience that allows users to explore housing swap opportunities more intuitively based on location, preferences, and availability.

The project demonstrates how user-centered design and applied UX research can contribute to creating a more accessible, transparent, and user-friendly digital housing exchange experience in a real professional context.

Infrastructure Inzicht in beveiligingsrisico’s binnen e-mailomgevingen

Title: Inzicht in beveiligingsrisico’s binnen e-mailomgevingen Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Hackify heb ik een analysetool ontwikkeld die helpt bij het inzichtelijk maken van beveiligingsrisico’s en misconfiguraties binnen e-mailomgevingen. E-mail is voor organisaties een belangrijk communicatiemiddel, maar vormt tegelijkertijd een veelgebruikt aanvalskanaal voor onder andere phishing, spoofing en misbruik van verkeerd ingestelde beveiligingsmaatregelen.

Binnen dit project heb ik onderzocht hoe verschillende protocollen en configuraties binnen e-mailomgevingen gecontroleerd kunnen worden. Op basis van dit onderzoek heb ik een proof-of-concept ontwikkeld waarmee deze controles uitgevoerd kunnen worden en de resultaten worden vertaald naar duidelijke bevindingen en verbeteradviezen. De tool helpt om sneller inzicht te krijgen in de beveiligingsstatus van een e-mailomgeving.

De resultaten van dit project kunnen Hackify ondersteunen bij het adviseren van klanten en bij het verder versterken van hun dienstverlening op het gebied van e-mailbeveiliging.

Software From Backend Logs to Operational Insight: Designing a Telemetry Analytics Platform for WeHeat's Back-End

Title: From Backend Logs to Operational Insight: Designing a Telemetry Analytics Platform for WeHeat's Back-End Description:

This project addresses the challenge of turning Weheat's raw backend application logs into a foundation for operational insight across the platform. The Weheat backend — a .NET monolith hosting public APIs, internal services, and the per-board sockets that maintain persistent connections to each control board in the field — emits millions of trace events daily into Azure Application Insights, but until now these logs were used primarily for ad-hoc debugging rather than systematic monitoring.
The work spans the full data path from log emission to actionable output. On the source side, the project required substantial changes to the .NET backend's logging itself: introducing structured properties that make events analyzable at scale, and refactoring noisy or ambiguous log patterns that previously made aggregation unreliable.
From there, the project built an end-to-end pipeline: data flows from Application Insights into Azure storage, then into a Databricks lakehouse organized into bronze, silver, and gold tiers — cleaning, deduplicating, and providing purpose-built projections for API health, firmware update sessions, control board lifecycle events, and per-device search.
On top of this foundation, four categories of operational tooling were delivered. Dashboards present the state of the backend and the fleet to engineering and support teams. Alerts surface emerging issues — new error signatures, firmware regressions, capacity saturation — without requiring anyone to watch a screen. AI-driven anomaly detection identifies unusual patterns that fixed thresholds would miss. And a natural-language assistant (Genie space) lets Support and other non-technical teams ask questions about any heat pump in plain English — supplying a control board serial number to get back its current status, recent telemetry, and likely reasons it isn't connecting.
The choice of Databricks itself was a research outcome: comparable platforms were evaluated against Weheat's requirements — trace data scale, Azure integration, support for both analytics and ML workloads, and accessibility for non-data-engineering teams — before settling on the lakehouse approach.

Organisational Processes Product Pricing and Performance Recovery Platform with AI Implementation

Title: Product Pricing and Performance Recovery Platform with AI Implementation Description:

WWL's e-commerce marketing team is currently struggling with manual price adjustments and identifying product underperformance in real time. Because current systems only allow them to act reactively, they often face bleeding margins and underperforming product listings that lose their sales momentum before anyone even notices.

To solve this, I developed a prototype that analyzes all product listings for underperformance. This platform transforms price optimization from a manual chore into a proactive strategy backed by data. It integrates all the comapnies e-commerce data, competitor pricing and a weekly seasonality index to calculate an accurate performance baseline (the optimal performance potential) for every product listing.

The core of the prototype is a Performance State script. It tracks listings over time and automatically triggers a recovery strategy when a product enters a period where it is underperforming compared to its baseline. This includes strategic On Hold periods to track erratic price and demand trends so that the recovery of a previously underperforming product can be tracked.

Furthermore, an integrated LLM implementation using Databricks Llama 4 is utilized to quickly summarize data proven root causes and actions to be taken for product improvement. By analyzing raw metrics across six commercial pillars like Traffic, stock and Pricing, the LLM generates instantly actionable diagnoses instead of just presenting raw numbers. This prototype aims to halt margin loss and empowers the marketing team to stop acting reactively, allowing them to proactively improve their product listings and operate strategically.

User Interaction Optimizing Digital Accessibility & User Flows

Title: Optimizing Digital Accessibility & User Flows Description:

During my graduation internship at Reuzenpanda, a software company focused on innovative digital solutions, I am working on two projects centered around accessibility, user experience, and data-driven improvement.

The first project, *Digital Accessibility*, researches whether Reuzenpanda.nl and Giantpanda.nl comply with the WCAG guidelines. Since 2025, these accessibility standards have become increasingly important in ensuring digital platforms are accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities. Besides identifying accessibility issues, I will also explore design principles and the balance between visual design and accessibility. The goal is to discover where the perfect balance lies for users, without negatively affecting attractiveness, usability, or user experience.

The second project focuses on optimizing user flows within the SaaS platform *Giantpanda*. Giantpanda is an AI-agent platform that can automatically manage schedules and communicate with customers, allowing businesses to focus on other important tasks. During development, limited user testing was conducted, creating uncertainty about whether the platform flows are clear and logical for users. I will identify, visualize, test, redesign, and retest key user flows using user feedback and real-time live data. By analyzing user behavior and drop-off points, I can determine which steps need improvement to create a smoother and more effective user experience.

During this presentation, I will take you through my process, my thoughts, choices, challenges, and the outcomes of both projects.

Hardware Interfacing Brum-1 Remote camera stream with latency-focussed adaptive quality control

Title: Brum-1 Remote camera stream with latency-focussed adaptive quality control Description:

For this project, I will be working on the Brum-1 car, this is a vehicle used to compete in the open category of the RDW Self Driving Challenge (SDC). In this challenge; Teams from various educational institutes compete on a custom built test track to see which car is best at tackling this track autonomously. The Brum-1 car has won this challenge in the last two years.
Next to the RDW challenge, This vehicle is a project that Fontys likes to demonstrate as a possibility within the work of the students at Fontys ICT. By showcasing this, Fontys hopes to enthuse potential new students and business partners alike to work with or study at Fontys ICT. To create a more interactive demonstration, The Lectoraat would like to include a live remote dashboard and control system to showcase remote control on the car. This results in the following project which will have the end goal of being both an educational and promotional product.
The current goal is to set up a live stream from the ZED camera on the Brum-1 to the remote dashboard device over a wireless network. This means that available bandwidth will not always be optimal and thus, it is important to include a system that adaptively changes the stream quality to reduce latency and loss of visual all together.

User Interaction LD-110 Lumen Decoder (Audio cassette based LED controller)

Title: LD-110 Lumen Decoder (Audio cassette based LED controller) Description:

The LD-110 is a cassette-based LED controller that turns ordinary audio tape into animated light. Instead of using a phone, computer, or cloud-connected app, the demo stores visual data as sound on a compact cassette. When the tape plays back, the controller decodes the signal and translates it into patterns, images, and animations on a LED display.

The project explores what happens when outdated media is treated as a creative interface rather than just obsolete technology. Cassette tape is noisy, unstable, and very much not designed for storing pixel data, which makes it a perfect little chaos machine for experimenting with timing, signal decoding, and physical interaction.

Visitors can see and hear the system working: the tape produces the encoded audio signal, the electronics interpret it, and the LED matrix responds in real time. The result feels somewhere between a retro hi-fi component, a data decoder, and a tiny haunted television.

The LD-110 is part technical experiment, part interaction design project, and part fake consumer product from an alternate 1980s where people stored light shows next to mixtapes.

Infrastructure Cbw. Compliance in Kaart

Title: Cbw. Compliance in Kaart Description:

Halverwege 2026 treedt naar verwachting de Cyberbeveiligingswet (Cbw.) in werking, de Nederlandse uitwerking van de Europese NIS2-richtlijn. Voor organisaties roept dit twee vragen op: geldt deze wet voor mij, en waar moet ik dan precies aan voldoen? Bij CyberPeak ben ik bezig geweest om een template op te zetten waarmee klanten ondersteund kunnen worden in het beantwoorden van deze vragen.

Dit project beantwoordt die behoefte met een modulair en herbruikbaar assessment-template waarmee de Cbw. compliance van een organisatie inzichtelijk wordt gemaakt. De wet is daarvoor geanalyseerd en opgesplitst in meerdere modules, afgeleid van de zorgplicht, meldplicht en registratieplicht. Per organisatie kunnen de uitkomsten per module verschillen, en zullen er ook andere actiepunten naar voren komen.

Om tot deze template te komen is eerst onderzocht welke onderdelen van de wet relevant zijn. Daarna is er gekeken hoe deze vertaald konden worden naar toetsbare criteria. Vervolgens is er gekeken in hoeverre de bestaande richtlijnen en wetgeving, denk hierbij aan de ISO27001 en DORA, de Cbw.-eisen al afdekken. Op deze manier wordt zichtbaar welke modules een organisatie wellicht al geborgd heeft en waar nog stappen gezet moeten worden.

De werking van de template is uiteindelijk getest door het uitvoeren van een Proof of Concept binnen CyberPeak. Hiermee is de theorie achter de template geverifieerd en is inzichtelijk gemaakt of de template ook bruikbare inzichten oplevert. De uitkomst hiervan vormt, samen met de aanbevelingen voor gebruik en doorontwikkeling, een tool waarmee organisaties inzicht krijgen in de wetgeving en gericht kunnen werken naar verbetering binnen de organisatie.

Organisational Processes Hoe kan de ‘Actielijst’ binnen Medicom worden vernieuwd en op hetzelfde niveau worden gebracht als de andere componenten die PharmaPartners gebruikt?

