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:
๐ I am a freelance data professional, typically acting the role of data scientist.
โก My main learning focus is to expand my skill set in data storytelling, football analytics, MLOps, and NLP.
โ๏ธ I sometimes write about the above and more on Medium and my blog.
๐ Lives in Brussels, but likes the occasional travel.
๐ธ 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?
โฝ Enjoys playing and/or watching sports, especially (indoor) football, running, tennis, cycling, and martial arts.
๐ In 2020, I obtained a joint PhD in Finance & Business Economics from the Universitรฉ de Neuchรขtel and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
๐ 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
