About

With 5+ years in AI, I’ve guided 17+ startups, and 50+ mentees in leveraging AI for their projects. I identify gaps, assess feasibility, and use my expertise in Explainable AI to evaluate and enhance models.
My passion for teaching and mentoring led to top-level opportunities at Google (GDE and Startup Accelerator) and Nvidia (DLI Instructor).

In addition, I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in AI, leveraging eXplainable AI (XAI) to reduce cybersecurity risk. It is the perfect timing if you wish state-of-the-art solutions to your problems.
My current areas of expertise are Explainable AI, Model Inspection and Audit, NLP, and Language Models.

Here is how I can help you:
1) Startup Mentorship: Whether you are refining your AI-driven business model or need a deep dive into the feasibility of your idea, I can help.
2) Project Support: From troubleshooting ML models to exploring new research directions, I provide hands-on support to ensure your projects succeed.
3) Innovation Strategy: I help identify and develop innovative AI solutions tailored to your unique challenges and goals.
4) Continuous Learning: I help identify gaps and provide actionable strategies to deepen your understanding of AI concepts and stay updated with the latest advancements.

If you tick any of these, book a free intro call, and let’s explore how we can work together.
FYI: the number of hours per month a plan offers can be aggregated. If you need urgent X hours ASAP we can arrange that.

To make it easier for you to choose a plan, here's how my current mentees are distributed:
- Career transition, upskilling, general guidance --> Lite Plan
- Founder MVP, Company Consulting, Model auditing --> Standard Plan

I am very, very pleased with my experience with Elyes. He takes the time to break down complex topics and teaches you like a personal tutor/prof. Not only is he technical, but he gives excellent advice on networking. Sign up; you won't regret it!

Elyes has been a significant influence on my development in data science and machine learning. He has helped me strengthen my problem-solving skills and deepen my background knowledge in these areas. One key lesson he imparted was how to approach learning a new subject effectively, which has greatly improved my ability to grasp complex topics. I particularly appreciate how he tackles challenges; he breaks down issues and helps me analyze them, teaching me to approach problems systematically. His feedback has been valuable in shaping my work, and our relationship has grown into a friendly, collaborative partnership. I would recommend him to others because his knowledge and practical insights have been genuinely helpful in my growth.

Elyes has provided good guidance and direction for our startup, despite some of the quirks that make it different to what he's used to seeing. His skills as an academic researcher are valuable, as he was able to fish out papers and resources for some of the more obscure things we were doing. He's clearly passionate about both the technical and business problems, and is willing to give ideas on every level of the stack, from the ML implementation nitty gritty, to the business organisation and planning.