Title: Hoe kan de ‘Actielijst’ binnen Medicom worden vernieuwd en op hetzelfde niveau worden gebracht als de andere componenten die PharmaPartners gebruikt? Description:

Een van de functionaliteiten die momenteel tekortschiet bij het softwareplatform van PharmaPartners is de actielijst, een onderdeel dat bedoeld is om acties, taken en opvolgpunten binnen de huisartsenpraktijk te structureren. Uit signalen blijkt dat deze actielijst niet genoeg wordt gebruikt omdat deze niet aansluit op de dagelijkse werkwijze van huisartsen en praktijkmedewerkers. In plaats daarvan wordt de agenda gebruikt als workaround om acties te plannen. Dit leidt tot inefficiëntie, gebrek aan overzicht en een workflow die afwijkt van wat er verwacht wordt door het HIS-referentiemodel. Later in dit document wordt er beschreven hoe sleutelwoorden als efficiëntie, overzicht, toekomstbestendigheid en duidelijkheid gemeten worden.
Daarnaast is de huidige interface van de actielijst verouderd: de UI is onoverzichtelijk, bevat overbodige functies en vereist te veel handelingen voor simpele acties. Ook de beschikbare filteropties sluiten niet aan op de praktijkbehoeften, waardoor gebruikers sneller afhaken. Dit project is daarom gericht op het achterhalen waarom de actielijst onvoldoende wordt gebruikt en hoe deze opnieuw ontworpen kan worden zodat deze wel relevant, duidelijk en ondersteunend is voor de verschillende gebruikers in de huisartsenpraktijk, zoals huisartsen, doktersassistenten en praktijkondersteuners.
Het doel van het project is om de huidige problemen in kaart te brengen, gebruikersbehoeften te onderzoeken en te komen tot een herontwerp van de actielijst. De beoogde output bestaat uit een onderzoeksrapport met bevindingen, aangevuld met UX voorstellen of conceptmock ups die als basis kunnen dienen voor verdere ontwikkeling door het R&D team.
Ten slotte wordt er ook gekeken naar implementatie van dit project, dus het schrijven van een applicatie dat aansl;uit op de behoeftes van PharmaPartners

Software The Golden Age of Art and AI: A Journey to Personalised Museum Experience

Title: The Golden Age of Art and AI: A Journey to Personalised Museum Experience Description:

During my graduation internship at iO Digital, in collaboration with the Rijksmuseum, I designed and developed an AI-powered personalised museum experience system focused on solving the cold-start recommendation problem for transient museum visitors — including foreign tourists and one-time visitors who have no prior interaction history with the museum.

Unlike conventional recommendation platforms such as Netflix or Spotify, which rely on accumulated user behaviour, museum visitors are predominantly non-recurring. This makes traditional collaborative filtering approaches unsuitable, as no historical preference data exists at the point of a visit. This fundamental gap formed the foundation of my research.

To determine which retrieval approach best addresses this challenge, I built and evaluated four distinct architectures against a curated corpus of 500 Rijksmuseum artworks, enriched using a two-pass Visual Language Model annotation protocol via LLaVA. The architectures evaluated were: two semantic text embedding models (MiniLM and MPNet), a multimodal visual embedding model (CLIP), and a knowledge graph reasoning approach (GraphRAG) built on Neo4j integrated with a large language model.

Each architecture was assessed across multiple metrics covering retrieval precision, ranking quality, and user engagement. A total of 124 participants provided interaction data through a purpose-built evaluation interface. The system was deployed on AWS EC2 using FastAPI, Docker Compose, Nginx, and Qdrant as the vector store.

Results showed that CLIP achieved the strongest composite performance, suggesting that visual similarity is the dominant retrieval signal when visitors have no textual preference history. Semantic models performed competitively on text based queries, and GraphRAG demonstrated structured reasoning potential for future investigation.

This work delivers a validated retrieval component within a broader planned pipeline that will extend to conversational preference elicitation and indoor navigation, progressing toward a fully personalised, cold-start-resilient museum experience.

Infrastructure Automated CI/CD Deployment Pipeline for Thinkwise Applications

Title: Automated CI/CD Deployment Pipeline for Thinkwise Applications Description:

The BAS World Thinkwise development teams were doing manual software releases to the acceptance environment, where application managers would directly test. This introduced risks such as insufficient time to test the applications, leading to inconsistent deployments.

This project resolves this by introducing a new environment called TEST. All technical validations are done in this environment before changes move to acceptance. The release runs nightly from development to test and only triggers when a new merge is detected — if not, the pipeline stops immediately. This was done to relieve the workload on application managers, while the acceptance environment remains available for functional and user testing per sprint, giving teams a reliable baseline for sprint reviews.

To support this, the branching strategy moves to dynamic sub-branches where developers work in their own branch and merge to the main development branch when changes are complete. Each deployment to TEST gets a new IAM subversion in YYYY.MM.SSS format, keeping deployments traceable and consistent.

The pipeline from development to test consists of nine stages. After preparation, execution splits into three parallel paths: Path A generates and validates the Thinkwise model and source code, Path B creates a verified SQL Server backup, and Path C synchronizes the model to IAM and copies the application to a new versioned branch. All three converge at Execute Source Code, which upgrades the target database.

The result is a sprint-aligned release process that improves deployment quality, reduces manual effort, and gives technical teams a reliable environment to work from.

User Interaction Digitale Ondersteuning voor Eigen Regie bij Jongeren Binnen WIJeindhoven

Title: Digitale Ondersteuning voor Eigen Regie bij Jongeren Binnen WIJeindhoven Description:

WIJeindhoven is een organisatie die inwoners van Eindhoven ondersteunt bij het versterken van hun eigen kracht, netwerk en zelfstandigheid. Zij werken vanuit nabijheid, maatwerk en gelijkwaardige samenwerking tussen inwoners en professionals, met als doel dat mensen zoveel mogelijk zelf regie houden over hun leven en ondersteuning.

Jongeren die ondersteuning ontvangen van WIJeindhoven ervaren vaak weinig overzicht, inzicht en regie binnen hun eigen ondersteuningsproces. Hoewel WIJeindhoven werkt vanuit gelijkwaardige samenwerking, maatwerk en het versterken van eigen kracht, sluit de huidige digitale ondersteuning hier nog onvoldoende op aan. Jongeren hebben op dit moment geen directe toegang tot hun eigen informatie, waardoor ondersteuning vaak onduidelijk en versnipperd aanvoelt.

Dit project onderzoekt hoe een toekomstig inwonersportaal jongeren beter kan ondersteunen in het krijgen van meer grip op hun traject. Het doel is het ontwerpen van een digitale oplossing die ondersteuningsinformatie op een duidelijke, toegankelijke en betekenisvolle manier samenbrengt. Denk hierbij aan inzicht in doelen, afspraken, voortgang en betrokken professionals.

Het eindresultaat van dit project is een interactief high-fidelity prototype voor een jongerengerichte digitale omgeving binnen het toekomstige inwonersportaal van WIJeindhoven. Het laat zien hoe digitale ondersteuning jongeren meer overzicht, inzicht en eigen regie kan geven in hun ondersteuningstraject, in lijn met de visie van WIJeindhoven op gelijkwaardige samenwerking en eigen kracht.

Software Security by Design Framework: From Standards to Automated Audit Evidence

Title: Security by Design Framework: From Standards to Automated Audit Evidence Description:

Many organizations must prove during audits that their systems follow security standards, but the required evidence is often scattered, technical, and collected manually. This graduation project designs a reusable Security by Design framework for Axians Q&R that translates international security standards and regulations into clear security controls, baselines, and audit-ready evidence expectations.

The framework is demonstrated through a Monitoring & Logging Proof of Concept. Using Logic Monitor data from an Axians-scoped environment and Windmill automation, selected controls are evaluated consistently and turned into structured evidence output. The result is a practical approach that helps engineers, security officers, customers, and auditors understand what must be checked, what evidence is available, and where gaps remain.

The project focuses on making security requirements repeatable, understandable, and easier to validate across different sectors and business units.

Software Integrating Secure Device Telemetry into a Multi-Tenant IT Hardware Lifecycle Platform

Title: Integrating Secure Device Telemetry into a Multi-Tenant IT Hardware Lifecycle Platform Description:

Managed Service Providers and IT resellers in the Benelux region traditionally face an operational blind spot after deploying hardware: they lose all visibility into how physical devices perform over time. Without empirical data, their enterprise clients cannot track battery degradation or other health metrics, resulting in unpredictable workplace failures, reactive procurement cycles, and premature electronic waste.
This graduation project addresses the gap by extending Afterservice's multi-tenant SaaS platform with a secure device telemetry subsystem. The architectural contribution introduces three integrated layers that move resellers from a reactive posture to a proactive lifecycle service.

The first layer is a cross-platform device agent, distributed through standard app stores and configured through client MDM infrastructure. The agent executes localized OS-level queries to collect daily aggregated hardware metrics. Battery wear, resource utilization, and related signals are sent once a day without continuous user tracking or streaming telemetry.

The second layer is a secure ingestion API built directly into the Afterservice platform. It receives the agent's payloads and routes them to white-labeled administrator dashboards. Security is treated as a design constraint rather than an afterthought: authentication secrets are hashed at rest, device bootstrapping uses a two-stage token exchange so that no long-lived credential is embedded in the binary, and query-level tenant scoping guarantees data segregation across customers.

The third layer is an analytical advisory engine that translates raw time-series metrics into procurement and logistics recommendations. Rather than surfacing raw data, it isolates which assets need maintenance, forecasts replacement timing, and proposes redistribution strategies that match existing hardware to actual workforce demand.

Together, these layers allow resellers evolve from one-time hardware sales into a recurring lifecycle service, while giving their enterprise clients full fleet transparency and data-informed reuse decisions that extend asset life and support corporate sustainability goals.

Infrastructure Automating Installation and Upgrade Management of UbiOps Deployments Using GitOps

Title: Automating Installation and Upgrade Management of UbiOps Deployments Using GitOps Description:

This graduation internship at UbiOps focuses on designing and implementing a proof of concept that applies GitOps principles to the installation and upgrade process of the UbiOps platform. UbiOps is a platform for deploying and managing private AI solutions in secure environments, including on-premises, hybrid, and fully air-gapped infrastructures. As its customer base grows, so does the operational effort of deploying and maintaining the platform across varied infrastructures.
The current deployment process relies on Helm charts orchestrated through imperative Bash scripts and local files on a jumphost and requires significant manual effort which makes the process difficult to reproduce and maintain consistently across customer environments.
The purpose of this project is to investigate how GitOps principles can be applied to automate and standardize this process. GitOps is a declarative, Git-centric approach to infrastructure management in which the desired state of the system is defined in a Git repository and continuously reconciled with the actual state of the Kubernetes cluster by a GitOps controller.
As part of the project, a proof of concept was developed that includes self-contained Helm charts, secure management of sensitive values in Git and a Git-based repository structure where each customer environment has its own isolated source of truth. The solution is designed to support both connected and air-gapped deployments.
The goal of this project is to provide UbiOps with a working proof of concept and practical recommendations for adopting GitOps to make the installation and upgrade process of the platform more automated, repeatable, auditable and maintainable across both connected and air-gapped customer environments.

Software Tekeninggenerator

Title: Tekeninggenerator Description:

Tijdens dit afstudeerproject is een tekeninggenerator ontwikkeld voor VeriCon, een bouwadviesbedrijf, waarmee automatisch vormtekeningen gegenereerd kunnen worden vanuit componenten van de Virtual Building Generator (VBG), een applicatie ontwikkeld door VeriCon. Het project richt zich op het verminderen van handmatig tekenwerk dat momenteel nog nodig is na export van gemaakte bouwonderdelen van de VBG naar software zoals Tekla. Vooral bij complexere prefab bouwonderdelen kosten maatvoering en labels veel tijd om handmatig te corrigeren.
De applicatie is ontwikkeld in C#/.NET en maakt gebruik van een generiek tekenmodel waarmee VBG-wanden omgezet kunnen worden naar vormtekeningen in PDF. Hierbij is onderzoek gedaan naar tekenstandaarden, maatvoering, softwarearchitectuur en uitbreidbaarheid. Daarnaast is rekening gehouden met uitbreidbaarheid naar andere VBG-onderdelen en exportformaten naast PDF.
Het resultaat is een werkende basis voor het automatisch genereren van professionele vormtekeningen, waarmee modelleurs minder repetitief handmatig werk hoeven uit te voeren en efficiënter prefab-projecten kunnen uitwerken.

