Hi! My name is Thijs, I am a Dutch 19 year old developer. I was born in the Netherlands, but spent most of my life living abroad in the United States and Germany. Currently studying CS at Utrecht University. Most interested in the fields of data science and machine learning!
Thijs has been awarded a WWDC scholarship two times. Here are the submissions that got him there.
In 2020, applicants were tasked with building an interactive playground to showcase their creativity and technical abilities. Here’s how Thijs describes his winning submission.
I built a playground that teaches you some basics of disease transmission. I modeled disease spread using a stochastic version of the SIR model. Users could change some variables and see how for instance social distancing makes a big difference!
