“John was a student of mine for the Generalized Linear Models course in MS Predictive Analytics program at Northwestern. I have had many excellent students in the program, but John stands out as one of my best. First, he mastered all the assigned work, and next he did every one of the bonus problems. The bonus work was difficult and definitely required taking one's analytic skills to the next level. He was also generous with his time and experience. There were students in the class that struggled with the material, and John went out of his way to assist these students and help them get through the class. His work was always first rate. In fact, one of his assignments was of such high quality, I asked him if I could use it as an example to future students of the type of work that I wanted in the class. He agreed and I am still using his paper to this day. John is exactly the type of person that any analytics organization needs. He has mastered all the necessary knowledge of Data Science, he pushes himself to learn above and beyond what is required, his work is first rate, and he is generous with his time so that other can be more productive. John Young has a true love of Data Science and would be a valuable addition to any organization.”
