Vincent Warmerdam

Prior to GoDataDriven Vincent obtained a Msc in Econometrics, Operations Research and AI. He feels the world will be a better place if people use data effectively which is why he gives free lectures/sessions to people who want to get started with open source data analysis in Amsterdam. He is fluent in python, R and javascript and even dabbles with scala, julia and Clang from time to time.

With his roots in Eindhoven, Amsterdam, New York and Cupertino he is well at home with many flavours of technology companies. Currently he does a lot of research on learning algorithms and helps companies becoming truly data driven. The intersection of the algorithm and the use-case is of the most interest to him.

Nowadays, Vincent is a data scientist at GoDataDriven, preferred training partner for Rstudio and a frequent speaker at Python conferences. He is especially well-known for his talks on how to hack around with video game data and algorithms that generate pokemon names.
