One-off sessions are a great option if you’re looking for specific advice on a certain topic.

I manage a small data science team for a startup (<40 people) and can help you learn about data science products, what makes a good analysis great, applying machine learning beyond pure model building, managing realtime models, moving to and thriving in a startup, and lastly how to get into or move up in Data Science (hint: it's not too late).
Like most, my journey into data science was far from typical. I took turns in sales, engineering, technology and analytics while trying various aspects of insurance industries; all with the goal to grasp the big picture and day-to-day application of data science. That experience helped me to understand data science in a broader context. Today, my career and perspective matches that of a data science generalist and I agree fondly with the saying "a jack of all trades is a master of none, but is still better than a master of one."
Within so much change during 7+ years in data, one thing has been constant: mentoring teammates. I have mentored 8 junior data scientists, analysts and non DS teammates and have helped 5 grow upward or enter into tech and DS roles. I've witnessed this get tougher in today's job market. I have been mentored by 3 data science managers so I know what it's like in your shoes. I have been fortunate to manage a larger team of 10 to support a DS community as well and continue to mentor/connect folks who have moved companies or grown beyond my role.
All of this to say - my goal is to help you learn more about data science and analytics and grow professionally and personally. We'll do that together by discussing topics openly, working through problems, applying solutions and keeping on track with weekly takeaways and monthly goals.
We can work together in 3 ways - individual sessions, a hands-on Standard Mentorship or a less hands on Lite version and I always start mentorships with a free introductory call we can get to know each other more.
I hope I get the chance to help you grow.

5 out of 5 stars
This was my first experience working with a mentor and Ian was amazing. He made me feel welcomed and at ease. I felt comfortable freely discussing all the challenges I was facing in my career. Ian was a great sounding board, offering words of encouragement and making sure I was on the right track - it really helped to boost my confidence.

My goal of the mentorship was to get a head start in the transition from Data Analytics to Data Science. From Ian, I got that and more! Ian helped me create a customized curriculum with books and online courses based on my current knowledge, and also assisted me in defining and starting my Machine Learning project, which I had been struggling with. Finally, after multiple months of mentoring, I decided to apply for an online Data Science Master's program at one of the prestigious US universities, where I got accepted thanks to Ian's guidance and support. I cannot recommend Ian enough!
5 out of 5 stars
Have really enjoyed working with Ian. At the start of the mentorship, Ian drew up a plan of how to get me to my expected goal. He has been available for questions, reviewing progress, checking in when needed - all things you’d want from a mentor. He’s very patient and understanding and very knowledgeable in this field.
