It's very simple: I learned everything about the foundations of Machine Learning and rigorous programming with Simon, and I've never found a more skilled Data Scientist since then (that was 4 years ago) Not only is he very skilled in Statistics, Data Science and Programming, he's also very knowledgeable about many subjects, and he was a great manager/mentor to me. Just pick Simon if you're serious about the project you want to realize
