I am Aart Goossens, originally from the Netherlands but now residing in Bygstad, Norway, with my family since 2023. I am a sports-scientist-turned-data-engineer. Sport plays a crucial role in my life, and I enjoy cycling, running, rowing, hiking, and cross-country skiing.

Working with me

I am a freelance consultant working on the intersection of data engineering and sports science. As a sports scientist, my main fields of expertise are athlete profiling and training load monitoring in endurance sports. As a data engineer, my main expertises are data storage at scale, platform integrations and data standardization.

My services include:

• Sports data engineering services: Anything from building applications from the ground up to domain specific support for existing development teams.
• Sports data science services: I provide independent data science solutions from start to finish but can also assist existing data science teams.
• Fractional CTO services: I offer strategic technology leadership and innovative solutions to early-stage startups in the sports domain to help them reach product-market fit.

Previous clients include:

• Entalpi: A Norwegian-based startup founded by Olav Aleksander Bu.
• Humango: A US-based startup developing AI training technology.
• INEOS Grenadiers: One of the best professional cycling teams, based in the UK.
• Sport Data Valley: A Dutch government funded sports data analysis platform. As a tech lead I was part of the core development team.

My daily tech stack is centered around Python and Google Cloud Platform but I am familiar with a wider range of languages and platforms.
