👋 Hey there!
I’m a software engineer specialized in AI, working with GenAI, NLP, and AI Agents (LangChain, CrewAI, Google ADK), MCP and RAG. I’ve got 3 years of academic background and 10+ years of industry experience as a tech manager and AI Engineer, rolling out custom AI strategies for clients around the world. Currently I'm the Head of AI for a company based in the US.
Over the past few years, I’ve mentored both technical professionals who want to deepen their AI expertise and non-technical people looking to understand and apply AI confidently in their work or business. My goal is always to make AI feel practical, not intimidating.
It’s also worth noting that AI mentoring and AI consulting are very different:
1. Consulting is hands-on, I build, fix, or optimize your AI systems directly (that's basically my day job).
2. Mentoring is collaborative. I guide you to learn how to do it yourself, so you can become fully independent in the long run.
I don’t promote consulting during mentoring, this space is meant to be safe, supportive, and focused entirely on your growth. But if you ever decide you’d like to switch to a consulting engagement, that’s always an open conversation.
As a mentor, I can help you:
1. Build confidence and self-empowerment in your AI journey
2. Connect your passions to real income opportunities (I make around 2k/month in passive income with AI)
3. Navigate your (tech) career and professional growth (identify the right AI job title & skills)
4. Design a strong portfolio and personal brand (capstone or guided projects)
5. Prepare for interviews and salary negotiations
6. Tackle challenging situations at work (e.g. how to successfully get budget approval from upper management for you AI POCs, how to get approval to attend an AI conference, etc.)
I care deeply about authenticity and adapt my mentoring style to what you need most. You’ll always have a free introductory call to make sure it’s the right fit.
5 out of 5 stars
I’ve had the absolute privilege of being mentored by Annabella for about a year now, and she has been completely pivotal to my growth as an engineer. When we first started working together, I had just transitioned into a new AI Engineering role and was facing a steep learning curve. Annabella was instrumental in helping me grasp complex concepts and transition from an AI newcomer into a confident sr. AI Engineer. What makes Annabella truly exceptional is her range. She possesses the rare ability to dive deep into the intricate technical details of AI engineering, while seamlessly zooming out to discuss high-level business strategy and even life advice. I am so incredibly thankful for her time, wisdom, and support. If you are looking to seriously level up in your AI engineering journey, you need Annabella in your corner. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
