Mentorship Testimonials & Quotes

"I reached out to Jen as I needed help learning Python and SQL for my job. Over the course of the 2 months that I worked with her, Jen showed me a new side to programming that I had not discovered before. Previously when I tried to learn it myself, I struggled a lot and didn't find it interesting, so I made very little progress. However, Jen put together a study plan for me that helped me understand the basics and tackle more advanced problems. She also made sure that the exercises were tailored to the needs in my job. She's great at taking away the intimidation when it comes to writing codes for beginners. I would definitely recommend her for anyone wanting to become a data scientist or progress in their career as one."

"At the end of last year, I sought out Tim to help me land a job as a Machine Learning Engineer. I had a background in data science but needed more experience on cloud and model deployment. He helped me with many things: - We settled on a project together to implement a tool based on LLMs and deploy the API on AWS EKS with Terraform and Kubernetes, and gave me weekly feedback on the progress and ideas for developing it further. - He recommended a certification as AWS Solution Architect Associate which I completed and helped land me the job. - He helped me craft my resume and make it much more relevant for recruiters. - He prepared me for interviews by doing mock interviews with me, both on the HR-type of questions "Describe a time where you had to learn something new in order to solve a problem", and for the technical round "Describe how you would implement a recommender system". He came prepared with challenging questions and really helped me step up my game in the interviews. I especially enjoy how hands-on he is: he is available for weekly meetings, and usually responds to any questions within a day. All-in-all, he is very knowledgeable especially when it comes to system design (Kubernetes, Database design, event-driven architectures, model deployment in the cloud). He made the path to landing my job much smoother, and I learned a ton from him. Highly recommended!"
