Gomer Otterspeer is currently employed as a Software Engineer at the Signlab team at the University of Amsterdam. He is one of the Deaf team members of the SignLab with primary role in collaboration with researchers to co-create technology, raise awareness about Deaf culture, and promote the use of Sign Language through programming and advisory roles in related projects.

Since 2024, Gomer work is focused on specialized areas including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Motion Capture, and Dataset Management. Over the past year, the SignLab team he is part of has collected an extensive dataset consisting of more than 24,000 recordings, each captured from five distinct perspectives. Furthermore, the lab works on motion capturing with which they have collected more than 5,000 recordings. 

Gomer's current objective is to curate this data into a comprehensive dataset of the Dutch Sign Language (NGT) for publication purposes, and subsequently utilize it to train AI models aimed at automating annotation.
