I’m an architect at Google focusing on Machine learning and Cloud native technologies. Prior to Google, I have worked at Microsoft in similar domains. I have a PhD in machine learning from KTH. Post-PhD I have worked solely in industry (17+ years) in companies like Microsoft, Pixalate, IBM, Klarna, KTH, EPFL, and Ericsson.
One of my key goal here would be that at the end of project engagement, you shall become a desirable candidate in industry. Some of my previous mentees/students are now working in FAANG. They way I try to achieve this goals is by a). tailoring project and methodology; inline with industry, b). targeted learning and c). more importantly periodic mock interviews and problem solving.
In addition; a goal of mine is to make mentees work industry relevant projects; i.e. projects/problem-statements are from industry and you will have a chance to present your work/results directly with concerned.
