Hands-on support
I'm a Staff ML Engineer at Walmart Global Tech. My day job is building ML infrastructure that serves millions of users - recommender systems, vector search, production AI that has to stay up. I have interviewed over 100+ people in my career and hired ML engineers, so I know what gets someone a Senior or Staff offer versus a rejection.
I mentor people on:
- Breaking into ML or data science from an adjacent field
- ML system design and technical interview prep (the same bar I hold candidates to)
- Getting promoted to Senior or Staff — scope, visibility, the parts nobody tells you
- Going deeper on LLMs, MLOps, vector databases, and production ML
- Feedback on your actual work: projects, research papers, system designs, career calls
I keep my roster small so I can stay close to each person's situation. If you're switching into ML, prepping for interviews, or stuck below the next level, book an intro call and tell me where you're at - I'll be straight with you about what it'll take.
Mentees who work with a mentor for 3+ months reach their goals 2x faster than those going it alone. Long-term mentorship means fewer false starts, more focused sessions, and support that builds week after week.
