About Me

Jeroen Kortus

Hi, I’m Jeroen — a data scientist from ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. I work at Mentech, where we develop AI-driven products for healthcare. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics and a master’s degree in Data Science.

Outside of work, I enjoy experimenting with technology — from programming and 3D printing to tinkering with Arduinos. I like bringing quirky project ideas to life, whether they turn into websites (like this one), small games, or physical creations. This site is where I share some of those projects.

My biggest personal project at the moment? Training to complete an Ironman-distance triathlon.
