Simon Suo is a Co-founder/CTO @ LlamaIndex - Hiring! at LlamaIndex. He possess expertise in java, c++, python, apache kafka, algorithms and 2 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I mentored Simon while he did his full-time four month internship at Bloomberg. The project involved building a proof of concept for a logging system akin to Google's Dapper or Twitter's Zipkin. He prototype two approaches to interface Bloomberg's proprietary systems and log to a data-store. The first was HBase and the second was Cassandra. Kafka and Storm were also in the mix. I provided him with a high level overview of the required tasks and the technologies to consider. He was able to self-document himself, however, he also knew when it would make sense to consult others for advice or feedback for improvement. I never really felt I was managing Simon at all, but rather we were working toward a common goal. He was very self-motivated and passionate about technology, math, and science. He impressed me with his effortless transition between the various languages (mainly C++, Java, and Python). He definitely performed at a level exceeding my expectations and, more importantly, his work is now being continued. This ensures it will have an impact on our system goals. I would, without any hesitation, recommend Simon for any position requiring independence, critical thinking, and a passion for software development."
