I'm an ML Engineering Manager at Meta, formerly at LinkedIn, with years of experience leading large-scale machine learning and AI initiatives from research to production. My expertise spans traditional machine learning, information retrieval, NLP, large language models (LLMs), recommendation systems, and ads ranking.
I enjoy mentoring engineers at all career stages by helping them master ML/AI fundamentals, excel in coding and system design interviews, navigate career transitions, and grow into senior IC or engineering management roles. My goal is to provide practical, industry-focused guidance based on real-world experience building production AI systems at top technology companies.
2 out of 5 stars
The sessions lack technical depth making it not useful for the production usecase I was working on.
