About

Welcome to my mentoring page! My name is Nikola and I am an experienced researcher/engineer in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning based in Switzerland. I have a PhD in NLP from ETH Zurich (top 10 CS school) and over 9 years research and development experience in deep learning and AI.

I have mentored over 60 people in 1000+ sessions: professionals working at top companies (Google, Meta, Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, American Express, Bloomberg, Rakuten, Eastdil Secured, etc.), startup founders, and researchers from top universities. Many of my mentees have made a career transition to AI, have landed jobs in big tech, or have started companies.

As a mentor, I specialise two areas:
- Help you to land your dream job in AI / Data Science / Machine Leaning. I will guide and support you to become an expert in the field. We will work on state-of-the-art projects that enhance your skills and AI portfolio, tweak your CV and job application strategy, and prepare for interviews. I will support you in every step of the way, from application, to salary negotiation.
- Provide state-of-the-art technical advice to people working on an AI project. I have helped founders and managers to tweak their AI product strategy, researchers to publish papers at top-tier conferences, as well as people who seek general advice and guidance, either related to their job, or to a hobby project. I can clarify technical concepts, and even help with code debugging in the video calls.

If you're interested in working with me, please check out my website at http://www.nikolov.ch/ for more information and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals in NLP and AI!

My technical skills:
Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LLMs (Llama, Mistral, GPT, prompt engineering, etc.), encoder-decoder as well as encoder-only models (BERT, T5, BART, etc.) Embeddings, NN search, MLOps (REST APIs, Docker, Kubernetes, Flask, Azure).

I had the pleasure of working with Nikola on my Natural Language Processing (NLP) project, and I can confidently say that his guidance was invaluable. He was extremely helpful and brought a wealth of knowledge and creative ideas to the table. His deep understanding of NLP was evident throughout our collaboration, and he consistently provided insightful suggestions that significantly enhanced the quality of my work. Nikola’s expertise, combined with his approachable and supportive nature, made the entire process smooth and productive. I highly recommend Nikola to anyone seeking expert guidance in NLP or related fields.

Nikola is a great mentor and very experienced in NLP field. I've got tons of suggestions from him and precious advice about the project I was doing. He is very good at explaining and always quickly responds to my questions. I would recommend him to anyone who would like to learn more about NLP and how to build practical applications with LLMs.
