Custom System Design Rigorous - 60 minute

I've been mentoring here since 2019. 120+ mentees, 86 reviews, and a few who've
become close friends I still talk to every week.

**Who I work with**

- Engineers and analysts moving into ML/AI roles
- Consultancies or Businesses who need automation help or coaching.
- MS/PhD applicants who need a real research project, not another tutorial
- People building with LLMs and agents who are stuck past the demo stage
- Career switchers who need a plan, not motivation

**What I actually do**

First month we find the gap between where you are and the thing you want, then
pick one project that proves you can close it. After that it's weekly
unblocking: code reviews, paper reviews, research direction, interview prep,
and the uncomfortable questions you've been avoiding.

I don't run a curriculum. I've trained people in data science, ML, research
methods, and job search, and the thing that works is building something real
and getting torn apart on it every week.

**How I work**

I pick who I work with. 2 mentees at a time, so you're never one of thirty.
I'll tell you when your plan is bad. I expect work between calls. If you want
someone to nod along, I'm the wrong mentor.

This goes both ways for me. I learn something from almost every person I take
on, which is the only reason I'm still doing this after seven years.

**Scheduling**

I'm based in USA and run calls on my calendar schedule which will be shared once you signup. That works well for Europe, the UK, and US mornings. Book the free intro call and we'll find out
in 15 minutes whether this is a fit.
