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!

My first session with Shagun was great. I came in with a surface-level understanding of deep reinforcement learning from random readings and experiments. He was able to quickly tune his mentoring to my knowledge. He gave quickly grok-able metaphors to help me understand the difference between RL algorithms. And I could tell he could go much deeper. He took notes during the session, which he shared, along with follow up links, for me to dive deeper and explore. I highly recommend.
