About

I’m Polina, a Senior Data & AI Engineer and consultant working at the intersection of AI, data, and real-world impact. I enjoy turning complex ideas into practical solutions - and just as much, helping people grow while doing the same.

One area I’m especially passionate about is supporting the transition from academia to industry. Having made that shift myself, I know how challenging it can be to translate research, theory, and academic experience into industry language, expectations, and confidence. As a mentor, I help you bridge that gap - from positioning your skills and experience, to navigating interviews, workplace dynamics, and career decisions.

My mentoring style is honest, collaborative, and hands-on. I care less about perfection and more about progress. I’m here to challenge you thoughtfully, support you genuinely, and help you connect the dots between what you already know and the impact you want to create. If you’re curious, motivated, and ready to grow, I’ll meet you exactly where you are.

What happens when you start

You tell Polina your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Polina reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