Software LorelAI for Slack: Integrating Generative AI into Workplace Communication

Title: LorelAI for Slack: Integrating Generative AI into Workplace Communication Description:

This graduation project focuses on integrating LorelAI, an enterprise generative AI platform for retrieval-augmented knowledge access, into Slack through a conversational chatbot interface. LorelAI enables users to interact with internal organizational data using AI-powered natural language queries. The project extends this functionality into Slack, the primary internal communication platform used within the organization.

The goal of the project is to make access to internal knowledge more seamless, contextual, and accessible within existing workplace communication workflows. Instead of requiring users to switch between separate applications, the integration allows employees to interact with LorelAI directly inside Slack through natural conversational interactions.

The project explores the design and implementation of a chatbot interface that combines conversational UX principles, Slack platform integration, and generative AI technologies. Particular attention is given to usability, contextual interaction, response clarity, and the balance between AI assistance and workplace communication practices.

From a technical perspective, the project involves integrating backend AI services, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) functionality, and Slack-based interaction systems into a cohesive user experience. The final result shows how generative AI can become a more natural part of daily communication and collaboration by bringing intelligent knowledge access directly into tools employees already use every day.

Organisational Processes AI Document Assistant for Internal Knowledge Retrieval

Title: AI Document Assistant for Internal Knowledge Retrieval Description:

This graduation project focuses on the design, development and validation of an AI Document Assistant that helps employees retrieve reliable answers from internal documentation.

The prototype uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation to combine document search with generative AI. Instead of answering from general model knowledge, the assistant retrieves relevant document fragments first and uses these as context for the final answer. This supports source traceability, limited scope and more controlled use of AI in a professional environment.

Privacy and responsible AI use are important design principles in the project. The solution is designed with GDPR considerations in mind by limiting the scope to selected internal documents, using source references, avoiding unnecessary data storage and relying on Azure’s European Data Zone for AI processing. This supports data residency within Europe and aligns the technical setup with organisational privacy requirements.

The project started with problem analysis, stakeholder needs and document selection. These insights were translated into requirements, a functional design, technical architecture and a working prototype. The prototype includes document processing, chunking, embeddings, vector search, answer generation, source references and a user interface.

Infrastructure Fusie van Microsoft-omgevingen en Applicatielandschappen

Title: Fusie van Microsoft-omgevingen en Applicatielandschappen Description:

Microsoft 365 tenant consolidatie Ratho & Dotcombusiness
Ratho en Dotcombusiness (DCB) werken steeds intensiever samen, maar hebben tot nu toe twee volledig gescheiden IT-omgevingen. Elk bedrijf heeft een eigen Microsoft 365-tenant met eigen gebruikers, mailboxen, Teams-omgeving, SharePoint-sites en beveiligingsinstellingen. Dat zorgt voor dubbel beheerwerk, rommelige samenwerking via gastaccounts en geen centraal overzicht op security.

Wat gaat er gebeuren?
Alle gebruikers, mail, bestanden, Teams-data en apparaten van DCB verhuizen naar de bestaande Ratho-tenant. Er wordt dus géén nieuwe tenant opgezet, de Ratho-omgeving blijft gewoon draaien en wordt het nieuwe gezamenlijke thuis. Na de migratie wordt de DCB-tenant uitgefaseerd.

Wat blijft hetzelfde?
Allebei de bedrijven behouden hun eigen identiteit. Medewerkers van DCB blijven mailen vanaf @dotcombusiness.nl, Ratho-medewerkers blijven @ratho.nl gebruiken. Beide bedrijven houden hun eigen branding, handtekeningen en certificeringen (ISO 27001, NEN 7510). Naar buiten toe verandert er niets.

Wat levert het op?
Eén omgeving om te beheren in plaats van twee. Medewerkers van beide bedrijven kunnen direct samenwerken in Teams, agenda's delen en bestanden uitwisselen zonder gastaccounts. Eén consistent beveiligingsbeleid en één plek voor licentiebeheer. Alle DCB-gebruikers krijgen daarbij een upgrade van Microsoft 365 E3 naar E5.

Hoe wordt het uitgevoerd?
De migratie loopt in zeven fases met migratietool AvePoint Fly: eerst voorbereiding, dan een pilot met een kleine groep DCB-medewerkers, vervolgens stap voor stap e-mail, Teams en SharePoint, OneDrive en als laatste de apparaten via Intune. Door gefaseerd te werken kunnen we tussentijds testen en bijsturen, zodat de bedrijfscontinuïteit van beide bedrijven niet in gevaar komt.

Software Integration of Legacy Emergency Service Management into a Modern Cloud-Based Platform

Title: Integration of Legacy Emergency Service Management into a Modern Cloud-Based Platform Description:

I completed my graduation internship at Swisscom, Switzerland’s leading telecommunications and IT provider known for delivering secure and reliable digital and communication services. During my time at the Swisscom DevOps Center in Rotterdam, I worked in the Voice Communication Services department, which develops web platforms that help business customers and emergency service providers manage voice numbers and related configurations.

One of the team’s older internal tools, the ODS Service Desk portal, was created several years ago to manage emergency communication scenarios. Although it was built using modern technology of its time, it has not been maintained at the same pace as other Swisscom portals. Over time, this led to increased maintenance effort, higher operational costs, and growing technical debt for the team. To address these challenges, the team decided to integrate its core emergency management functionalities directly into the modern B2B Voice Portal.

My internship project focused on integrating the ODS Service Desk functionalities into the modern B2B Voice Portal to create one unified, reliable environment that supports emergency communication workflows with higher security, improved monitoring, and a better user experience. The project began with an extensive analysis phase, where I examined both platforms in detail, gathered requirements from stakeholders, and collaborated with the team and product owner to define a clear integration approach. I proposed and planned the solution, then implemented the integration across the front-end and back-end, extended observability and authentication to improve system transparency and secure access. Throughout the process, I applied DevOps practices such as continuous integration, automated deployment, and iterative feedback to ensure smooth implementation and delivery.

This modernization reduces maintenance overhead and ensures the system can evolve alongside Swisscom’s other platforms. It increases operational stability and supports the delivery of reliable emergency communication services across Switzerland, reinforcing Swisscom’s focus on dependable technology and high service quality.

User Interaction Locaties in beeld

Title: Locaties in beeld Description:

Atalenta is een maatschappelijke organisatie voor kindontwikkeling met meer dan 35 verschillende locaties in meerdere regio's. Vanuit de regio Valkenswaard is veel informatie beschikbaar over de regio, locaties, in- en uitstroom en ontwikkelingen. Deze informatie is momenteel echter verspreid over verschillende systemen en documenten, waardoor het lastig is om snel een samenhangend en actueel overzicht te krijgen. Hierdoor is het voor de regiodirectie en de locatiedirecteuren moeilijk om inzicht te krijgen in de stand van zaken binnen de organisatie en de regio als geheel.

Daarnaast is er binnen de organisatie nog geen sterke datacultuur aanwezig. Datagedreven werken is nog in ontwikkeling, waardoor deze opdracht niet alleen gericht is op het ontwerpen van een oplossing, maar ook op het ondersteunen van een bredere verandering in de manier van werken. Dit vraagt om een ontwerp dat goed aansluit bij de huidige praktijk en eindgebruikers ondersteunt in de stap naar meer overzicht en inzicht.

Deze opdracht richt zich op het ontwerpen van een visuele en gebruiksvriendelijke oplossing die deze versnipperde informatie samenbrengt in één integraal overzicht. Het doel is om de organisatie te ondersteunen in het verkrijgen van beter inzicht, zodat besluitvorming en proactieve sturing verbeterd kunnen worden. Hierbij ligt de nadruk op het ontwerpen van een intuïtieve en toegankelijke manier om data te presenteren en nog niet op het daadwerkelijk koppelen van databronnen.

De opdracht richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een concept, ontwerp en clickable prototype in Figma voor een dashboardomgeving waarin beschikbare data binnen de regio overzichtelijk wordt weergegeven. Hierbij staat de eindgebruiker centraal: regiodirectie en locatiedirecteuren moeten in één oogopslag inzicht kunnen krijgen in relevante informatie over locaties, zonder dat zij zelf gegevens hoeven te verzamelen of interpreteren uit verschillende bronnen.

Tijdens het project is er onderzocht welke informatiebehoefte er is binnen de organisatie en hoe deze het beste visueel vertaald kan worden naar een overzichtelijk ontwerp.

Het eindresultaat van deze opdracht bestaat uit een clickable prototype in Figma met een ontwerpvoorstel, aangevuld met een adviesrapport en implementatieplan. Hiermee wordt een basis geboden om het concept in een vervolgtraject daadwerkelijk binnen de organisatie te kunnen implementeren en verder te ontwikkelen richting een structurele manier van datagedreven werken binnen Atalenta in de regio Valkenswaard.

Software Network Docent: Real-Time RSTP monitoring for Large-Scale AV Networks

Title: Network Docent: Real-Time RSTP monitoring for Large-Scale AV Networks Description:

Professional audio-visual networks rely on Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) to prevent switching loops and ensure network stability. When RSTP is misconfigured, even subtly, the result can be degraded audio, unexpected device dropouts, or complete network failure during a live event. For the large-scale, critical installations that Keenfinity delivers, spanning airports, stadiums, conference centres, and secured facilities, such failures carry serious operational and safety consequences.

Keenfinity provides professional audio, voice alarm, conferencing, and security solutions, where reliable network infrastructure is not a convenience but a requirement. Network Docent is an existing Windows desktop tool used by AV network installers to scan, visualize, and monitor these networks. It discovers devices, including OMNEO/OCA and SNMP-capable devices, and renders them as an interactive network graph, issuing real-time alerts when devices connect or disconnect.

This project extends Network Docent with a dedicated RSTP monitoring and diagnostics layer. By querying managed switches via SNMP using standardised MIBs (BRIDGE-MIB and RSTP-MIB), the tool now surfaces STP timers, bridge priorities, port roles, and port states directly on the live network graph. Installers can see at a glance which switch holds the root bridge role and which ports are blocking or forwarding, without needing CLI access or specialist protocol knowledge.

Beyond visibility, the extension includes a structured alert system that flags common RSTP failure modes: topology change storms, unexpected root bridge elections, port role transitions, and loop-risk configurations such as oversized rings with misconfigured Max Age timers.

The result is a diagnostic tool that translates raw RSTP protocol data into actionable, human-readable insights, empowering installers to resolve network issues independently and reducing reliance on senior engineers for first-line support.

