“Nick has been a major force in modernizing the data landscape at the Times for several years. He has an astoundingly deep understanding of data modeling, distributed computation, and most all related topics. He's highly skilled at separating hype from substance when it comes to new technologies, and confident enough in those skills to solidify a data-driven culture wherever he goes. It may sound trite to talk about someone's passion for their work, but Nick's drive and curiosity towards data science and engineering is unmatched in anyone I've worked with. Any strongly data-driven company would be fortunate to have him on board.”
