Welcome

Welcome to the website of Judith van Stegeren. I am a Dutch computer scientist interested in natural language processing, data science and video games.

Datakami is the name of my consultancy business. I specialize in data engineering (processing, gathering, cleaning, analysis) for textual data in English and Dutch. My graphic design company Meteoriet Design sells nerdy t-shirts at Spreadshirt and RedBubble.

Currently I work as a machine learning engineer at Floryn, a Dutch fintech company that finances small and medium enterprises. Before that, I worked at the University of Twente, the Dutch National Cyber Security Centre, and Radboud University.
