About

👋 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.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

When I first sought mentorship, I was looking for guidance to sharpen my AI and software engineering skills and to find a clearer direction for my professional growth. Over the past three months, Annabella has gone far beyond that goal—providing not only cutting-edge AI resources and insights but also encouragement that’s elevated my confidence and motivation. In each session, she brings valuable tools, fresh perspectives, and an infectious passion for the field. Together, we’ve tackled complex challenges by breaking them into actionable steps, and I’ve learned how to approach problems with both technical precision and creative thinking. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just focus on technical skills—she challenges me to grow holistically as a professional and as a person. This mentorship has accelerated my development in AI, deepened my understanding of software engineering, and strengthened my mindset for lifelong learning. I’ve already seen a measurable improvement in my abilities and clarity in my career path, and I’m excited to continue working with Annabella as we explore new opportunities and challenges ahead.
