What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I'm Freek Hexspoor, a passionate data scientist and developer currently working as a consultant at Ilionx. My journey in technology began with a strong academic foundation, having earned my MSc in Data Science from Tilburg University, where I graduated Cum Laude. My professional experience includes developing innovative solutions for the Dutch Tax Office and GVB, where I utilized my skills in Python, SQL, and cloud technologies to create impactful applications.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to enhancing data management and analytics processes. At the Dutch Tax Office, I played a pivotal role in developing a uniform data model and a Python application that streamlined database updates. My work at GVB involved creating a containerized application for Identity & Access Management on Microsoft Azure, showcasing my ability to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments. I take pride in my contributions to various projects, always aiming for excellence and efficiency.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have a strong entrepreneurial spirit, having developed a multilingual WordPress content platform about Blockchain and provided consultancy services to small and medium enterprises. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth, as evidenced by my numerous certifications in cloud technologies and agile methodologies.
