data

Hello, I am Thijs Moens. I am naturally curious and observant and I thrive on solving complex challenges. Oh, and never stop seeking out on learning opportunities.
My goal is to create insights and tools that can make the world a better place.

The road so far

My story

I always loved stories and research. I’m inquisitive by nature and I can have an interest in almost anything. This is why I studied Journalism and pictured a future of traveling the world and writing about it. I even had a short career in journalism. But it kind of felt meh. I yearned to learn more, yearned to learn something different.

That’s where the computer comes in. I still remember my father coming home with a computer

. A big, bulky, noisy thing that worked with very large floppies and MS-DOS as the operating system. The endless times I typed C:\>. The spark I was missing ignited the instant I clicked play on my first Macromedia Flash tutorial video.

Since then I have spent hours making things on the web, and so it was only natural that I landed various jobs in web development. I loved it.

Fast forward to today, I realized that being a developer and creating insights with data are where all my passions come together. The combination for my love for research, storytelling, programming, and math. It incorporates creativity and problem-solving and I'm allowed to dive into unknown territories.

I love a bunch of data with no idea what to make of it. It's oddly satisfying to try to come up with something nobody thought of before.

What I love

Passions

Besides Math, Data Science, Programming and Computer Science I really love...

Birds, Baseball, Mountainbiken, Drumming, Canoing, and Detective stories!

Mission

We live in a world full of stories. Huge amounts are added every minute of every day. Good crafted stories can sometimes turn into insights. Into knowledge. Into understanding the world we live in. And how we can make it slightly better for future generations.

This is why I am a Content Creator.
