Bio
Stan Neo
Tristan is one of those rare people who combines his passion and determination with good humour and strong technical skills for every project he does. I met him at the Metis Data Science Bootcamp when I was a visiting instructor from Singapore. During those 3 months, he demonstrated his excellent capabilities as an individual contributor. I remembered during his fourth project, he used a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to generate interesting text trained from a lot of religious text. Take note that at that point, we have not taught the class RNN and he picked up everything on his own. Needless to say, his creative project topic and smooth delivery was a highlight for everyone at his presentation. Tristan would be a valuable asset to any company. Personally, I would love to work with Tristan again under any circumstances and I give him my full recommendation.
