Break Into AI Careers

I help aspiring professionals and career switchers build practical, job-ready skills in AI automation and workflow systems. With hands-on experience using tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, Airtable and ChatGPT, I guide clients in turning technical knowledge into real-world projects and paid opportunities. Through mentoring, system design, and real implementation work, I’ve supported learners in developing AI agents, automated workflows, and business-ready solutions that strengthen their portfolios and confidence. My coaching focuses on clear learning paths, hands-on practice, and career strategies that help clients move from learning to earning in the AI space.

Started as a freelancer in 2011 with no institutional backing and built into enterprise AI delivery across three continents. Computer science degree, Udacity Machine Learning Engineer nanodegree, and four official AI platform ambassadorships across n8n, Mastra, v0, and Clay. Practitioners in Frankfurt, Munich, and across Germany have been mentored and taught through community events and online. The path into AI is one walked from experience, not theory, and that is the only version worth teaching. Great for: Career switchers, junior engineers, non-technical professionals, and recent graduates wanting to enter AI

I am the creator of the AIgogy Framework™—a structured approach to working with AI for more reliable outcomes. You can learn more in the attached YouTube video and on my channel. I currently serve as an advisor to the Women in Leadership program, focusing on AI-driven engagement. With a Master of Technology from the University of Calcutta and experience across AI training, evaluation, and education, my work centers on helping people use AI more effectively—and, for many, transition into AI-related roles. I have worked as an AI Trainer at Meridial and as an Instructor at Maven, where I design and teach practical approaches to working with AI systems. Alongside this, I have extensive experience in career coaching, including recognition for high performance at Wizco. Earlier in my career, I received a performance award for adopting AI in marketing at a startup—well before it became mainstream. I am also a top 5% LinkedIn member and have been invited multiple times by LinkedIn editors to share perspectives on AI skills and contribute to collaborative articles. As a Computer Science Tutor at Empowerly, I’ve developed personalized learning approaches to help students build both confidence and capability. If you're looking to build practical AI skills or navigate the AI job market with more clarity, I can help you structure that journey.

I've spent 6+ years working across every layer of the AI stack, from the ground up. I started in biomedical research and clinical settings at Columbia University Medical Center and UCSD Health, then made a deliberate pivot into AI without a traditional technical background or a roadmap. People took chances on me along the way, and those bets changed everything. Since then I've built annotation operations from scratch at medical imaging AI startups (Enlitic, Iterative Health), led LLM evaluation programs at Amazon AWS across Bedrock and four product lines, and now serve as Group Manager of Delivery Operations at Snorkel AI, a Stanford AI Lab spinout building the data infrastructure behind frontier models. I've hired for AI roles, built the teams doing the work, and operated inside the organizations setting the bar. I also build production AI systems independently, which keeps my hands on the tools and my instincts sharp in ways that a management role alone doesn't. If you're trying to break into AI from a non-traditional background, I know that path from the inside.

Breaking into AI right now can feel incredibly opaque, and most of the advice out there is either too generic or disconnected from how teams are actually hiring. I help operators cut through that noise and make the shift into AI in a way that’s strategic, credible, and grounded in reality. I work at the intersection of product and strategy, helping teams transform their operations to be AI-native. That means I’m not looking at this from the outside: I’m in the room, seeing what skills actually matter, how roles are evolving, and what makes someone stand out (or get overlooked). I understand how to translate existing experience into something that resonates in an AI context -- especially for operators who don’t come from traditional technical backgrounds. If you’re trying to move from “AI-curious” to actually positioned for real opportunities, I’ll help you get clear on your angle, focus on what moves the needle, and build a story that hiring teams believe. No fluff, no over-complication -- just a smart, practical path forward.

Transitioning into AI/ML isn’t about starting from scratch—it’s about leveraging the unique domain context you already possess. In a market where anyone can prompt a baseline model, candidates who stand out ground AI capabilities in specialized, real-world experience. My coaching operationalizes this by pairing your existing domain depth with high-demand AI competencies. Together, we map your target trajectory, pressure-test your narrative, master real-world system design loops (including Agentic workflows and LLMOps), and align your prep with rigorous, top-tier technical evaluation standards. This approach is backed by deep industry experience as an enterprise AI/ML lead at Google Cloud, with prior technical leadership at AWS and Deloitte. Across these roles, I have conducted 150+ Data Science and technical interviews, and guided 25+ colleagues through successful promotions.

I help professionals break into AI careers across functions, backgrounds, and levels of experience. My background spans technology, strategy, product, and consulting, including roles at Google, Adobe, and Deloitte. At Google, I work in strategy and executive-facing roles; previously, I worked as a Product Manager at Adobe and in consulting at Deloitte. I also hold an MBA from Northwestern Kellogg. Whether you're pursuing opportunities in product, strategy, operations, sales, marketing, partnerships, finance, consulting, program management, technical roles, or another part of the AI ecosystem, I can help you navigate the transition and position yourself competitively. We can work together on identifying the right opportunities, translating your existing experience into a compelling AI career story, strengthening your resume and LinkedIn, developing your networking strategy, and preparing for interviews.

I specialize in helping smart generalists become the AI expert in their organization — without needing to become a machine learning engineer. Over the past year, I’ve helped professionals and operators learn how to strategically integrate AI into their work and position themselves as the “resident AI expert” within their teams and organizations. Rather than focusing purely on technical skills, my coaching focuses on the practical challenge most professionals face: how to identify meaningful AI opportunities, build real-world projects, and demonstrate AI-driven impact in their current role or industry. My background combines over a decade of mentoring high-performing students and professionals with hands-on experimentation building AI-assisted systems for coaching, operations, and knowledge management. Through that work, I’ve developed practical frameworks for learning AI quickly, identifying high-leverage use cases, and translating AI tools into tangible business outcomes. I work with professionals, operators, and independent consultants who want to move beyond simply “learning AI tools” and instead develop the strategic mindset, project portfolio, and credibility needed to transition into AI-focused roles or become the go-to AI resource within their organization or business. I commonly work with: - Professionals transitioning into AI-focused roles - Consultants and operators integrating AI into their work - Founders building AI-enabled workflows for their businesses

With a robust background in career development and talent management, I am passionate about helping individuals break into AI careers.

My experience at Boston Consulting Group and Accenture has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex career landscapes and provide actionable insights. Whether you're looking to refine your resume, ace interviews, or strategically position yourself in the AI industry, I'm here to help. Let's connect and chart your path to a successful AI career!
