Kevin Hesseling
As data analyst, I help Studio Automated improve their AI models and optimise the overall viewer experience. By sharing my knowledge and experiences of various sports, I try to contribute to the development of our AI software. I am actively involved in sports every day and am very excited about the fact that I have been able to combine my big hobby with work. The position of data analyst at Studio Automated offers me the opportunity to do what I enjoy doing every day. After all, that is the most important thing in life.
Angelique Schouten
I love creating new products and features or to improve them. Especially when it requires analytical problem solving and precision. The biggest treat of Studio Automated I find the team’s inspiring enthusiasm, skills and inventiveness. This also matches my ambition to reach the highest level of functionality and usability. My free time I like to spend bouldering or climbing. Or if possible, in the mountains, enjoying the views and making long and adventurous hikes.
Rouke Pouw
I am driven to finding the answers to the right questions. I like to build good things. For a part time stuntman, part time mathematician, Studio Automated brings an unique oppurtunity to unite my passions for film, sports and abstract problem solving.
Sybren Römer
I get energy from finding the limits and optimal use of the newest technology. I likes to challenge the status quo and have lots of experience with different disruptive startup companies. I enjoy to build simple proof of concepts before developing new functionalities. Studio automated offers the perfect workplace to combine all of these things.
Thomas Bakker
I keep my inner fire burning by maintaining a healthy balance between playing tennis, cooking, creating music and, of course, solving problems with AI, especially the problems that are concerned with teaching computers to 'see' as much as us. At Studio Automated I have the privilege to work on solving these problems in a driven and ambitious team, a team that also likes to joke around as soon as the opportunity arises.

My greatest passions are food, sports and tech. I am most proud of working closely with a team to bring leading-edge software to the world. It is great to work at Studio Automated because we are transforming state-of-the-art AI algorithms into real-world applications.
Wouter Uijens
Originally I worked on the studio automated technology when it still was developed inside TNO. I was so passionate about the potential, I joined SA and started working on it full-time. Our technological solution is such a good match to a real world need, that it is an unique opportunity to work here.
Arnoud de Vries
It is very rewarding when I know the customer enjoys using the software I built. We work on innovative solutions, including things no-one has ever done before. While Studio Automated is growing fast you can still feel the high energy unique to a startup everyday. It’s great to work with smart and motivated people in a no-nonsense environment.
