As a mentor with a background in both research and industry, I have a wealth of experience of 10+ years to draw upon when guiding individuals through the field of machine learning. My focus is on helping experienced software engineers transition into ML/DS, the transition from IC to leadership (EM, staff+, i.e. management or technical leadership roles), as well as assisting machine learning engineers in their research endeavors.
A typical mentorship session with me will begin with a review of your career, skills, and goals. From there, we will assess the steps and skills needed to achieve those goals and develop a long-term plan and specific projects to support your overall objective.
In addition to my expertise in machine learning, I am also available to discuss topics such as product-market-fit, validation, business models, start-up fundraising, and road development, and prioritization. Here, I draw from my experience both as founder as well as the director of a 30+ people strong ML org.
Throughout my career, I have held a number of roles that have allowed me to build a diverse skill set. These include machine learning research scientist, Ph.D./postdoc in machine learning for software engineering and network analysis. I have also completed data science consulting projects, managed teams as well as teams of teams and leads of leads as director of an entire department.
