Shagun is great! I had to pause the mentorship due to health reasons but in my short time consulting him, he was really responsive and provided me with great advice and guidance. He was also very attentive to the specific needs I had and pointed me to resources tailored to me. I look forward to working with him again!

I got a privilege of being a mentee under Shogun in the field of artificial intelligence for the past one month. Shogun's background in AI, with a masters in Machine Learning and a track record of research publications, patents made him an invaluable mentor to my professional growth in this field. As I continue my mentorship under him, Shogun consistently provided me with his insightful guidance and resources. His patience and approachable nature allowed me to comfortably seek his advise on wide range of topics. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Shogun.

I approached Shagun on Mentor Cruise with the aim of deepening my understanding of PyTorch and the broader field of deep learning. My motivation stemmed from a desire to apply these technologies in my projects. From the outset, Shagun demonstrated not just an impressive command of PyTorch and deep learning principles, but also an exceptional ability to teach them. Our collaboration was marked by a tailored approach, where he took the time to understand my learning style and objectives. Shagun broke down complex concepts into digestible segments, making the learning process both enjoyable and highly effective. One aspect I particularly appreciated was Shagun's commitment to practical application. He is guiding me through a hands-on project that were directly aligned with my goals, providing invaluable insights and tips along the way. While it is still early in my mentorship with Shagun, I am already seeing the benefits. His guidance is proving to be invaluable, and I am eagerly looking forward to continuing my learning journey under his mentorship. I highly recommend Shagun to anyone who is starting or looking to deepen their understanding in this field. In summary, Shagun is a phenomenal mentor whose expertise in PyTorch and deep learning is matched by his ability to teach and inspire. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to advance in this field.
