How to Know If One is a Good Data Scientist?

by Koo Ping Shung

Someone asked me this question,”How do I know if I’ve hired someone who is a good and experienced data scientist.”

My answer is “It takes one to know one.”

In my opinion, a good data scientist is not defined by certifications alone. A good project portfolio, well-documented codes and able to discuss the many ways to solve a business challenge through data are good indications of  an experienced and good data scientist.

The last point is the reason why I gave the answer that it takes one to know one. :)