Hardware Interfacing Teaching a Farming Robot to Feel the Soil

Title: Teaching a Farming Robot to Feel the Soil Description:

AIgro builds autonomous robots that drive themselves across farm fields and carry different tools. One of those tools is a cultivator: a set of hoes dragged through the ground to break up the soil and remove weeds. Today this cultivator is purely mechanical. The robot pulls it through the soil with no idea of what is happening below: it cannot tell how hard the soil is, whether a hoe is stuck, or even whether the tool is touching the ground at all.
My graduation project gives this cultivator a sense of touch. By adding force sensors to the hoes, the tool can now measure how strongly the soil resists it and send that information back to the robot. With this feedback, the robot can eventually adjust its working depth and speed on its own, and free itself when it hits an obstruction, without a person stepping in.
The project also explores a bigger question: could the robot sense the soil without any extra sensors at all? Every robot already measures how much power its motors use. I tested whether that power alone can reveal how hard the soil is. If it can, future versions of the tool would need fewer parts making them cheaper, simpler, and less likely to fail in the field.
Through calibration, field testing, and data analysis, I built the sensing system and showed that motor power is a strong indicator of soil resistance. The result is a working foundation for smarter, more self-reliant farm robots.

Hardware Interfacing Arete: an embeddable language for microcontrollers

Title: Arete: an embeddable language for microcontrollers Description:

Nobleo Technology is a contractor for embedded systems development. In this line of work, two problems arise:

- Contracting companies do not always have the expertise to make business-logic-level changes to the software they hired Nobleo to develop;
- Developing for embedded systems can be inaccessible to experts in adjacent fields (e.g. engineers, researchers) in a multi-disciplinary team.

My project has been to create a proof-of-concept to help determine whether building a programming language is a worthwhile means of solving these problems. This proof of concept comes in the form of the Arete programming language compiler and toolchain.

Arete lets an embedded systems developer embed Arete's runtime into an existing Zephyr project. Each embedding can specify their own API boundary tailored to the problem domain. Once set up, anyone with the Arete CLI tool can upload and download code to be run by the "host". The developer then enjoys a static type system, unit of measurement checking, matrix support, memory safety, and protection against stack overflows, in a language modeled after MatLab & Python.

User Interaction Driegisignage - Een digital signage systeem voor drie ⴾ digitaal

Title: Driegisignage - Een digital signage systeem voor drie ⴾ digitaal Description:

Binnen het creatieve bureau drie ⴾ digitaal bestaat er momenteel een mismatch tussen de energieke online identiteit en de fysieke kantooromgeving. Hoewel de organisatie streeft naar een langdurige klantrelatie en een vlekkeloze eerste indruk, ontbreekt het in de praktijk aan visuele ondersteuning en duidelijkheid bij de entree en in de vergaderruimtes. Klanten ervaren hierdoor soms onzekerheid bij binnenkomst. Tegelijkertijd werkt het team met strakke planningen en focustijden, waardoor nog meer handmatige systemen wegens de beheerlast niet gebruikt gaan worden. In dit afstudeerproject is met behulp van de Design Thinking-methodologie gezocht naar de ideale balans tussen automatisering en een persoonlijke benadering. Op basis van een identiteitsanalyse, een nulmeting onder medewerkers en klanten, en digital signage-designrichtlijnen is het concept 'driegisignage' ontwikkeld.

Het project levert drie concrete deliverables op:
Scherm-visuals: High-Fidelity ontwerpen (in Figma) voor een dynamisch welkomstscherm en templates voor project showcases en succesverhalen die de huisstijl en unieke cultuur ademen.
Centrale Hub (Middleware): Een gebruiksvriendelijke webapplicatie die automatisch agendadata uit Google Calendar ontsluit en vertaalt naar welkomstschermen voor klanten en bezoekers, zonder extra dagelijkse werkdruk voor het personeel.
Implementatieplan: Een advies voor de definitieve uitrol, gebaseerd op een voorafgaande technische Proof of Concept via AbleSign-software en hardware-dongles. Dit plan omzeilt de softwarebeperkingen van de schermen en garandeert een autonome workflow.

Software LabTracks

Title: LabTracks Description:

The Trans Realities Lab (TRL) is a research laboratory that is run by Design Academy Eindhoven. Their work revolves around research and implementation of extended reality (XR) in different fields, such as design, performing, virtual production, cinema, and such. Their research usually tends to focus on combining other fields/domains with XR-related technologies to solve real-world problems highly specialized companies face. They particularly specialize in digital/remote movie production, involving multiple parties and production teams across the world.

TRL recently moved to a new location on the High Tech campus, along with their production space. During the reconstruction of their production studio, they encountered organizational issues when putting together complex systems such as video and audio recording rigs, motion capture systems, and complex lighting systems.

LabTracks is a web-based code-to-image diagramming tool that helps lab technicians map out the cabling between the devices in the production studio. While being specialized for a XR movie production research lab, it still remains ambiguous that it can be used for any combination of devices, cables, and wireless connections.
It features a custom-made compiler that takes user input in the format of "supercharged YAML" syntax, produces a diagram out of it that can be further manipulated if necessary. The diagrams can be exported as JPG/PNG/SVG and imported again to be edited.
The tool was built using TypeScript, React, Chevrotain and Monaco.

Infrastructure Azure Landing Zone as a standard foundation for secure, manageable, and scalable cloud infrastructure within Microsoft Azure

Title: Azure Landing Zone as a standard foundation for secure, manageable, and scalable cloud infrastructure within Microsoft Azure Description:

With the growing demand for standardized and scalable cloud environments, it has become important to improve the setup and management of Azure environments. Currently, Azure environments are often configured manually and separately for each project, which leads to differences in architecture, governance, security, and manageability between environments.

To solve these challenges, an Azure Landing Zone is used as the foundation within Microsoft Azure. The goal is to create cloud environments that are more standardized, scalable, and easier to manage. This is done by using the Microsoft Enterprise-Scale model and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), allowing environments to be deployed in a consistent and automated way through CI/CD pipelines.

This project therefore focuses on designing an Azure Landing Zone as a standardized foundation for setting up cloud environments within Microsoft Azure. The objective is to develop a consistent and reusable baseline architecture based on Microsoft best practices, where governance, security, and management are included from the start. By using Infrastructure as Code, cloud environments can be deployed in a scalable, automated, and reliable way. This provides more control, reduces errors, and improves the management of cloud environments for organizations and their customers.

Software AI-Assisted Booking Line Proposals for Non-PO Peppol Invoices

Title: AI-Assisted Booking Line Proposals for Non-PO Peppol Invoices Description:

Many organizations receive Peppol e-invoices, but processing them is not always fully automatic. Suppliers are required to provide certain fields and codes on the invoice, but not all, and especially, not the ones most needed for the booking process. When purchase order numbers are missing or invoice details do not match exactly with system data, accountants spend plenty of time checking suppliers' identities, interpreting invoice lines, and selecting accounting fields such as general ledger accounts, VAT codes, dimensions, and flexible fields.
Qobee was facing the same problem, so I came up with a solution: an AI pipeline that automates the most labor-intensive part of the non-purchase-order invoice processing: generating booking proposals per invoice line.
For each non-PO invoice line, the system retrieves the supplier's historical booking lines and combines them with the semantic content of the current invoice line, such as the line description, amount, and VAT rate, line notes, to propose the most appropriate general ledger account, VAT code, up to three cost dimensions, and up to five flexible accounting fields. Each proposal comes with a confidence score. Where the available history is too sparse or inconsistent to reason from reliably, the system explicitly flags the line rather than producing an unreliable guess.
The system follows a hybrid architecture: deterministic logic where the data is clear, AI support where ambiguity arises and always keeps a human accountant in the loop for final review and approval.
Built natively inside Oracle Database 26ai using large language models via OCI Generative AI, the pipeline integrates directly with Qobee's existing Peppol processing infrastructure, making it an important foundation for intelligent invoice processing within Qobee.

User Interaction Designing an engaging UX and UI for the Taaltreffers language learning game.

Title: Designing an engaging UX and UI for the Taaltreffers language learning game. Description:

My graduation project focuses on an educational vocabulary learning game designed for ISK schools in the Netherlands. ISK (Internationale Schakelklas) schools support international students who have recently moved to the Netherlands and are learning Dutch as a second language. Many of these students struggle with traditional learning methods because they can feel repetitive and insufficiently engaging, especially for teenagers between 12 and 18 years old.

The game combines physical interaction with a digital application to create a more engaging learning experience. During gameplay, students see an image on the screen together with empty squares representing a Dutch word they need to guess. In front of them are physical pins displaying different letters. The student throws a bean bag at the correct letter pin, and when the pin falls, the selected letter appears on the digital screen and fills one of the empty squares. The player continues until the entire word is completed correctly.

The existing concept mainly focused on the physical interaction and technical testing of the pins. The digital screen only displayed basic information for testing the physical setup. My role within this project is to redesign and improve the digital part of the game by focusing on UX/UI design and adding features that improve usability, accessibility, and engagement for NT2 learners.
The redesigned application introduces elements such as levels, categories, feedback systems, visual guidance, clearer navigation, and progress tracking. Special attention is given to visual communication to support students with different language levels.

Throughout the project, research methods such as interviews, observations, brainstorming, prototyping, and user testing were used to better understand the needs of ISK students and translate these insights into design decisions. The project demonstrates how UX/UI design and gamification can improve educational experiences and make language learning more accessible and enjoyable for international students.

Software ESHR Internal Intelligence Tool

Title: ESHR Internal Intelligence Tool Description:

The ESHR Internal Intelligence Tool is an internal platform designed to help security and infrastructure analysts turn noisy technical tool outputs into clear, structured, and auditable insights.

During security testing, analysts often work with large amounts of raw output from tools such as network scanners, vulnerability scanners, logs, and automation scripts. Reviewing this information manually can be time-consuming and inconsistent, especially when findings need to be compared over time or translated into report-ready conclusions.

My project focuses on building a technical foundation for this workflow. The tool ingests raw scan results, stores them in a normalized database, links findings back to their original evidence, and presents the information through a dashboard. On top of this structured data layer, AI-assisted components can help summarize findings, highlight relevant changes, and support analysts in preparing consistent report items.

Hardware Interfacing Automating System Health Checks for Transmission Electron Microscopes

Title: Automating System Health Checks for Transmission Electron Microscopes Description:

Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) are highly advanced instruments that use a beam of electrons instead of light to image samples at extremely high resolutions, enabling visualization at the nanoscale. These microscopes are widely used in fields such as materials science and life sciences to study structures at the atomic level. They require precise calibration and validation after service interventions such as software updates. At Thermo Fisher Scientific, Field Service Engineers (FSEs) currently perform a series of manual tests to verify system performance, leading to variability in quality and efficiency.

This project focuses on defining and automating a standardized set of post-service health checks for TEM systems. By collaborating with domain experts, the project identifies the most critical tests required to ensure reliable microscope operation. These tests are then implemented using AutoScript TEM, a Python-based API that enables direct control and automation of microscope functions.

The result is a scalable and consistent testing framework that reduces manual effort, minimizes human error, and improves reproducibility across global service operations. Automating these procedures not only enhances system reliability but also supports faster service turnaround times and more consistent customer experiences.

Software Churnvoorspelling in de telecomsector met machine learning

Title: Churnvoorspelling in de telecomsector met machine learning Description:

Dit afstudeerproject richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een machine learning-aanpak om klantverloop binnen de telecomsector te voorspellen. Het project wordt uitgevoerd bij Bryn en maakt gebruik van historische klant-, contract- en gebruiksdata van een telecomaanbieder om klanten met een verhoogd risico op churn tijdig te identificeren.

