My name is **Jordi Smit**. I'm deeply passionate about software engineering, data science, and automation. -Nothing makes me happier than creating software that helps humans by automating a tedious and manual-intensive part of their job. -Therefore, I love talking about data science since this field has opened the door to many new kinds of automations. -However, too often, data science solutions stay stuck at the proof of concept level. -To combat this issue, you also need software engineering knowledge. -That is why I love the intersection between software engineering, data science, and automation. +Nothing makes me happier than developing software that automates tedious, labor-intensive tasks. +People's reactions when they learn they no longer have to do that one annoying and repetitive thing is priceless. +With the recent improvements in Machine Learning and AI, much more has become possible. +I'm excited to see which doors this will open next for us. -Currently, I work as a Machine Learning Engineer at [GoDataDriven](https://godatadriven.com/) in Amsterdam. -Here I help companies to transform their ML-based models into production-ready applications. +Currently, I work as a Machine Learning Engineer at [Xebia Data](https://xebia.com/digital-transformation/data-and-ai/) (formerly known as GoDataDriven) in Amsterdam. +At Xebia Data, I assist companies in turning their ML models into production-ready applications. I love this job because it allows me to explore the intersection between software engineering and data science daily. -Furthermore, for me, nothing is more satisfying than creating new things with the latest technologies. +Furthermore, nothing is more satisfying for me than creating new things with the latest technologies. I also believe that the best way to test if you understand these technologies is to teach them. -Therefore, this website aims to share my experience with these technologies in the hope it might help someone in the future. -If this website has helped you anyway, feel free to contact me on any of my socials! +Therefore, this website aims to share my experience with these technologies, hoping it might help someone in the future. +If this website has helped you, feel free to reach out through any of my social media platforms!
