"At the end of last year, I sought out Tim to help me land a job as a Machine Learning Engineer. I had a background in data science but needed more experience on cloud and model deployment. He helped me with many things: - We settled on a project together to implement a tool based on LLMs and deploy the API on AWS EKS with Terraform and Kubernetes, and gave me weekly feedback on the progress and ideas for developing it further. - He recommended a certification as AWS Solution Architect Associate which I completed and helped land me the job. - He helped me craft my resume and make it much more relevant for recruiters. - He prepared me for interviews by doing mock interviews with me, both on the HR-type of questions "Describe a time where you had to learn something new in order to solve a problem", and for the technical round "Describe how you would implement a recommender system". He came prepared with challenging questions and really helped me step up my game in the interviews. I especially enjoy how hands-on he is: he is available for weekly meetings, and usually responds to any questions within a day. All-in-all, he is very knowledgeable especially when it comes to system design (Kubernetes, Database design, event-driven architectures, model deployment in the cloud). He made the path to landing my job much smoother, and I learned a ton from him. Highly recommended!"

"Working with Elias has been a transformational experience. I came to him as someone with little to no knowledge of programming or software engineering experience. From our first engagement (before registering with mentorcruise) to now - Elias has provided me professional guidance in how best to position myself for a career change into software engineering and technical guidance on specific implementation details of different applications I'm working on. I can confidently say that I would not be on this path if I had not approached Elias about my situation. He is empathetic, knowledgeable, and pragmatic. He asks surgically precise questions that can cut right through all of the emotional noise and stress that comes with investing in a career change, bringing a level of clear thinking that has been so critical in shoring up my own sense of decisiveness and confidence. I think anyone looking to grow as a software engineer or looking to become one as I am stands to learn a lot from Elias - if not from his robust technical expertise then at least by adopting his way of thinking.

"When I reached out to Myke, I was in the middle of a big pivot—expanding my work into a more scalable format through webinars and group offerings. I had strong content but needed support translating it into an engaging, streamlined experience that would resonate with my audience. I was also feeling overwhelmed by the tech side of things and didn’t want to spend weeks going down YouTube rabbit holes trying to piece everything together. Working with Myke was such a relief. He came in with clarity, structure, authenticity, and real experience. Together, we mapped out a webinar structure that felt both strategic and authentic to my voice. He helped me clarify the flow, simplify the decision points, and make it emotionally resonant. What I especially appreciated was his guidance on tech tools—he didn’t just recommend platforms, he explained why they worked and how to integrate them seamlessly. I left our sessions feeling empowered, not overwhelmed. Since implementing what we worked on, I’ve felt more confident presenting my offers and delivering value in a format that feels spacious rather than stressful. The mentorship gave me practical tools, but more importantly, it gave me momentum. I walked away with clarity, structure, and systems—and that ripple effect has carried into how I approach everything else in my business. If you're looking for someone who blends strategy with heart and can make the tech side actually feel fun, Myke is the real deal."

"Larry has been my mentor for over a decade, long before he began officially mentoring others. I had the pleasure of working with Larry for nearly three years in my past and I have to say that writing a summary of everything I loved about my experience is difficult - there are far too many! But I'll try to share a few with you: 1) I think his professional background in technology & an industry experience are a rare combination that makes him an exceptional mentor. He is very good at asking the right questions to get to the bottom of my issues and then articulating his recommendations in simple and clear language. 2) He connects with you on a personal level, and he shares many of his own experiences on how he would have overcome those challenges, as well as the lessons learned from his past that can help us overcome those instances. He is very well composed and has helped many people overcome many stressful situations in their professional lives by finding the right work-life balance. The one thing I admire most about him is that he is a people person, and the way he communicates and presents information is incredible, which I have always admired about him. 3) He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and extremely organized! If you ask him a question, he'll almost certainly have a positive and constructive recommendation for you based on some of the great references that you can take away with you. I value his candid feedback on my work and how I work. Furthermore, his warm and kind personality makes learning from feedback enjoyable. 4) He is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to educate and inspire, assisting me not only in finding answers to questions but also in better understanding the problem. I wholeheartedly endorse his services and will continue to be his mentee !"