Een belangrijk onderdeel van het project is de contractcyclus. Klanten zijn vooral relevant voor churnvoorspelling in de laatste vier maanden van hun contract, omdat zij in deze periode kunnen besluiten om te verlengen, op te zeggen of hun abonnement voort te zetten. Het onderzoek richt zich daarom niet alleen op de vraag óf een klant mogelijk vertrekt, maar ook op het juiste moment waarop dit risico zichtbaar moet worden gemaakt.

Binnen het project worden data-analyse, datakwaliteitscontrole, feature engineering en modelontwikkeling gecombineerd. Verschillende machine learning-modellen worden getest en beoordeeld op voorspellende prestaties en praktische toepasbaarheid. Het uiteindelijke doel is een besluitondersteunende oplossing waarmee de organisatie klanten met een verhoogd churnrisico gestructureerd en uitlegbaar kan signaleren.

Software Improving Engineering Workflows through Automation at ASML

Title: Improving Engineering Workflows through Automation at ASML Description:

In high-tech engineering environments, manual processes are a bottleneck. They are time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale. This graduation project, carried out as a DevOps internship at ASML, addresses this challenge by automating two important engineering workflows using GitHub Actions and Python scripting.

The first automation targets the creation of patchscripts: scripts responsible for applying or reverting configuration changes whenever a patch is deployed. Previously a manual and repetitive task, this process was redesigned and automated, reducing engineering effort and ensuring consistency across patch operations.

The second automation focuses on the pre-delivery verification process. Before each software delivery, the engineering team was required to perform a series of checks manually, a process vulnerable to human error and dependent on individual availability. This checklist has now been fully integrated into a GitHub Actions pipeline, allowing checks to run automatically, consistently, and at scale with every delivery cycle.

Together, these two automations significantly reduce manual effort, improve reliability by eliminating human error, and contribute to faster and more predictable delivery cycles.

Hardware Interfacing Migrate Time-based Functionality into Event-based Functionality

Title: Migrate Time-based Functionality into Event-based Functionality Description:

The number of electronic components in vehicles has increased significantly in recent years. Due to trends such as automated driving and vehicle connectivity, modern vehicles demand ever-increasing functionalities. A zonal based architecture addresses several hardware and software issues by changing the traditional domain ownership model. At the center, a High-Performance Computing (HPC) platform serves as the core for vehicle functionality by providing the computational power needed to process intensive software workloads and automotive communication traffic. A high-performance platform has the potential to enable event-based communication on a prior time-based exclusive system.

The introduction of event-driven software in the current time-based DAF ecosystem causes concern. During my internship at DAF, I did a preliminary risk assessment on event-based communication in a zonal context. I evaluated my event-based implementation on the NXP GoldBox 3 Vehicle Networking Development Platform, a heterogeneous multi-core platform for automotive systems. Inter-Processing Communication (IPC) between a Linux environment and real-time cores, present on the same platform, was established using shared memory.

Infrastructure ZeroOps — Self-Service & AI Triage for the Modern MSP

Title: ZeroOps — Self-Service & AI Triage for the Modern MSP Description:

Managed Service Providers like Simac and Axians manage cloud environments for hundreds of clients every day — yet a surprising amount of that work is still done by hand. Password resets, virtual-machine roll-outs, reporting and incident handling cost engineers hours and leave clients waiting weeks, with little insight into what is actually happening.

ZeroOps reframes this as a self-service problem. It is a lightweight consumption layer that sits on top of a client's existing Azure tenant, orchestrated by the open-source platform Windmill. There is no migration and no rip-and-replace: engineers keep their own PowerShell and Python scripts, and an API-first architecture keeps the interface fully decoupled from the automation underneath.

The design splits into two React portals. In the User Panel, non-technical staff safely trigger actions themselves; in the Admin Panel, engineers approve heavier requests before anything touches the cloud — keeping self-service convenient while control stays in-house. By breaking large jobs into small micro-scripts, the platform stays fast under load and gives clients a live, transparent view of every step.

A built-in AI triage flow closes the loop: when Azure reports an incident, it gathers the logs, analyses the root cause and proposes a fix directly to the engineering team. Combined with a reusable consultant toolkit and a phased adoption strategy, ZeroOps turns repetitive manual operations into measurable savings in time and cloud cost — a scalable, white-label and multi-cloud-ready foundation for the modern MSP.

Software MCP Server for Customer Support Chatbot

Title: MCP Server for Customer Support Chatbot Description:

Mechhive, a fast-growing fintech company specializing in digital prepaid vouchers, is facing a scalability crisis in customer support. Recent rapid growth on their primary B2C platform, Rewarble, caused daily support tickets to surge from 500 to 1,400. These tickets fall into two categories: repetitive routine inquiries such as checking transaction statuses, and complex cases requiring human expertise. Hiring agents to handle the full volume is financially unsustainable each new hire manages roughly 120 tickets per day, making the hiring process itself a bottleneck, since intake cannot scale as quickly as demand requires. The real opportunity lies in redirecting the support team's valuable time away from repetitive queries, which can be resolved programmatically, toward the hard tickets that need human judgment.

To resolve this, the core focus of this project is to design, build, and deploy a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server microservice. Learning from a previous failed attempt, this MCP server will serve as a secure connection bridging the AI model to Mechhive's internal database. By securely exposing specific data retrieval tools to the AI, the server will enable the support bot to facilitate customer self-service, aiming to automatically resolve at least 20% of routine tickets so the support team can focus on complex issues like refunds.
The technical implementation is constrained to Mechhive's existing stack: a Spring Boot Java backend, a React frontend, and an AWS database. The AI model is integrated on the frontend, the MCP server must safely handle data fetching while enforcing rigid security boundaries. Key objectives include masking Personally Identifiable Information (PII), preventing data hallucinations, ensuring user data isolation, and handling traffic from an 11,000 daily user base without degradation.

Final deliverables include the production-ready MCP server backend, a testing framework utilizing mock database, and comprehensive technical documentation including core research and MCP specifications.

Infrastructure Hoe kunnen MKB organisaties omgaan met risico’s rondom AI en data binnen Microsoft 365?

Title: Hoe kunnen MKB organisaties omgaan met risico’s rondom AI en data binnen Microsoft 365? Description:

Steeds meer MKBers willen gebruikmaken van AI tools zoals Microsoft Copilot. Deze tools kunnen medewerkers helpen sneller informatie te vinden en productiever te werken. Tegelijkertijd brengen ze ook risico’s met zich mee, vooral wanneer data verspreid staat over SharePoint, Teams en OneDrive en niet duidelijk is wie toegang heeft tot welke informatie.

Tijdens mijn stage bij 365OPTIMIZERS onderzoek ik hoe MKB-organisaties meer controle kunnen krijgen over hun data binnen Microsoft 365, zodat AI op een veilige en praktische manier gebruikt kan worden. Hierbij kijk ik naar risico’s zoals oversharing, gevoelige bestanden die te breed toegankelijk zijn en het ontbreken van duidelijke afspraken over data. In het onderzoek vergelijk ik oplossingen binnen Microsoft 365 en erbuiten. Op basis hiervan ontwerp en test ik een praktische aanpak met classificatie, protection en beleid tegen het onbedoeld delen van gevoelige informatie.

Software AI Framework | Vision Inspection

Title: AI Framework | Vision Inspection Description:

Modern manufacturing needs reliable, adaptable defect detection, but traditional computer vision pipelines are built client-by-client, making them brittle and expensive to scale. This project addresses that gap by designing a modular, AI-powered visual inspection framework on top of an existing industrial deep learning platform at Affix Engineering. The core of the the system is a three-stage anomaly detection pipeline: surface-level defect detection using PatchCore (an embedding-based model requiring only normal images for training), automatic conversion of anomaly heatmaps into pixel masks and defect classification via a YOLO segmentation model. This architecture solves the "cold start" problem common in factory settings, where labelled defect images are few. The framework is built around a QML/PySide6 desktop application that allows both machine operators and ML engineers to configure, train, and run deep learning models through a purpose-built interface, without writing code. The backend supports Keras, PyTorch, and Ultralytics YOLO as interchangeable inference engines, managed through a Bridge design pattern that decouples model logic from the UI layer entirely. The result is an inspection tool that reduces new-client onboarding from a full development cycle to a configuration step.The project was developed using the ICT dual-track ML methodology, combining a software engineering track with a parallel ML research track across 5 sprints.

Software Magento Architecture Optimization

Title: Magento Architecture Optimization Description:

This graduation project focuses on analysing and improving the architecture of a Magento Core-based platform used by Holland2Stay to support key business processes such as booking, tenant management, and operational workflows.

Over time, the system evolved into a complex modular monolith, where many components became tightly coupled. This makes the system harder to maintain, scale, and extend.

Using a research-driven approach based on the Development-Oriented Triangulation (DOT) framework, the project identifies architectural bottlenecks through dependency analysis, system mapping, and API testing.

Based on these findings, architectural improvements are explored and validated through proof-of-concept implementations. The first proof of concept focuses on decoupling a high-load external integration (VOYS) into an independent service. The second proof of concept explores improvements in the booking flow, one of the system’s core functionalities, to reduce complexity and improve maintainability.

The results show that targeted architectural improvements can significantly improve system structure, scalability, and flexibility without requiring a full system refactor.

This project demonstrates how complex legacy systems can be improved incrementally through well-scoped architectural changes.

Hardware Interfacing Conceptontwikkeling van een autonoom tilsysteem voor voertuigtransport

Title: Conceptontwikkeling van een autonoom tilsysteem voor voertuigtransport Description:

De Flexti Automover richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een compacte robot die auto’s in reconditioneringscentra veilig en autonoom kan optillen en verplaatsen, zodat medewerkers minder hoeven te rijden, slepen of manoeuvreren in krappe ruimtes en over het bedrijfsterrein. In deze reconditioneringscentra worden continue auto's verplaatst tussen verschillende processen zoals: monteurs, wasstraat, fotostudio of de distributie lanes.

Onze ontwikkeling draait om het combineren van een betrouwbaar hefmechanisme met voertuigopmeting (zodat de robot verschillende voertuigtypes correct kan positioneren) en obstakelvermijding.

Daarnaast is de Automover een groene oplossing. Onze robot is volledig elektrisch en voert de verplaatsing uit zonder dat er een auto hoeft te draaien of stationair hoeft te lopen. Daardoor ontstaat er tijdens het interne verplaatsen geen uitstoot van de auto. Dit is niet alleen beter voor het klimaat, maar ook voor de medewerkers die binnen in de werkplaatsen en showrooms aan het werk zijn.

Software An Outlook Add-in for Automated Phishing Triage in a Banking Security Operations Centre

Title: An Outlook Add-in for Automated Phishing Triage in a Banking Security Operations Centre Description:

When an employee reports a suspicious email, a Security Operations Centre (SOC) analyst has to investigate it by hand — reading headers, checking links, and opening a ticket. It's slow, repetitive, and inconsistent from one analyst to the next.
This project is a proof-of-concept Microsoft Outlook Add-in that automates that triage, built during a graduation internship within a bank's Cybersecurity Operations Centre. With a single click inside Outlook, an analyst can extract a reported email's headers, links, and attachments, score it against phishing indicators (SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, sender mismatches, and URL/attachment reputation via VirusTotal), and assign a 1–5 threat level — then automatically open a structured incident ticket.
The design is deliberately bank-friendly: a lightweight Outlook client paired with a Java Spring Boot backend and PostgreSQL database, deployed entirely on-premises to satisfy data-sovereignty and regulatory requirements (GDPR, DORA). A dashboard surfaces repeated attack indicators across submissions, helping the team spot coordinated campaigns rather than isolated emails.
The result demonstrates that consistent, traceable, and far faster phishing triage is achievable without sending sensitive email data to any external cloud service.

