About

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, as well as assisting machine learning engineers in their research endeavors, getting juniors on the right track for their career, and help with the transition from IC to EM.

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 bootstrapping. I am currently co-founder and principal engineer at an early-stage machine learning start-up, and have a strong understanding of the challenges and considerations involved in this stage of a company's development.

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 in the financial sector and Ph.D. in machine learning algorithms for software engineering and network analysis. I have also completed data science consulting projects on the side, managed teams as well as teams of teams and leads of leads.

I enjoyed working with Chris, but I feel I could not get the most out of the mentorship and I expected more from it.

Chris mentored me for several months on Machine Learning topics, in particular creating & managing a roadmap as well as ML project management. The mentorship was a great experience! He quickly understood my goals & needs and proposed concrete tasks for achieving them. With his help, I created new sustainable processes to manage our ML roadmap. Chris gives very valuable input and has expertise in ML project management, a deep understanding of ML algorithms & models, and knows the latest trends. I could achieve my goal and am thankful for Chris' mentoring.
