Nico Coallier
Working with Evan has been one of the best professional experience I've had! He is a very genuine, attentive, devoted, caring and smart individual. In addition to his soft skills, he has a great analytic and scientific mind where the challenges brings the best out of him. While Evan was my boss, I never felt like I couldn't express my opinion and/or ideas, actually quite the opposite. Evan is a great leader that sees team members strength and weakness and place people in position to have success. I would work with Evan again and again without doubt ! Finally, the impact Evan brings on a culture is also to be considered. With his perpetual smile and positive energy, he has a way of bringing everybody in the same boat and enjoy the ride !

I highly recommend Evan as an exceptional partner in research and innovation. Over the past five years, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Evan on an interdisciplinary project aimed at applying multimodal machine learning techniques to improve beekeeping management. Throughout our partnership, I was consistently impressed by Evan's expertise and his unwavering commitment to using technology to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the beekeeping industry. His passion for advancing scientific understanding and making a positive impact in the world was truly inspiring. Evan was an invaluable collaborator, always willing to work collaboratively with our research team and provide expert guidance and insights. Thanks to Evan's contributions, we were able to make significant progress on our research goals and unlock new insights that have the potential to make a real difference in the beekeeping industry. I highly recommend Evan to any organization or individual looking for an exceptional partner in research and innovation. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Evan again in the future.