Hardware Interfacing Synthetic Data Generation Pipeline

Title: Synthetic Data Generation Pipeline Description:

In industrial automation, robotic systems are increasingly used to handle repetitive and complex tasks, such as picking objects from containers. For these systems to work reliably, machine learning models need to recognise and segment objects from camera images. However, collecting and manually annotating large amounts of real industrial data can be time-consuming and expensive.
This project focuses on developing a synthetic data generation pipeline for industrial bin-picking applications. The system is built in Blender using Python and automatically simulates objects being dropped into a container. It generates realistic RGB images, segmentation masks, and COCO-style JSON annotations that can be used for machine learning.
The pipeline includes different object materials such as metal, plastic, paper, and cloth. It also uses physics simulation, a top-down orthographic camera, realistic lighting, and PBR textures to make the generated images closer to real-world industrial camera data. The produced dataset is validated by training YOLO-based segmentation models, with the main focus on detecting and segmenting visible pickable objects in the container.
The final result is a configurable pipeline that supports machine learning development for future robotic picking systems, especially in situations where real data is limited or difficult to annotate.

Hardware Interfacing Comparing Human-Authored and LLM-Generated Behavior Trees for Robotic Task Execution: A Design Metrics Evaluation

Title: Comparing Human-Authored and LLM-Generated Behavior Trees for Robotic Task Execution: A Design Metrics Evaluation Description:

This study compares human-authored and LLM-generated behavior trees for a mobile manipulator performing a pick-and-place task with a battery charging override. Both trees were developed iteratively and evaluated using the EvalBTs design metrics framework, examining structural properties, architectural patterns, modularity, reactivity, and maintainability. The results show that both approaches produce functionally equivalent trees while differing significantly in design philosophy — the human tree favouring consistency and maintainability, the LLM tree favouring reactivity and edge-case coverage. Neither approach is strictly superior; the preferred choice depends on application priorities.

Software Self-Service NFC Inventory Management System

Title: Self-Service NFC Inventory Management System Description:

Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity manages shared physical assets such as lab equipment and mobile devices across multiple employees. The existing solution relied on two separate SharePoint lists, which lacked real-time tracking and reliable traceability, resulting in missing items, manual errors, and no clear accountability.

This project delivers a centralized self-service inventory system that replaces the current solution. Through a web application, employees can view available items and make reservations. The physical check-out and return process is completed at a dedicated tablet station using NFC scanning, eliminating the need for manual input or a contact person.

All transactions are automatically logged, overdue items are detected and flagged, and borrowers are notified when a return is due. The result is a scalable, production-ready system that significantly improves asset accountability and operational efficiency within the cybersecurity division.

Software Title: Modular Architecture Design for iParticipatie Platform

Title: Title: Modular Architecture Design for iParticipatie Platform Description:

IParticipatie is a citizen participation platform developed by PinkRoccade Local Government, used by more than 50 Dutch municipalities to enable citizens to submit social service applications digitally. The platform processes form submissions through a lifecycle event system, where each event can trigger one or more action types.
The core challenge addressed in this graduation project is that all action types were hardcoded inside a single ActionService.ts file. This meant that adding any new action type required modifying this critical file directly, creating regression risk and making the system difficult to extend with new specialised functionality.
The goal of this project was to design and implement a modular plugin architecture that allows new specialised action types to be added as independently loadable plugins — without modifying the core service. This improves extensibility, reduces regression risk, and enables municipality consultants to configure form event structures more independently.
The solution consists of a Plugin SDK package (@iparticipatie/plugin-sdk) defining the IPlugin interface and PluginContext type, alongside a dynamic plugin loading system built from PluginLoader, PluginRegistry, and PluginValidator components integrated into the existing Node.js/TypeScript backend.
The Proof of Concept deliverable is the SCSPlugin — a specialised plugin that replaces a chain of 19 hardcoded actions with a single plugin call. It retrieves citizen personal data from the Dutch government SCS API and automatically pre-fills 15+ form fields when a citizen opens a form, significantly improving the citizen experience.
The research was conducted using the DOT framework, combining stakeholder interviews, codebase analysis, and a structured literature study comparing three architectural patterns applicable to a Node.js monolith.

Infrastructure Strengthening Security Management and IT Operations

Title: Strengthening Security Management and IT Operations Description:

De Rooi Pannen, a leading vocational education institution, faced significant security risks due to informal, ad-hoc patch management processes. With an low maturity score against the Dutch MBO Security Framework (Normenkader IBP), the organization struggled with undocumented workflows, knowledge silos, and a lack of standardized testing, threatening compliance with the Cyber Resilience Pool and exposing thousands of student records to potential breaches.

This project addresses the critical gap between the current "Repeatable" state and the required "Defined" Maturity Level 3. The research evaluated various solutions, including external Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and commercial RMM tools like NinjaOne and Heimdal. However, due to budget constraints and the need for specific infrastructure compatibility, the final recommendation shifts toward a bespoke, hybrid internal automation strategy.

The core deliverable is a comprehensive Automated Patch Management Framework. This solution integrates Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and RACI matrices to formalize workflows, ensuring audit readiness. Technically, it leverages Jenkins pipelines for orchestration and utilizes Proxmox hypervisor snapshots to create a risk-free testing environment. This approach eliminates the need for costly solutions while ensuring that every patch deployment is reversible and fully documented.

Organisational Processes AI-Assisted Document Generation for "Business Scans"

Title: AI-Assisted Document Generation for "Business Scans" Description:

ACA is an IT services company specialising in business solutions built on the Microsoft platform, helping organisations implement software like Microsoft Business Central — an ERP system used to manage finance, procurement, sales, and logistics.

Before an implementation begins, ACA conducts what is called a Businessscan: a structured pre-sales process in which a consultant holds several sessions with the client to map out their business processes, needs, and pain points. Based on these sessions, a Solution Document is produced. This document describes how Business Central should be configured for that specific client — which modules are used, what customisations are needed, and how the processes will be structured. It serves as the foundation for the rest of the project.

The problem is that this document is currently written entirely by hand by the consultant, after all sessions have taken place. This is time-consuming and the quality and structure vary from person to person, with no standardised approach in place.

ACA is already working internally to make the Businessscan process more uniform. This creates a concrete opportunity: once the process structure is fixed and client sessions are recorded and transcribed, AI can help generate a first version of the Solution Document automatically based on those transcripts. The consultant no longer starts from scratch but instead reviews, supplements, and refines the generated output.

My graduation project focuses on researching and building this AI-assisted approach, within ACA's existing Microsoft ecosystem.

Software Turning Designs into Native Mobile Demos

Title: Turning Designs into Native Mobile Demos Description:

At iO Digital, a digital agency in Eindhoven, the mobile team faces an ongoing challenge: in sales meetings, they struggle to show clients what they can really build. Static slides and screenshots fall short. What's needed is a way to show, not tell.

This graduation project delivers an end-to-end demo platform built across three layers: a Figma plugin that exports screens, a backend that links each export to its project, and a Kotlin Multiplatform application that renders those exports as fully interactive prototypes on iOS and Android, all from a single codebase.

The technical core is a semantic export pipeline. Figma is a design tool, not a code source: a button is just a styled rectangle, a checkbox just a layered shape. The exporter has to figure out what each element is meant to be, and translate it into a real native counterpart. A Figma input field becomes a typeable text field with a real keyboard; a checkbox becomes a toggleable state, not a static image. The result feels like a working app, not a clickable mockup.

For designers, the workflow stays close to how they already work: mark interactive components in Figma, then publish in a single click, no login, no manual handoff. Each export stays linked to its project, so updates flow through automatically. For sales, demos run fully offline during client meetings.

The deeper goal is trust. A client who can hold a phone, navigate a real-feeling app, and experience the team's design quality leaves the meeting with a confidence that slide decks cannot create. By collapsing the gap between design and demo, the platform lets iO's mobile team compete on what it builds, not on how well it can describe it.

User Interaction Dezcartes: A Privacy-First AI Ecosystem for Interactive Knowledge Cards

Title: Dezcartes: A Privacy-First AI Ecosystem for Interactive Knowledge Cards Description:

Modern digital learning often leaves valuable information trapped as abstract data in databases. To bridge the gap between digital data and tangible learning, the Dezcartes project was developed in collaboration with the DPBTSE research lab. Dezcartes is an innovative, privacy-first web application that automates the creation of physical, educational knowledge cards.

Designed with major B2B enterprise clients in mind, the platform strictly avoids public cloud APIs to protect sensitive corporate training data. Instead, it utilizes a robust full-stack architecture (Next.js and FastAPI) orchestrated entirely around local, open-source AI models (such as Qwen 3.5 and Z-Image-Turbo) running on a scalable serverless infrastructure.

To overcome user overwhelm and "blank page syndrome," Dezcartes features a custom 6-step human-AI co-creation flow. The system generates text manifests and acts as an "AI Art Director," ensuring visual consistency across entire card decks. Furthermore, following extensive user testing, the ecosystem incorporates specialized interactive game mechanics. These mechanics solve the "Collector's Paradox," ensuring that the generated cards are not just visually appealing data fragments, but highly engaging, collaborative tools that deliver authentic educational value.

Infrastructure De beveiligingspositie van Calmira's "All-in ICT"-oplossing versterken

Title: De beveiligingspositie van Calmira's "All-in ICT"-oplossing versterken Description:

Calmira als MSP zorgt dat zijn klanten (MKB-bedrijven) hun omgeving correct hebben geïmplementeerd, beveiligd, continu beheerd en gemonitord worden. Calmira ziet de steeds toenemende cyberdreigingen en wil de beveiligingspositie van Calmira’s “All-in ICT”-oplossing versterken om zijn klanten te beveiligen.

Als deel van Calmira’s “All-in ICT”-oplossing biedt Calmira uitgebreide beveiligingsmogelijkheden aan door gebruik van Microsoft Defender, maar er zijn door de jaren sinds Calmira’s implementatie nog meer producten en diensten toegevoegd en bijgewerkt die eindbeveiliging van zijn klanten kunnen versterken. Calmira ziet dit en wil weten welke producten en diensten het best geïmplementeerd of verbeterd kunnen worden, waarom en hoe.

Tijdens dit project zal ik beveiligingsproducten en -diensten evalueren en identificeren die de beveiligingspositie van Calmira’s “All-in ICT”-oplossing kunnen versterken, door uitgebreid onderzoek uit te voeren en een proof of concept op te stellen voor de geselecteerde producten en diensten.

Software AI-Driven Automation for Retainer-Client Work

Title: AI-Driven Automation for Retainer-Client Work Description:

Aivis is an AI-assisted workflow automation system developed to support communication-heavy work environments through intelligent automation. In many service-based and retainer workflows, important information is fragmented across platforms such as Slack, email, meeting notes, and task management systems, increasing manual workload and the risk of overlooked actions.

