THIS IS what my students are saying about me
“Mark’s training has been an eye-opening experience for me. I never thought of building machine learning apps in just a few days! With the techniques that I learned, I built an object detector prototype for my work in just 2 days! I thought that would take months.”
Huan Yong

“Mark is een kei van een trainer die de meest ingewikkelde zaken kan uitleggen alsof het heel simpel is. Zijn nuchterheid is verfrissend en geeft vertrouwen. Zelfs aan het einde van een lange trainingsdag krijgt hij het voor elkaar dat je nog steeds geboeid zit te luisteren.”
Elles de Koning
