Introductory Call with Chris

I went to Chris to help me land a job as a Machine Learning (Ops) Engineer. I had experience building and validating models as a data scientist but needed help breaking into Machine Learning where I would need knowledge of model deployment, monitoring and the cloud infrastructure that comes with that. My main goal was to formulate a project together with the mentor to get me learning with a real use case, while simultaneously boosting my CV, and then help me formulate the CV and cover letter and prepare for job interviews. Chris really surprised me with his knowledge. He didn't just listen to my challenges, he was also able to identify blind spots, like System Design, where I needed to learn more. He gave me feedback to think more clearly about why I would include a certain MLOps tool in a project plan. He helped me write my CV to be more impactful. Finally, he has a wealth of contacts that he referred me to, e.g. for practicing job interviews. Loved the experience!

Chris is a great mentor with a wealth of knowledge in his subject. He is willing to provide useful advice for how you can progress in your career path and is able to point you in the direction of useful resources. I would recommend Chris to anyone just starting a career in software engineering and in need of some guidance.

Great mentor. Knows how to teach. I enjoyed a lot the async Slack format. Seems to work for Chris and me very well.

It was a fantastic experience. My mentor provided invaluable guidance and helped me navigate through many challenges.
