Jo Kroese

I am a data scientist, artist, sometime startup founder and musician.

I am based in Amsterdam.

The trinity.

My work has started to fall into three rough categories:

• The Open Consultancy
  The company I founded to use data science for social good.
• Radical Data Project
  Research organisation that explores data science in art and activism.
• Jobi
  Where I make dance music with code.

My five latest projects.

• tiddlyroam
  An open source project that let's you see the connections between ideas.
• tidymrp
  An R package that runs MRP analyses, the only technique that predicted both Trump and Brexit.
• Modular Dancing
  A system for allowing the human body to become a universal computer.
• Phylogenesis of Dance
  A computer vision and AI-based approach to classifying all dance styles.
• Active Lives
  Researching the social determinants of physical inactivity for GM Moving and Sports England.

Feeling curious? Here are a few more bits.

I've heard you speak and you don't sound so Dutch. What's that about?

I grew up in the North of England. I'm half Dutch but a lot more English.

I want to tell my mum about you. What pronouns do you use?

In English and Dutch, I use they/them. Tell her I said hi.

I've seen you called different things in different places. How should I write your name?

My passport says Joe, these days I use Jo for all professional work and my friends call me Jo or Jobi.

Let's chat.

Got something you'd like to share? A potential collaboration? A question about flowers?