This graduation project investigates how artificial intelligence can transform unstructured communication into structured workflows by automatically identifying context, extracting actionable tasks, detecting deadlines, and supporting workflow continuity. The system combines communication ingestion, contextual understanding, and intelligent classification to distinguish between informational and actionable messages while preserving project context over time.

Rather than replacing existing work processes, Aivis is designed to support them by integrating with task management environments and assisting with task routing, prioritization, reply suggestions, and follow-up support. The system aims to reduce cognitive workload, improve communication visibility, and help users maintain better oversight across multiple clients and projects.

Through research, system design, implementation, and evaluation, this project demonstrates how AI-assisted workflow automation can support more structured, reliable, and scalable communication management in professional environments.

Software Infrastructure as Code for Pipeline Migration and Automation

Title: Infrastructure as Code for Pipeline Migration and Automation Description:

This project focuses on the modernization, automation, and migration of key software integration pipelines to improve maintainability and scalability within a CI/CD environment. The primary objective is to transition existing pipeline configurations and processes into Bamboo Specs, adopting an infrastructure as code approach that enables better version control, traceability, and reproducibility.

This assignment is developed inside the D&E (Development and Engineering) department at ASML, as part of the IC009 Integration team for the YieldStar Project. YieldStar is ASML’s high-performance, diffraction-based optical metrology system used to measure, analyze, and optimize semiconductor wafer patterns (overlay, focus and critical dimensions) in real-time.

The assignment involves analyzing the current pipeline setup for 2 key pipelines: FQB (Full Qualified Build) and MAP (Make a Patch). The FQB pipeline represents the primary continuous integration pipeline employed by the team to perform comprehensive validation of pull requests prior to their integration into the master branch, referred to as the Qualified Baseline (QBL). Make a Patch pipeline is an automated build process designed to create, validate, test, and analyze software patches for the YieldStar system.

The scope of the projects consists of identifying limitations in legacy scripts and manual processes and redesigning the pipeline structure to support a more modular and standardized architecture. Key components of the work include migrating build and test stages, restructuring dependencies, and ensuring compatibility with existing tools and frameworks. Special attention is given to maintaining the functionality of legacy scripts, while improving their integration into the new pipeline configuration. The pipeline migration is also accompanied by extensive testing and validation to ensure reliability and functional equivalence with the hardcoded version.

An additional focus is placed on improving maintainability through modular components and clearer structure, enabling future scalability, version control, traceability and easier onboarding for integrators.

Ultimately, this project delivers a fully automated and standardized integration pipeline that uses infrastructure as code to increase development efficiency, support long term maintainability, and improve readability and usability. The results contribute to a more robust DevOps environment and lay the foundation for further optimization and extension of CI/CD processes within the organization.

Software Artificial intelligence integreren in een CMS

Title: Artificial intelligence integreren in een CMS Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Betawerk heb ik gewerkt aan een project voor Maastricht UMC+, gericht op het verbeteren van de kwaliteit, toegankelijkheid en consistentie van webcontent binnen hun Drupal CMS.
Uit onderzoek bleek dat redacteuren, ondanks hun inhoudelijke expertise, beperkte ondersteuning hebben bij SEO, metadata en toegankelijkheidsrichtlijnen (WCAG). Dit leidt tot inconsistente content, onvolledige metadata en slechte alt-teksten, wat de vindbaarheid en toegankelijkheid negatief beïnvloedt.
Om dit probleem aan te pakken, heb ik een AI‑ondersteunde oplossing ontworpen en technisch gevalideerd. Het project richtte zich op functionaliteiten zoals automatische metadata-generatie, toegankelijkheidscontrole, SEO-analyse en tekstfeedback op basis van tone-of-voice en leesbaarheid.
Binnen de prototypingfase zijn twee werkende proof-of-concept oplossingen ontwikkeld:

MetaTags AI: genereert automatisch metadata bij het opslaan van pagina’s
Review AI: analyseert content en geeft gestructureerde feedback op kwaliteit, toegankelijkheid en leesbaarheid

De oplossing is ontworpen volgens het human-in-the-loop principe, waarbij AI alleen ondersteuning biedt en de redacteur eindverantwoordelijk blijft. Dit is essentieel binnen een medische context waar betrouwbaarheid en controle centraal staan.
De resultaten tonen aan dat AI effectief kan bijdragen aan een efficiëntere workflow en hogere contentkwaliteit, mits deze goed geïntegreerd is in de bestaande Drupal-architectuur en afgestemd is op de behoeften van redacteuren.

User Interaction Designing a User‑Friendly Template System for Campaign Landing Pages in Delta’s Custom CMS

Title: Designing a User‑Friendly Template System for Campaign Landing Pages in Delta’s Custom CMS Description:

In this graduation project, I design, evaluate and develop a new template system that makes it faster and easier for Delta Electronics EMEA to create campaign landing pages in their custom content management system (CMS). The current workflow is experienced as slow, too code‑heavy for most marketing users, and inflexible when existing templates are used, which makes landing pages difficult to produce and scale across different events and business units.

To address this, I work with marketing and development stakeholders from five real campaigns, including Hannover Messe, Smarter E, Advanced Factories, SPS Parma and MCE 2026, to map the existing process, identify recurring pain points, and translate them into concrete requirements for a future‑proof landing‑page builder. The project follows a Design Thinking approach (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test, implement) to combine user research, concept development and iterative prototyping in a structured way.

Based on the findings, I design and prototype a reusable template system with a component library, drag‑and‑drop layout control and clear handover to the CMS, complemented by an exploratory AI assistant concept for content and layout suggestions. The high‑fidelity prototype is evaluated with key stakeholders through usability tests to measure efficiency, clarity and perceived control compared to the current way of working.

The goal of the project is to deliver a validated design proposal that improves the user experience for marketers and front‑end developers, while supporting Delta’s need for consistent, scalable and maintainable campaign pages in the long term.

User Interaction Design and Development of an Insights-Oriented Campaign Management System for the Novik Platform

Title: Design and Development of an Insights-Oriented Campaign Management System for the Novik Platform Description:

Not on Paper is a digital agency that develops custom digital platforms and tools for organizations. One of these platforms, Novik, is used to manage campaigns and monitor campaign-related processes through data collected from multiple sources and APIs.

Within the platform, users from different departments work with different stages of the campaign process. These stages include demand and campaign performance, claim processing, execution activities such as logistics and payments, and a broader operational overview of active workloads.

Although the platform contains a large amount of valuable operational and campaign data, users currently lack a clear and structured overview tailored to their role and responsibilities. Existing information is mainly presented as separate data points, requiring users to manually interpret trends, monitor workloads, and identify important insights.

This graduation project focuses on improving the Novik platform by designing and developing an insights-oriented campaign management system with multiple role-based views. The solution aims to provide users with relevant insights and operational clarity depending on their responsibilities within the process.

The different views focus on:

- An overall overview of active workloads across the platform
- Demand and campaign insights, including submitted claims per campaign
- Processing insights related to claim handling and operational progress
- Execution insights for logistics and payment workflows

The goal is to improve visibility, usability, and understanding of operational and campaign performance data throughout the entire process.

Software Competitor Analysis Dashboard for Eleven Travel

Title: Competitor Analysis Dashboard for Eleven Travel Description:

This graduation project is being carried out at Moonly, a software development agency in Best, on behalf of its client Eleven Travel. Eleven Travel connects travellers to festivals and events across the Netherlands by providing bus transportation from convenient pickup locations. The company operates in a crowded market and actively tracks its competitors to maintain its position, but currently does so in a way that limits how useful that information can be.

Currently, team members individually review competing platforms and record their findings in unstructured ways, leaving Eleven Travel with scattered records that are difficult to interpret as a whole. The process is time-consuming and inconsistent, and offers limited insight into broader market trends, meaning positioning decisions are based on a vague grasp of the competitive landscape rather than a reliable one.

The goal of this project is to design and develop software that gives Eleven Travel a clearer view of its market position. The solution is a new page within the company's existing back-office system that collects competitor information and presents it through an interactive dashboard. This will replace manual data gathering with a structured overview, freeing the team to focus on interpretation and decision-making.

The project focuses on three key themes: identifying what the team actually needs from such a tool, designing an interface that makes complex information easy to navigate, and exploring where artificial intelligence can add genuine interpretive value, for instance in summarising competitor offerings or surfacing patterns. The result will be a functional prototype that integrates into Eleven Travel's existing back-office system and can be extended as the company's needs evolve.

Software Designing a Replay SDK for Unity XR Applications Using Browser-Based Visualization

Title: Designing a Replay SDK for Unity XR Applications Using Browser-Based Visualization Description:

This project presents a modular replay SDK for Unity XR applications. The system records Unity runtime sessions and reconstructs them in a browser-based Three.js viewer to improve debugging and analysis. Instead of relying only on console logs, telemetry, or video, it preserves spatial context by capturing transforms, animations, UI, spatial audio, controller input, hand tracking, console logs, custom events, and performance metrics. Static scene data is exported through GLB files, while optimized replay data stores runtime changes efficiently.

Software Technical Modernization of the Resource Planning Tool at Vanderlande Industries

Title: Technical Modernization of the Resource Planning Tool at Vanderlande Industries Description:

The VIRES application is an internal Resource Planning Tool used across Vanderlande to support daily planning activities. Built on C#/.NET and React, the system had been running on outdated and unsupported framework versions for several years, introducing security risks, compatibility issues, and increasing maintenance complexity.
This graduation project focuses on the full technical modernization of the application stack, upgrading all backend components to .NET 10 and modernizing the React frontend, without changing any existing functionality.
The backend upgrade involved migrating five interconnected components through a carefully sequenced phased approach, resolving compatibility challenges between Entity Framework Core versions and replacing deprecated hosting frameworks.
The frontend modernization involved migrating the build tool from Webpack to Vite, upgrading React from version 16 to 18, replacing the deprecated office-ui-fabric-react component library with Fluent UI v9, and resolving dependency conflicts across the entire frontend stack.
Beyond the framework upgrades, the project scope also includes the integration of Azure Application Insights for usage monitoring and Azure Key Vault for secure configuration and secrets management, bringing the application in line with modern cloud security standards.
The project is executed within the ProCode team at Vanderlande, following SAFe Agile practices and involving multiple stakeholders across technical, business, and operational domains throughout the process.

Software Sensory Processing & Context Builder for Virtual Humans

Title: Sensory Processing & Context Builder for Virtual Humans Description:

During my graduation internship, I focused on the development of the sensory pipeline for Virtual Humans. The goal of the project was to replace the earlier Kinect-based sensing setup with a modular pipeline that works with standard laptop hardware such as integrated microphone and webcam.

The project addresses one of the core technical challenges within the Virtual Humans architecture: giving the system real-time awareness of whether a user is present, whether they are speaking, and what they are saying, while keeping the architecture flexible for future expansion. To achieve this, I developed and researched a pipeline consisting of separate services for audio and video processing, speech-to-text, and context building.

A large part of the work focused on improving the audio and speech-to-text flow. This included researching and implementing voice activity detection, utterance segmentation, and a speech-to-text service using faster-whisper. In addition, I explored architectural choices such as service separation, Kafka-based communication, Kubernetes deployment, and the role of the context builder as the next step after transcription.

