I've spent a good chunk of my career mentoring folks through various stages of their professional journeys. It's been a rewarding ride, helping many individuals land great jobs and ace interviews, while also supporting others in making career shifts, revamping portfolios, and successfully completing Machine Learning and Deep Learning projects that showcase their skills.
My experience covers a lot of ground, from guiding people as they transition into new roles to helping them create profiles that catch the eye of hiring managers. Whether it's diving into Data Science and Machine Learning or simply leveling up existing skills, I've been there to lend a hand.
In addition, I have a special session for giving consultation to anyone who is thinking about transitioning from academia to industry. Having successfully made this shift myself, I'm eager to help others navigate this important journey. You can book a session here:

Currently, I'm the CTO and co-founder at a tech startup in lively London. I've got a PhD from Princeton University and have spent over seven years working hands-on with computer vision and deep learning. This mix of academic background and real-world experience has given me plenty of insights that I'm excited to share with others looking to make waves in tech.

Hamid has been mentoring me through my challenge of landing my first full-time industry position after PhD completion. Over the past month, he has offered me his insights on how I can tailor my resume to geospatial data science job applications. In addition, he has conducted a mock interview session to help me prepare for introductory conversations with recruiters and hiring managers. Throughout all of our interactions, Hamid has consistently offered honest suggestions and words of encouragement. I particularly appreciate that, at times of need, he has been willing to provide tough feedback without sounding overly harsh. Currently, we are in the initial stages of planning an MLOps project to strengthen my portfolio for future job applications. I am eagerly looking forward to our forthcoming discussions.

Hamid has been my mentor for a couple of months. We are working on a vision project which is outside my Data Science / Statistics domain. He has a very down-to-earth approach in the way he mentors and I have found him to be very supportive and responsive. He is highly efficient in his ability to get a sense of the project bounds and provides clear technical advice - ensuring I understand the necessary stages. One thing I particularly appreciate is the clarity in the outline of “tasks and steps” following our fortnightly catch-up which leads in well to the back-and-forth support between face-to-face sessions… Highly recommended.
