David Lara Arango Ph.D

David has been a tremendous help in getting me on track with my development as an ML Engineer. After just four sessions, I have gained clear directions for my next career steps (e.g. projects, certification, and goals). What really sets David apart is his genuine effort to helping you--it is clear that he is really committed to mentoring. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for expert guidance from someone who works in the field and have lots of experience with ML, data science, and cloud services.

David has been a great mentor, guiding me through the start of my freelance career and helping me work with a tech stack that includes Matillion ETL and Snowflake. He has also been a big help with my startup, Hylia.io, which is building a simple, multi-platform dashboard app that works as a virtual lifecoach and mentor, using gamification to keep users motivated. We meet twice a week, and those sessions are always fun. David has a good sense of humour and knows how to make me feel comfortable. His IT knowledge is impressive, and he always points me in the right direction and keeps me motivated. I'm really excited about adding AI and LLM features to my app. David knows a lot about these topics, as well as data engineering, which will help us build the right features. His advice is invaluable, and I couldn't ask for a better mentor.