Software SAP RMCA Monitoring, Alarming & Automation

Title: SAP RMCA Monitoring, Alarming & Automation Description:

My graduation project is at Swisscom a telecommunications company in Switzerland. My team is in the Billing Unit where I work on improving the Revenue Managemant and Contract Accounting (RMCA) system.
The project is about streamlining the monitoring process to lower the load on the DevOps engineers. The team needs a new and modern monitoring and alerting solution that can help them during operations. The monitoring solution also aims to help other parts of the business make future decisions and to keep track of KPIs. There is no way to create graphs in SAP so the dashboards helps visualize trends and anomalies in the data. Another goal is to enhance the current alerting of the automated jobs to only alert if there is a problem. It is also useful for the DevOps team to monitor the state of the jobs over time. This way they can see trends over time. For example there was a problem in the past about one job failing because of an external system. It took some time for the team to realize the same job fails every week. Seeing the past job runs metrics would help with noticing trends like this. The solution will handle real customer data and it will be deployed at a production level. So it is important to find a solution that integrates well with the older SAP system and can handle a lot of data. The team will also migrate in the future to the newest version of SAP so it is also important to create a solution that is transferable and allow for changes in the source system.

Software One App, Multiple Platforms: Evaluating Compose Multiplatform for Streaming

Title: One App, Multiple Platforms: Evaluating Compose Multiplatform for Streaming Description:

Streaming services need to run on many devices - from smartphones to TVs. Traditionally, each platform requires its own app, built with different technologies, making development slower, more expensive, and harder to keep consistent.
This graduation project at Stamsoft investigates whether Compose Multiplatform can change that by enabling a single codebase for multiple platforms, while still delivering a native user experience.
The project addresses this question in two ways. First, it provides a comparative study of Compose Multiplatform against other cross-platform solutions, evaluating performance, tooling, and platform support. Second, it delivers a working streaming application that runs on iOS, Android, and Android TV, using shared logic and UI where possible, combined with native playback components.
To validate the approach, the application is tested on real devices, measuring startup time, responsiveness, memory usage, and playback stability. The results show that all performance targets defined with Stamsoft are achieved across platforms.
The outcome is both a functional product and a benchmark-driven evaluation, demonstrating when and how Compose Multiplatform can be used as a practical solution for building cross-platform streaming applications.

Software Automated Military Training Development Using Local AI Agents

Title: Automated Military Training Development Using Local AI Agents Description:

The Dutch Ministry of Defence develops military training programmes through a highly structured and document intensive process. Training developers manually analyse needs assessments and training proposals, extract learning objectives, and compose detailed training documents, a process that is time consuming, repetitive, and requires specialist knowledge.

This project automates that workflow with a system that uses a locally deployed AI pipeline. Training developers can upload needs assessments and training proposals directly into the tool, which then reads and analyses the document, automatically recognises and extracts individual learning tasks, and uses a chain of LLM agents to generate structured training documents and complete training plans. All output is aligned with the Ministry of Defence's own educational guidelines and instructional design methodology, ensuring that the generated plans meet organisational standards.

A fundamental requirement throughout the project was data safety. Because training content at the Ministry of Defence can be operationally sensitive, the entire pipeline runs on-premise using locally hosted language models. No data leaves the organisation, and no external cloud services or public AI models are involved at any point in the process.

The end result is a working tool that allows training developers to move from a document to a complete draft training plan in a fraction of the time previously required. Specialists remain fully in control of the process, but are relieved of the most manual and repetitive tasks, freeing them to focus their expertise where it matters most and significantly increasing the time available for other tasks.

User Interaction De Ontdekfabriek: "Technisch Atelier voor de TOEkomst" Impact Makers Around The World

Title: De Ontdekfabriek: "Technisch Atelier voor de TOEkomst" Impact Makers Around The World Description:

Most 14-year-olds have don't consider a career in transport. This project tries to change that in 120 seconds.

Roads of Nairobi is an iPad game I designed and built for De Ontdekfabriek in Eindhoven, as part of the TATOE project. Students tilt the tablet to steer a scooter through the streets of Kenya, weaving through traffic and getting a feel for what it is like to be behind the wheel.

The game is part of the Ugani flight case, a workshop kit that introduces secondary school students to impact makers in Kenya. It sits alongside other short activities that students rotate through during the session.

De Ontdekfabriek needed a working, deployable game that fits into that rotation. Something a student can pick up, understand immediately, and hand to the next person two minutes later. That is what I set out to build.

Software Agentic Workflow to Reduce Development Time

Title: Agentic Workflow to Reduce Development Time Description:

This graduation assignment focuses on researching how the .NET team can use an AI-driven workflow to shorten the turnaround time of the
frontend development process.

In the current process, product managers use the AI platform Lovable to visualise concepts of new features as interactive prototypes. These prototypes serve as a valuable reference for design and functionality. However, the generated Lovable code does not meet the company's coding standards and cannot be used directly for feature
implementation. Developers therefore implement new features manually in the existing codebase. This assignment investigates how AI can bridge this gap between the Lovable prototype and the existing codebase, while maintaining high code quality and developer control.

This solution allows developers to spend more time on complex features, it promotes more consistent code quality across the team, and it provides faster delivery of
features.

Hardware Interfacing Development of localization based on LiDAR-LOC using ROS2

Title: Development of localization based on LiDAR-LOC using ROS2 Description:

My graduation internship focuses on the development and documentation of a LiDAR-based localization and navigation system for automated guided vehicles. The project is carried out in collaboration with industry stakeholders, including Blackbox Engineering and KUMATECH, who provided the assignment context, practical requirements, and continuous feedback throughout the process.

The project resulted in a physical proof of concept simulating an automated guided pallet transporter. The system is capable of mapping an environment and determining its own position within that map using a coordinate system. Based on this information, a target point can be defined, after which the system calculates and outputs the required angle and distance to navigate toward the specified location.

User Interaction AI-gestuurde rapportage-wizard: Consistente klantrapportages met realtime datavalidatie

Title: AI-gestuurde rapportage-wizard: Consistente klantrapportages met realtime datavalidatie Description:

Bij iO Digital, een groot digital agency, stellen project managers klantrapportages op met informatie die verspreid staat over Jira, Confluence, SharePoint en Bridge. Het samenstellen van een actueel projectoverzicht voor klantrapportages kost daardoor veel tijd en vergroot de kans op inconsistenties tussen bronnen. Onderzoek met project managers liet zien dat het schrijven van de rapportage zelf weinig tijd kost. De echte pijn zit ergens anders: er is geen uniforme rapportagestructuur binnen het bureau, en het valideren van worklog-data uit Bridge is tijdrovend en foutgevoelig. Daardoor verschillen rapportages in kwaliteit en consistentie per project manager en per klant.

Voor mijn afstudeerproject heb ik een MVP ontworpen en gebouwd die dit probleem aanpakt: een AI-gestuurde wizard, gebouwd bovenop Bonzai (de interne AI-assistent van iO Digital), die project managers begeleidt bij het opstellen van een klantrapportage. De wizard maakt gestructureerde keuzes voor budgettype en rapportagestructuur, genereert een concept op basis van live data uit de gekoppelde systemen, en signaleert ontbrekende of inconsistente data op het moment dat deze wordt gedetecteerd. Project managers kunnen voorgestelde secties accepteren of afwijzen voordat de rapportage wordt geëxporteerd naar PDF, PowerPoint, Excel of Word.

De koppelingen lopen via Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers voor Jira, Confluence en SharePoint. Voor Bridge, dat geen publieke API biedt, wordt worklog-data op de achtergrond opgehaald via Chrome DevTools MCP met behulp van de actieve browsersessie van de project manager. Het resultaat is een werkende proof of concept die laat zien hoe een AI-gestuurde wizard project managers kan ondersteunen bij het produceren van consistente, verifieerbare klantrapportages.

Infrastructure Workforce Password Management binnen de IT-infrastructuur

Title: Workforce Password Management binnen de IT-infrastructuur Description:

Organisaties maken steeds vaker gebruik van centrale identity-platformen zoals Microsoft Entra ID, terwijl workforce password management in de praktijk vaak versnipperd, lastig beheersbaar en onvoldoende beveiligd is. De gebruikte oplossingen binnen Topigs Norsvin bieden momenteel onvoldoende ondersteuning voor centrale governance, auditing, rolgebaseerde toegangscontrole en veilig delen van credentials.

Dit afstudeerproject richt zich op het ontwerpen van een passende workforce password management architectuur die aansluit op de bestaande identity-infrastructuur van de organisatie. Het onderzoek combineert architectuuranalyse, security-eisen, governanceprincipes en praktische validatie door middel van een Proof of Concept (PoC).

Binnen de PoC worden meerdere password management oplossingen onderzocht en vergeleken waarbij gekeken wordt naar aspecten zoals integratie met Microsoft Entra ID, Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), separation of duties, logging & auditing, usability en veilig delen van credentials.

Naast de technische validatie worden gebruikerstesten uitgevoerd om de praktische toepasbaarheid, gebruikerservaring en adoptie binnen een enterprise-omgeving te beoordelen.

Het resultaat van het project is een onderbouwde architectuuraanbeveling voor een workforce password management oplossing die aansluit op de security-, governance- en usability-eisen van de organisatie.

User Interaction From Tickets to Trust: Designing a Homebuyer Interface for Ed Controls

Title: From Tickets to Trust: Designing a Homebuyer Interface for Ed Controls Description:

In residential construction and renovation projects, homebuyers and tenants often feel uncertain because updates about inspections, open points, and next steps are spread across different channels such as PDFs, emails, portals, and informal messages. At the same time, internal construction platforms contain too much technical detail to share directly with non-technical users.

During my graduation project at Dutchview, I worked on Ed Controls, a platform used by construction teams to manage quality through tickets (location-based issues with photos, statuses, and follow-up) and audits (inspection checklists). The aim of my project is to design a role-based buyer/tenant experience that improves communication without exposing internal construction details.

My design decisions are grounded in research, including interviews with homebuyers and Ed Controls specialists who work with customers, supported by desk research, a benchmark study of homeowner portals, and system/role analysis of Ed Controls.

The solution focuses on the phases where buyers are most involved and where Ed Controls adds the most value: pre-delivery inspection, delivery/handover, and aftercare. The design introduces a guided homebuyer homepage that explains the current phase, highlights what changed, shows open points in plain language, and provides clear next steps. Inspection outcomes are translated into a simple summary, while buyers can follow relevant tickets with status updates and proof of resolution. Controlled actions such as review and request flows give buyers a voice while keeping the construction team in control.

The result is a realistic communication layer that can work inside Ed Controls or be synced to an external client portal, improving clarity and reducing repeated questions and coordination work for project teams.

Software Procurement Agent

Title: Procurement Agent Description:

My graduation project at ISPnext explores how Large Language Models can support procurement work inside a Business Spend Management platform. Instead of navigating several screens to find products and prepare a purchase requisition, an employee can describe what they need in natural language, for example: "I need a laptop suitable for software development under €1000."

The project focuses on a sandboxed proof of concept, not a production release. I researched orchestration frameworks, built a demo environment, and designed a multi-agent architecture that can search a catalog, reason about requirements, draft a shopping cart, and keep the final decision with the user.
