Theory Meets Practice
After 15+ years spanning academia and industry — from publishing in The Lancet and Radiology to delivering $50M+ in EBIT impact for Fortune 500 companies — I've learned that the best teaching connects theory to real problems.
Every concept I teach comes with context: why it matters, where it's used in practice, and what the common pitfalls are. I don't just explain algorithms — I show you how they behave on real data, how to debug them when they fail, and how to present results to stakeholders who don't speak "data science."
My goal is not to create dependency but to build your confidence and independence. After our sessions, you should be able to tackle similar problems on your own, ask better questions, and know where to look when you're stuck.
