“Emil came to us as a "business intern" but totally transcended the role. His enthusiasm for building new skills, and especially taking on coding and machine learning challenges was impressive. In fact, he put together a fantastic random forest model which is now a key component of our system. While his organizational and task management skills show he will do well in business, Emil could easily take on a data scientist or engineering role.”
