“Alden took on multiple tasks that were outside the scope of the role of an L4 Tech BD Intern and delivered a final product that would rival or outperform an L7 Tech BD (Business Developer). His analysis and technical skills (R Studio, Python Pandas, Quicksight, Kendra, Hugging Face, Excel, etc.) can be used immediately to making striking business development pipeline analysis or to build a world-class employee productivity chatbot that uses 10,000+ pages of documentation, sales plays, and customer references. The best part of Alden, was simply working with someone that would take on any task and bring a level of energy and productivity that would deliver amazing results in a short period of time. Alden, whatever career path you choose, I'm confident you'll crush your goals!”
