About Jan

Hi 👋

My name is Jan Meppe and welcome to my blog!

I care deeply about education. It’s my personal mission to change the way that people learn.

Right now I’m a senior machine learning engineer at Snappet. Here, I work on the machine learning infrastructure (inference) team, building tools and platforms that power personalized education.

Before that, I worked as a data science consultant at Cognizant.

Before that, I studied econometrics with a focus on applying machine learning to econometrics.

• I hold an MPhil in Econometrics from the Tinbergen Institute,
• I hold a BSc and MSc degrees in Financial Econometrics from the University of Amsterdam.

I enjoy writing about four main topics:

• System design: How do we build robust, scalable, and maintainable (machine learning) systems?
• Software: How do we build great software?
• Learning: How do we learn and get better at learning?
• Product: How do we craft products that people love?
