I am Kevin, an MSc Computer Science graduate from TU Delft with a strong foundation in full-stack development and a specialization in Data. With a growth-oriented mindset and a passion for all things big data science related, I am constantly driven to seek out new knowledge and remain at the forefront of technological advancements. Currently doing self-study on Azure Cloud.
Master Thesis: Efficient Fact-checking through Supporting Fact Extraction from Large Data Collections (code|report)
Make use of various methods for identifying and indexing supporting facts and enhancing the retrieval phase of the fact-checking pipeline.
In the works of being published under the title "FlashCheck: Exploration of Efficient Evidence Retrieval for Fast Fact-Checking" in the ECIR 2025 proceedings by Springer Nature
Bachelor Thesis: Creating a TPM based smart contract for the Medical Supply Chain in Hyperledger Fabric (code|report)
Incorporating cryptographic functionalities of TPM 2.0 to provide security in the use of smart contracts used in a blockchain applications (open-source Hyperledger Fabric was used).
Noteworthy projects:
• Evaluating Java-Python code translation by fine-tuning two Language models (CodeBERT and PLBART) on a scraped and generated dataset (Rosetta Code, Sample Programs, CodingBat, A problem solved in 22 programming languages and LeetCode) and evaluate these fine-tuned models on two metrics, namely Bleu-4 and xMatch. The evaluation and fine-tuning of the models has been adapted from CodeXGLUE and the preprocessing of the data is done by AVATAR. code
• Developing Scalable Services and Managing their Transactions with CockroachDB and testing these using Kubernetes code
• Modular Intrusion Prevention System, similar to fail2ban, which monitors and stores (SQLAlchemy) failed authentication logs from applications such as Joomla and Wordpress and temporarily blocks traffic from IP-addresses that exceed a configurable number of attempts. code
• Mutual Inconsistency Detection In Distributed Systems using akka to ensure copies of documents between ‘actors’ remain concistent. code
• Extracting and storing webpage cookies as to verify whether these accommodate the General Data Protection Regulation. code
• A mock user interface of Instagram UI using Python-based web framework Django as to propose an alternative recommendation system architecture that may benefit the users among other stakeholders. code
• Java Application tracking green activites of a user with features like having a ranking system between users. code
• Develop a full raytracer that generates static images from a virtual scene containing lights, objects and a camera. code
