About Yohannes
I work as a machine learning engineer and have spent a lot of my spare time reviewing portfolios and running mock interviews for people trying to get into ML, data and AI product roles. I have sat on both sides of the interview table, so I know what interviewers listen for and how often strong people undersell themselves. I teach portfolio building, interview preparation, open source contribution and the move from software engineering into ML. I give honest feedback, I use realistic practice questions, and I never pretend there is a shortcut or a promised outcome.

What students said about Yohannes's tutors.
- Mariana C.Sample
My p value and confidence interval explanations are finally correct and simple. The metric drop framework came up almost word for word in an interview.
- Nadia B.Sample
Replaced my tutorial projects with one on local air quality data. Interviewers asked about it in every conversation. Blunt feedback, but exactly what I needed.
- Hana Y.Sample
Presenting with the recommendation first changed how my take home landed. Feedback was honest and useful.
- Deepak R.Sample
Strong on experiments and statistics. SQL practice was good, though I wanted more hard window function problems.
- Gabriel M.Sample
Lead with findings, baseline first, respect the time box. My next take home took four hours and got me to the final round.
- Felix G.Sample
Adding an evaluation set to my RAG project was the turning point. Interviewers asked more about my eval than the app itself.
