What a month it has been. While we usually search for the brightest talents for our partner clubs, we need the best at SciSports as well. I am delighted to present our new signings at SciSports in our never ending quest to become (or remain) the best sports analytics company in the world. In the past month Marijn Koetzier, Mark Vlutters and Dennis Roerdink joined BallJames, while Lotte Bransen and Ruben Kooijman joined SciSports Intelligence.
BallJames is the first company in the world to generate 3D data in the Premier League, thanks to our partner club in London. We always strive to generate the most accurate sports data and to speed up our process of real-time analytics we managed to sign three great talents. Marijn Koetzier is a passionate football fan and computer vision expert with a MSc in Game & Media Development and lots of experience in building cutting edge systems. Mark Vlutters finished his MSc in Biomedical Engineering Cum Laude and developed a powered lower extremity exoskeleton that assists humans in maintaining balance during his PhD at the University of Twente. Dennis Roerdink founded his own gaming company Dauntless Games during his study Game Technology & Producing and has proven that he possesses extraordinary development skills.
