Greg, Hi.

I'm an extremely motivated and introspective English Software engineer, moving internationally to pursue career success. I'm currently running my own software business as an independent software consultant. I've been thinking a lot about what needs to be done to succeed during my time as an engineer, I'd love to share these insights with people and help them achieve their career/academic dreams. I have previously worked at other prestigious companies as a developer such as JPMorgan Chase & Co and one of Europe's most successful Tech Unicorns - Adyen (Bigger than Spotify!).

I think my major selling point is I'm really not a genius at all, and I've had to fight to get where I am using good strategy and appropriate use of hard work. I believe these lessons are very teachable.

I'm looking for a specific type of mentee so please don't be upset if I end up declining!
If you're interested let's have a call free of charge to talk things through.

Quick note: Despite my current LinkedIn title I do not work with Machine Learning, I cover software engineering. I'm sure there are plenty of other great mentors on here who could help you out with ML instead.

Greg is an exceptional mentor who will explain things in depth and provide professional quality instruction and explanations in code reviews and in answering any potential questions. In a short amount of time Greg has turned around the way i approach coding and has improved the quality of my code significantly. He was always easy to approach and extremely in-depth with his explanations of programming concepts whilst still being able to explain clearly and concisely to a layman like me. I recommend Greg to the highest degree and thank him for his time.

Greg has a vast knowledge of computer science concepts. He is also great at communicating his ideas - this is hard to achieve especially with technical topics. He was always quick to reply and we even had a couple of video calls to go over some issues I had at some point. I had to pause my mentorship due to personal reasons but will certainly come back for more of his mentorship at a later date.
