Hugh TaylorSenior Data Scientist at Omniscient Neurotechnology, Omniscient
“It’s been a great success, It’s added value. They were really capable of pursuing data science projects with limited supervision. And there were no communication or time difference issues. They really helped our team.”
Krzysztof StecLead Data Scientist at Philip Morris International
“The value we are hoping to get is in their in-process work on a cutting-edge neural network implementation in Python. While the final product isn't deliverable yet, they've made visible steps toward success, and in the modelling phase, they've done faster than I expected.”
Jericho McLeodData Scientist, Elder Research
The Ishango.ai Data Scientist has been an incredible asset to our team. Victoire’s work ethic, positive attitude, flexibility, and commitment have been commendable. She has been an integral part of the team, extracting insights from complex data that have supported key decisions.
