Jurjen den Besten – Data Science Coach

Jurjen den Besten - Data Scientist

My name is Jurjen den Besten. From my background in mechanical engineering and assetmanagement I entered the domain of data analytics. I’ve seen and experienced how data analytics can help to detect anomalies and failures in an infrastructural context, and in some cases help to prevent those. Since 2013 I have developed and specialized myself more and more in data science. In 2018 I started as a freelance data scientist in my own company Datakracht (translated Dataforce). My goal is to help companies make their decisions data driven.

Eva van Brummelen – Data Science Coach

Eva van Brummelen - Data Science Coach

As a Business Analytics student in the master phase, I like to combine mathematics and programming to solve complex business challenges. The last three years I’ve worked as a teaching assistant at the Vrije Universiteit. I enjoy this very much, because the work is diverse and allows me to transfer knowledge to first- and second year students.

Judith Klepper – Data Science Coach

Judith Klepper Data Science Coach

Hi, my name is Judith, I’m in the end-phase of my Master Artificial Intelligence. I like to analyse big data sets to discover patterns and make predictions. I am very happy to help other to gain knowledge in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. I know myself how challenging it can be to start working with data, since I have a background in a different discipline, being Psychology. I also know how much fun working with data can be once you get the hang of it and I would like to help others to see this too!

Poké Man – Data Science Coach

Poke Man Data Science Coach

Hi, my name is Poké and after a career in the banking industry I pursued my interest in Data Science. I’m passionate about transforming complex data to a diverse audience through storytelling and helping people to understand what data is all about and what you can do with it. I believe that making data accessible for everyone and sharing knowledge can contribute in gaining insights and  better decision making. Being a coach gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge on varies subjects but also learn from others 🙂

Tristan Slobben – Data Science Coach

Tristan Slobben Data Scientist Trainer

I’m Tristan Slobben and next year I will start my Master Business Analytics (BA) following my Bachelor BA. I like to optimize business processes and I enjoy analyzing big data by applying mathematics, informatics and data science tools. During the past two years I also have been working as a teaching assistant at the Vrije Universiteit, which allowed me to give students insights into the world of data analytics. Furthermore, I am tutoring secondary school students in math and it is very stimulating to see their improvements.

Birthe Stam – Data Science Coach

Birthe Stam - Data Science Coach

Hi, my name is Birthe and I’m currently in the master phase at the Delft University of Technology. My background in physics has learned me to be analytic and focussed on problem-solving. I really enjoyed working as a school teacher last year, which has taught me to transfer knowledge in an interesting way. I hope to be able to stimulate and help participants during the courses!

Meagan Tjon Sjoe Sjoe – Data Science Coach

Meagan Tjon Sjoe Sjoe Coach

Hi, my name is Meagan and I am a Business Analytics and an Operations Research student in my master phase. The possibilities that data analytics offers are endless. I think it is amazing to see how analyzing data can solve challenging problems. I enjoy helping people and companies to explore these opportunities, to make better decisions.

Alexander van Spaendonck – Data Science Coach

Alexander van Spaendonck Coach

Hi, my name is Alexander and I am a masterstudent at the University of Amsterdam. I studied both physics and mathematics in Groningen and now I am focussing on theoretical physics here in Amsterdam. My background in both these fields learns me how to strip down complex problems to its core essentials and solving them using all the mathematical tools that are available. In the past I already taught courses as a TA and here at Datachangers too I hope to help a lot of people solving interesting problems.
