“I had the pleasure of judging Kabiru during a data science fellowship final round presentations. The S2DS program run by Pivigo. They and their whole team showed great professionalism in the way they organised the work - playing to each other's strengths while collaborating well as a team. All the judges agreed that the whole team could be brought into a company 'as is' to work on important data science and machine learning projects. A very impressive team of individual skills all with a deep understanding of the data science, computer science and business required to be successful in industry.”
