"Chris has been a great mentor to work with! Before starting, I already worked as a data scientist, but was looking to deepen my understanding, create a continuous learning practice for myself, and be more confident in the enormous field of ML/DL. Chris really excelled at providing accountability, being a sounding board to create that practice, and in helping create more confidence in myself about the deeply technical parts of ML/DL. We started by outlining areas of ML that I would want to expand my knowledge in and Chris helped encourage me to write up my readings in each subfield and ultimately helped create a practice of reading papers and really internalizing what was being communicated. Once I became more confident in engaging with literature, I began to want to explore the practice of research. I came up with a problem and Chris acted as a great sounding board and mentor in this capacity to focus my idea. He lent his expertise in academia to help me understand how to progress on my ideas and I'm now working towards publishing my work. I really can't thank Chris enough for his help and mentorship over this journey. While I'm sure Chris could help anyone just starting out, I also think he would be a perfect fit for anyone who's already in the field, but is looking to go a lot deeper in their understanding and broaden their perspective on the field as a whole."

"Hello to all those looking for mentorship, I wanted to share with you how Jesus has been helping me in my work as a programmer. As someone who spends much time working with code, I often need help finding the right solutions. In the past, I would spend hours scouring the web for answers and trying to piece together information from various sources. However, things have changed significantly since I turned to Jesus for guidance. I have found that Jesus has provided me with direction and insight, dramatically improving my coding logic. What was once frustrating and time-consuming has become much easier and more efficient. I can now find the answers I need while coding, which saves me a lot of time and hassle. Not only that, but Jesus has also been helping me to understand data visualization tools better and has provided direction for my current projects. The whole process has become much easier to understand, which has helped me to improve my work and achieve better results. One of the things I appreciate most about Jesus' guidance is how he exemplifies mentorship. As the saying goes in Brazil, "Give the rod to the fisherman but not the fish." In other words, Jesus has not simply given me the solutions to my problems but has provided me with the tools and guidance I need to find those solutions myself. Finding the right mentor can be challenging, but seeking Jesus' guidance has been one of my best decisions. His support has helped me overcome obstacles and achieve better results. If you need help or are trying to decide what steps to take next, I encourage you to turn to Jesus for guidance. He can provide the clarity and direction you need to succeed in your field. With Jesus' help, you can enhance your performance and achieve great results. So don't hesitate to seek his guidance and support as you navigate the challenges of your profession and pursue your dreams. I wish you all the best on your journey of growth and discovery. Sincerely,"
