About this session

In this session, we will discuss your project, analyse the current challenges, and make a strategy for moving forward. I can also answer any questions you may have, either general (e.g., regarding your career plans), or specific (e.g., technical challenges). You're welcome to share your screen and show me your work.

Your mentor

Welcome to my mentoring page! My name is Nikola and I am an experienced researcher/engineer in Machine Learning / LLMs based in Switzerland. I have a PhD in NLP from ETH Zurich (top 10 CS school) and over 9 years research and development experience in deep learning and AI.

I have mentored over 60 people in 1000+ sessions: professionals working at top companies (Google, Meta, Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, American Express, Bloomberg, Rakuten, Eastdil Secured, etc.), startup founders, and researchers from top universities. Many of my mentees have made a career transition to AI, have landed jobs in big tech, or have started companies.

As a mentor, I specialise two areas:
- Help you to land your dream job in AI / Data Science / Machine Leaning. I will guide and support you to become an expert in the field. We will work on state-of-the-art projects that enhance your skills and AI portfolio, tweak your CV and job application strategy, and prepare for interviews. I will support you in every step of the way, from application, to salary negotiation.
- Provide state-of-the-art technical advice to people working on an AI project. I have helped founders and managers to tweak their AI product strategy, researchers to publish papers at top-tier conferences, as well as people who seek general advice and guidance, either related to their job, or to a hobby project. I can clarify technical concepts, and even help with code debugging in the video calls.

If you're interested in working with me, please check out my website at http://www.nikolov.ch/ for more information and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals in NLP and AI!

My technical skills:
Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LLMs (Llama, Mistral, GPT, agents, prompt engineering, etc.), encoder-decoder as well as encoder-only models (BERT, T5, BART, etc.) Embeddings, NN search, MLOps (REST APIs, Docker, Kubernetes, Flask, Azure).

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a session?

A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 45 min of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from Nikola's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.

How does the session take place?

Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 24 hours before the session. Message your mentor and find a new time that works for both of you.

What if my mentor doesn't show up?

You're protected. If a mentor is a no-show, it takes one click to cancel and get your money back, no questions asked.

How do refunds work?

You pay securely by card at checkout. If the session can't go ahead, you can cancel and get your money back instantly from your dashboard.
