About

Hi! My name is Robin. I have PhD and MS degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from UC Davis, where I was employed as the full instructor for the undergraduate Machine Learning Course. Afterwards, I completed a Machine Learning PostDoc at LLNL working on NIF during the recent world breakthrough achieving nuclear fusion. Throughout my university and postdoc research I not only published dozens of papers, but also developed many popular frameworks in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Data Science.

I do any type of mentoring/consulting (eg. PhD research projects, industry); ask me what you need help with! I also offer 3 different series of lessons (Python, ML, and DL).

I have been working with Robin bi-weekly for many months now. I had began doing an online course/credential/bootcamp program but I am so glad I continued to work with Robin instead. Her course lessons aligned with the general ML algorithms I needed to learn and I aced my interview questions when they asked about them! It was so much easier to understand the theory with her examples and having opportunity to talk things out with her. Additionally, I am so grateful that her lesson notes taught me how to implement each algorithm in code as well. She also helped me with a python and LeetCode problems. (These were also in my interview and I did really well!) We normally do one session per week on python and one on ML. I didn’t know Python before working with her and now I’m a master at medium-hard LeetCode problems. She covered everything from basic to advanced data’s structures and algorithms in Python. It was much easier with someone to hold me accountable for writing quality code consistently. I learned Python much quicker than I could imagine! I’m really looking forward to continuing to learn deep learning with her while I work in my current SW engineering position. She has a lot of experience in the top models used and knows efficient techniques to optimize them based on her past research work.

Robin is a kind, intelligent, and patient tutor. She genuinely cares about her students and will take the time to make sure they understand the material. Machine learning can be a complicated topic but Robin is well qualified for answering questions and breaks down topics in a structured and organized manner. I highly recommend Robin for her supportive nature and great attitude!

Another great session with Robin. She is always prepared and has helpful teaching materials. She is very patient with me when I don't immediately understand concepts. I will definitely continue to work with her for weekly sessions; she has endless machine learning and deep learning materials. I can also ask her questions about my research and will probably have her help me moire on my research projects. I can definitely build up my resume with her help, mentorship, and guidance. I feel like I learned so much in just one session! Looking forward to more and deep diving into this new exciting field. Companies have already contacted me to setup interviews as they saw my ML practice work I did with her.
