I help career changers, UX researchers, AI/ML professionals, and ambitious tech professionals move into stronger, more strategic roles by clarifying their direction, positioning their experience, and strengthening their career materials.
I am a Lead AI UX Researcher at NVIDIA, focused on AI-driven products across machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, and agentic AI. My work centers on understanding how developers and organizations adopt and operationalize advanced AI capabilities across real-world workflows.
Over about a decade in industry, I have grown my compensation by 9x by strategically moving across companies, industries, and higher-impact roles. Along the way, I transitioned from service-oriented work into more strategic roles by positioning my skills, choosing high-leverage opportunities, negotiating effectively, and evolving with the market. I bring that same practical lens to mentorship, helping mentees make smarter career moves with more clarity and confidence.
My mentorship is best suited for people who want to move into big tech, transition into AI product work, or grow beyond execution-focused roles. I can help you clarify your career direction, identify transferable strengths, improve your resume, LinkedIn profile, and design/research portfolio, strengthen UX research case studies, prepare for interviews, and build a realistic roadmap toward your next opportunity.
My mentoring style is empathetic but direct, structured, and action-oriented. I'll help you turn vague goals into concrete next steps, focus on the highest-leverage changes, and build a realistic plan for moving forward.
If you're ready to sharpen your story, strengthen your materials, and take the next step with more confidence, let's connect and map out your path.
You tell Suri your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Suri 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.
