Christian’s hunger for constantly improving his skills in disciplines ranging from data science to oceanography has always impressed me. His meticulous approach to whatever project he is working on, hard work ethic, and in-depth knowledge of the latest data science technologies make him an ideal candidate for a position in the field of data science.
Esa-Matti Tastula, Ph.D., Data Scientist @ StormGeo Shipping - Applied Weather Technology, Silicon Valley, CA
Christian is very detail oriented, consistent, and very knowledgeable. Working with him in the past and even beyond that I have enjoyed his teamwork ability and always admired how he handled difficult tasks and situations. Every task he is given is brought to completion in a way that I have not seen often. Besides work, he is a fun person to hang out with. I hope that our professional paths will cross many times in the future.
