I highly recommend Ben as an advisor for all things under the Data Science umbrella. I had the pleasure of learning under Ben for half a year as one of his advisees. Ben’s knowledge of the material and commitment to his advisees was evident right from the first of our weekly meetings.
Ben was able to clearly explain and breakdown the most complex of Data Science topics, from Support Vector Machines to Naïve Bayes. In addition to assisting with the lecture material, Ben was able to provide helpful tips on the Python language, and coding best practices. Ben was a patient advisor, understanding and accommodating of my busy work schedule. He was also adept at motivating me when reaching seemingly impassable roadblocks on projects and problem sets.
Perhaps most noteworthy and exceptional about my time with Ben, was his willingness to assist on problems outside the scope of our course together. Ben was always eager and willing to help solve data science or programming problems I had run into at my work, entirely unrelated to the Springboard course for which he was my advisor. Ben was consistently willing to spend additional time to ensure that there were no points of confusion at the end of our calls. This exemplifies the interest Ben takes in his advisees. […]
