“I had the pleasure of working with Joan at Figure Eight, when she was our resident NLP expert. I’d hire Joan back in a heartbeat. One of her most remarkable traits is that, contrarily to many others, Joan is equally suitable for a small startup or a large company. I have found her to be highly efficient both in situations of high stress (and tight deadlines), when things need to move fast, or when a problem needs to be dug into with high scrutiny. She is able to deliver high quality work both on “easy problems” or sophisticated ones. Joan does not overcomplicate things, which allows her to provide efficient and elegant solution in a timely manner. As a manager and mentor, she is capable of providing both technical and structure to more junior team members and is always available to her peers. I’ve rarely seen a ML scientist as astute in all things Agile! Finally, she is a strong conference speaker and has brought our team a lot of value and visibility through her talks and research.”
