General information

October 30th, 2018 | By: Brechtsje

In August 2013, I graduated in the Master's program of Human Machine Communication at the department of Artificial Intelligence from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. After finishing my BSc in Psychology, I was looking for a more technical approach to human behavior and a better understanding of cognitive modelling and its practical application. The Master HMC also gave me the opportunity to acquire experience in interaction design, usability engineering and software development in general.

After fulfilling my Master's thesis in Marseille, France, I moved back to Groningen, where I started working at the University Medical Center Groningen in a large multi-national study to improve the communication of benefits and risks of medicines to patients and healthcare professionals. Then I did an internship in the Customer Journey Management team at DUO (Dutch Governmental Education Executive Agency), after which I accepted a job offer as functional designer at DUO. Here I translated product and feature requirements into detailed functional specifications to be used by the software developers in the Scrum team.

I learned a lot and I enjoyed the job very much. It was with pain in my heart that I decided to leave The Netherlands, to join my husband who got offered a job in Copenhagen. I'm open to any vacancy in IT development, human-technology interaction, or otherwise related to my background for an interesting and varied job in the Copenhagen area. Feel free to contact me!
