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. If you want to understand the whole LLM and AI engineering space you're in good hands. She really knows her way around the whole prompt engineering, RAG, evaluations and agents pipeline. It's a great feeling that I (as a PM) can explain all the parts of a RAG system to engineers and how to evaluate them.
