RESEARCH. INDEPENDENT WRITING. OPEN QUESTIONS.
Seeds.
Systems.
Signals.
I work across seed systems, digital innovation and data governance. My writing follows the questions that connect evidence, culture and everyday life.

Research at the intersection
of seeds and systems.
Seed Systems Development
Seed system resilience assessments, community seed banks, seed quality assurance and crop diversification, working with partners across Africa and Asia.
See Projects →
AI & Digital Innovation
Locally hosted RAG advisory prototypes, seed demand forecasting and seed tracking, alongside research data governance informed by GDPR, the EU AI Act and the Data Governance Act.
See Digital Work →
Research & Advisory
Multi-country action research, practical knowledge products and practitioner training. My work connects field evidence with decisions by ministries, NGOs, CGIAR partners and seed-sector actors.

A little wonder.
A closer look.
Across Africa, Asia
and the Netherlands.
Research and advisory experience across these countries, bringing seed systems, agricultural diversity and practical information tools into conversation. Each project has its own context and stage of development.
From seed science
to systems that work.
My path runs through IARI, commercial seed enhancement and quality assurance, and research with Bioversity International in India.
Myanmar was an important chapter. In 2018–2019, I was based in Pathein with Welthungerhilfe, managing rice seed sector development in the Ayeyarwady Delta. Seed laboratories, quality systems, digital logistics and training connected the science with everyday sector decisions.
At WUR since 2019, I work on agrifood information systems, data stewardship, locally hosted AI advisory and resilient seed systems.
