Your mentor

Hi! I'm a machine learning engineer at big tech, AI/ML researcher, author, educator and studied at MIT for my PhD in computer science and AI. I'm passionate about helping others achieve their professional and career goals. My expertise spans machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, generative AI, LLMs, and agentic AI, with a strong focus on hands-on implementation and understanding the ideas behind the technology. I’ve authored "ML Algorithms in Depth" and enjoy breaking down research papers, algorithms, and modern AI systems into clear, actionable insights. As a mentor, I focus on helping you build strong technical foundations, develop real-world projects, navigate the ML/AI career landscape, prepare for technical interviews, and create a sustainable learning path toward your goals. I’m also open to mentoring people outside of technology who are looking for guidance on personal growth, finding direction, building meaningful goals, and navigating life’s challenges. My book "Life Guide Now" explores many of these ideas, with a focus on setting goals, finding what truly matters, and taking purposeful action.

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 1 hour of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from Vadim'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?
