My name is Kevin Tuinte and I am a Mechanical Engineer with a keen interest in transdisciplinairy and multicultural collaboration, systems engineering and the development of soft and hard skills. I am always learning and actively try to motivate others to do the same! In June 2024 I graduated cum laude with honours from my bachelor degree mechanical engineering at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences
During my bachelor's degree I did an honours program focused on the interaction between technology and society. In September 2025 I started a maste's degree in Philosophy of Science, Technology and Society (PSTS) at the University of Twente. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks, drinking tea, and reading books to escape from the busy world we live in.
