Nathan Derave is a Data and Machine Learning Engineer at Data Minded. He is proficient in English. Colleagues describe him as "I think what makes Nathan a great engineer above all is his ‘tenacity’. When dealing with the technologies he is not well aware of, he articulates his lack of knowledge/experience instead of giving a knowing look. What is surprising is his endeavour to catch up from that moment onwards. I have seen people who just delegate decision making processes to more experienced ones and sit back. However, it seems that Nathan becomes motivated when challenging himself by learning something new. This is why I enjoyed having a technical discussion with him irrespective of the topic. It is needless to say that he impressed me many times by the sheer speed at which he processed information. Also, there is another type of tenacity; make things better inch by inch continuously. Nathan is type of a person who keeps his eyes on the already-delivered outputs. In other words, he not only thinks about what to build next but also about how to improve existing softwares. It is widely believed that there is no perfect software. With Nathan, however, I felt like we were moving to that direction day by day. In a nutshell, having a tenacious man like Nathan in a team is such a gift." and "I had the pleasure to meet Nathan at DPG Media on a project in the news recommendation domain. We worked closely together for an entire year and from the very first moment I was impressed by the enthusiasm that Nathan showed on a daily basis, his curiosity towards any technology, his proactive attitude and can-do mentality. Our team consisted in a mix of machine learning and platform engineers and Nathan covered the role of platform engineer majestically with his supportive presence around me and the other machine learning engineers. Also, he always delivered work of excellent quality and it was thanks to him that our team could count all the time on a meticulous and up-to-date documentation! I learnt a lot from him and enjoyed every day of our work together. I can only recommend working with him to everyone looking for a team player with strong technical and soft skills and contagious positive attitude!"
