ABOUT ME
Data scientist and machine learning engineer.
Data scientist and machine learning engineer.
I'm a data scientist with a strong belief in proper software engineering and architecture. I'm fluent (self-taught!) in both Python and Scala, and have taught Python classes from the very basics. I believe in learning something new every day, and that you can always improve.

Brings great insight and experience to the table and makes sure to thoroughly understand problem in order to give useful guidance. Very easy to work with and I'll definitely work with him again.

So thorough, thoughtful and methodic with his thinking and communication. Also communicated edge cases really well. Knew ML concepts and taught them with clarity. I would work with Marcus again in a heartbeat!

Very helpful! Marcus quickly understood my issues and talked me through the solution to make sure I understood how and why the solution worked.

Amazing, the session we had was more of consultation session, Marcus directed my attention to aspects that I did not think about, and gave me other possible solutions. will work with him in the future.

Marcus was excellent and extremely knowledgable. He did a good job of verifying the way I completed something and then, baby stepping me through a more efficient way that I had not seen before with matplotlib and pandas. I would easily use again.

Marcus is highly proficient in machine learning and NLP. He has helped me think through problems differently and educated me on some core topics of data science that were not well taught in school. I would highly recommend Marcus and will plan on using him again.

I have already left multiple reviews for Marcus. I have nothing but positive things to say about him. This job was no exception. I have had sessions with him about Python, Machine Learning, Programming; he knows it all and knows it very well and explains it very well. There is good reason he is a top rated mentor.

Marcus is INCREDIBLE. As others have stated, he has immense knowledge, but not only that, HIS UNDERSTANDING is impeccable. That is why he is able to explain the concepts to you in a format that is easy to understand and provide relevant and practical examples. I cannot recommend Marcus enough.
