About
update: I can no longer accommodate additional mentees as I am mentoring across several platforms!
hello, friends! 👋 2026 is the year of AI. In a landscape as vast and fast-changing as AI/ML/DS, there are an abundance of resources that can be overwhelming to navigate and challenging to know which ones to pursue, often misguiding you into irrelevant rabbit holes. Your background, experiences, and where you want to go are uniquely personal, and I’ll be your personal mentor to help you cut through all the noise to create a personalized learning approach for you to break into AI/ML/DS with more clarity, confidence, and understanding. 💫
I've owned recommendation systems end-to-end, and I'm comfortable full stack, from data analysis, data science, data engineering, backend software engineering, machine learning, machine learning engineering, to AI engineering! phew! My breadth and depth allow me to guide you in any step of the process while connecting you to the larger picture of how your skills fit in industry. 💫
I can help data folks or software folks pivot or grow into AI/MLE/DS. I can also help non-technical folks with AI literacy. I focus on frameworks and concepts to ground you over specific tools that keep evolving. My superpower is sharing practical tips that actually work in the AI/ML/DS industry that make it out of the textbook and academia world and into the real world. 🙌
My motivation: As someone who broke into the AI/ML/DS space from an unconventional background, I know the pains and roadblocks of starting over in a field so vast, technical, and usually highly non-diverse. There is also so much toil in theory that can be broken into simpler concepts, and the practical landscape in industry is quite different from the theory emphasized in school. Bridging that gap is so important to me, as I would have missed out if not for wonderful mentors that kept me motivated and confident in my own abilities while navigating such a fast-changing space. ✨

Kitu is a reliable, patient, and kind mentor. She always comes prepared and makes our sessions really engaging and hands-on. I appreciate how thoughtful her feedback is and how she pushes me to grow in a supportive way. You can tell she genuinely cares and always brings her best to help me reach mine! I came to her because I wanted to work on a project for Ai in education. Kitu often gives me challenges and tasks to complete so I leave the learning mode and get more into action mode.
