Hands-on support
Hello! I’m an Electrical Engineer with over 10 years of experience in data analytics and AI. I hold both a Master’s and a Ph.D. in Engineering, which have shaped my deep technical foundation.
Currently, I work at Microsoft, specializing in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and copilots within the M365 ecosystem, following a tenure at Microsoft Research. My work blends research and engineering, from evaluating AI models to building impactful, real-world solutions, work that has led to multiple patents and publications.
Over the past 6 years, I’ve mentored 300+ students through MentorCruise, Udacity, and Data Science Dojo, helping them go from fundamentals in Data Science and Machine Learning to confidently applying those skills in projects, research, and industry roles. I’ve also consulted for companies like Shell, Fastshop, Symrise, and Petrobras on advanced AI and ML initiatives, giving me a strong perspective on what works in practice.
If you’re looking to strengthen your skills in DS, ML, or Generative AI, whether you’re a student, career-switcher, or working professional, I can help you create a personalized learning plan, master technical concepts, and build portfolio projects that stand out. Let’s connect on LinkedIn or send me a message here so we can start mapping your next step.
Looking forward!

Sara is a great mentor overall. I basically came in with no knowledge on LLMs, AI agents, RAG etc. With her I got my first retrieval mechanism work, created a Q/A dataset and started using observability platforms. Very happy how it went.

Working with Max was fantastic. He brought such a valuable product perspective to the technical work, it made diving into LLMs, RAG, and agents so much more dynamic because we could connect the implementation details to real use cases and product thinking. Really enjoyed seeing you build all you did. Wishing you all the best as you continue building with AI!

Sara is an excellent mentor with deep knowledge in her field. Even though we only worked together for two months, she quickly understood where I was and pointed me in the right direction. She's insightful, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping her mentees grow. Highly recommend!
