Welcome

Welcome to the website of Judith van Stegeren. I am a Dutch computer scientist with a PhD in natural language generation for video games. I live in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Datakami is the name of my consulting business. I specialize in NLP and data science for two domains: investing and video games.

I have a ton of interests and occassionally write long-form content about this, which you can read on my blog. I also give talks at conferences and other gatherings, and have published multiple peer-reviewed scientific papers. You can find more about my talks and scientific activities on the publications page.
