Martin Laprise is a Founder and Chief Scientist at Hectiq.AI. He possess expertise in python, natural language processing, physics, data mining, machine learning and 28 more skills. He is proficient in English. Colleagues describe him as "I was fortunate to hire Martin twice - at both Klood and Twenty3. When searching for Klood's first data scientist, it became clear that there are many "theoretical" data scientists out there. Martin stood out from them all because he possessed valuable engineering skills that meant he could take an idea and deliver it all the way from theory through to servers running in AWS. So much data science gets stuck in Jupyter Notebooks or R... with Martin you avoid this and bring data science all the way to production. 10/10 would hire again!" and "Martin is awesome: passionate about data, motivated by challenges, and lots of deep knowledge in important tools in the PyData and Hadoop/Spark ecosystems. Martin was one of my earliest hires for Parse.ly's backend/data team, and kept up with the ecosystem as it evolved quickly alongside our company. He self-instructed in technologies like Pig, Pandas, pyspark, and other tools, and regularly wrote data analyses that became part of our public research or customer-facing products. He also mastered all the various data stores we used, such as MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and Amazon Redshift, so that he could write scripts to pull data for our marketing and product teams, or investigate data discrepancies. He has a boundless curiosity, a strong work ethic, and is not afraid to roll up his sleeves to hack on projects. I highly recommend him."
