Bio

Machine Learning, Data Science, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) are incredibly useful skills. With them I have improved Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant; automated the learning of words' internal structure; and bootstrapped automatic speech recognition systems in multiple languages. Let me help you master machine learning so that you too can accomplish amazing things.

Machine Learning, Data Science, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) are incredibly useful skills. With them I have improved Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant; automated the learning of words' internal structure; and bootstrapped automatic speech recognition systems in multiple languages. Let me help you master machine learning so that you too can accomplish amazing things.

During my 2000+ hours of tutoring I have:

- Helped students successfully complete machine learning and data science courses;
- Coached professionals through a career change from software engineer to machine learning engineer; and
- Taught a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence and computer science.

I have 10 years of industry experience working as a Machine Learning Scientist specializing in Natural Language Processing and Speech Recognition. Five of those years I worked at Amazon improving the Alexa personal assistant. During the 2000’s I was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University and a postdoc at Oregon Health & Science University working in Natural Language Processing. I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science, with minors in Math and Physics, from Brigham Young University in 2000.

While the technical aspects of the algorithms I developed in academia and industry are interesting, I enjoy teaching these skills to others at least as much as practicing them myself. Whether you need to internalize the fundamentals of machine learning, improve your understanding of computer science for a class at school, or prepare for an industry interview, please consider me as your tutor and coach!

Easy going and very knowledgeable

Christian is calm, thorough and very knowledgeable. It's very easy to bombard him with questions, he explains everything methodically, giving you the big picture. Exactly what I need as I'm embarking on a journey to transition my career into data science.

A very knowledgeable and amazing tutor.

I'm very lucky to have had Christian as my tutor last week. He knew exactly what he was doing, he was very confident and quick with helping me create a sentiment classification model using random forest on a very large dataset. It was up and running within in the hour and then went the extra distance to make sure fine tuning the parameters were good to go. I hope to connect with Christian again soon on future projects. He is my go-to for training/testing models and machine learning!

Broad and deep research knowledge uncovering new opportunities

I had some specific questions into areas of research that are probably not on the radar screen of many researchers, but Christian is able to give me the direction that i needed. I am happy with the depth of his answers, ability to summarize difficult/broad topics, and his exceptional listening skills.

Saved my life and sanity

Christian is hands down amazing. I had 2 lessons with Christian-- both times he saved my life. During the first lesson we covered a specific task that I had no idea how to finish. He helped me finish it, giving an in-depth explanation of everything along the way, and we still had time to cover more material. The second time was more of a review session. During that, he helped cover new topics (that were never introduced in lecture) and check my understanding of the other topics. I can't say enough good things about Christian. I absolutely recommend him.

Knowledgeable and patient

Christian is one of the best tutors I have ever worked with and he is incredibly helpful, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to find and make the time to help me. I would recommend him to any other students looking for a tutor in computer science.

Fantastic Educator

I was surprised by how quickly Christian was able to assess my skill level and deliver a lesson that was perfect for me. An hour lesson with Christian was worth more than ten hours of trying to study on my own.

Really knowledgeable, experience definitely shines through

We went over some NLP (transformers, GRU's) research papers I was going to get quizzed on for an interview. Christian told me what to look out for when reading these papers, and helped me dissect them to understand the important details. Would definitely go to Christian again for any future tutoring needs!

Helpful and efficient

Effective, laid back, informative, patient. Christian helped me with nlp sentiment analysis project. Recommended resources for further studies. Can’t recommend him enough.

Great Unity software teacher

My son wanted someone to teach him Unity software. With just 2 sessions he is working on projects. We will continue taking more sessions

Knowledgeable and kind tutor

Christian is very patient and was willing to work with me on a highly difficult Machine Learning problem set. I liked that he acknowledged when there were certain concepts that were challenging but I kind of wish since I sent the problems in advance that he would have told me which problems he didn’t understand as well. I do appreciate the time and him making sense of what he could quickly.
