Is it me you're looking for? Probably not, but while you are here let me tell you a bit about myself.
Oh and in case you'd like to reach out to me, one of these platforms is best:
📊 I am a freelance data professional, typically acting the role of data scientist.
⚡ My main learning focus is to expand my skill set in data storytelling, football analytics, MLOps, and NLP.
✍️ I sometimes write about the above and more on Medium and my blog.
🏠 Lives in Brussels, but likes the occasional travel.
🎸 Spotify's 2021 to 2023 Wrapped lists disclosed Interpol, New Order, The Cure, The National, Nicolas Jaar, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and John Frusciante as the music I seem to be most into. Will 2024 bring something different?
⚽ Enjoys playing and/or watching sports, especially (indoor) football, running, tennis, cycling, and martial arts.
🎓 In 2020, I obtained a joint PhD in Finance & Business Economics from the Université de Neuchâtel and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
📝 My research was about sentiment analysis of textual data and the usefulness of it in time series modeling. These are the published papers I have worked on:
-
Econometrics meets sentiment: An overview of methodology and applications
-
The R package sentometrics to compute, aggregate and predict with textual sentiment
-
Semi-supervised text mining for monitoring the news about the ESG performance of companies
-
The Economic Policy Uncertainty index for Flanders, Wallonia and Belgium
