I also use web tools, including NextJS, NodeJS, React, Angular, Mongo, Django, Flask, frontend, backend, fullstack, and JavaScript.

I have worked over 13 years as a Python developer and AI researcher at Startups and at UC Berkeley as a PhD student, and have developed Chatbots, LLMs, RAG, and Data Science / AI workflows for Startups.

I have taught students in popular courses: Cal data8, c88c, math53, Stanford CS221, CS225, GA Tech CS 7641, Harvard CS50, and more!

What sets my tutoring apart is my down-to-earth teaching style that enhances accessibility, whether just starting out, career changing, or creating an MVP for a Startup.

Join me on a journey where theory meets application. We’ll build a robust foundation in AI and Python that shows the “how” and the “why” behind cutting-edge technology. Let’s transform challenges into opportunities and set you up for success in both academic research and the dynamic world of business innovation.

Amazing teacher!

Oliver is an amazing teacher in Python, Data Science, and Machine Learning. His knowledge and expertise as a tutor is excellent. He is also very patient and understanding. Going to miss him when my class is over.

Wow! great TEACHER!

What a great TEACHER! Many people know there stuff, but they can't communicate it to others. I really rely on visual learning and he had tons of visuals that he had made over time. They were perfect tools to get concept across. Oliver can listen and answer any questions, or he can quickly give an organized lesson of where one might be lacking in knowledge. He is professional but laid back, so it feels really safe to ask questions without feeling judged. I cannot recommend him more!

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful tutoring

Oliver is a fantastic tutor. He was able to very quickly understand the work I needed help with and what I was struggling with. His help was invaluable to me, both in terms of graded coursework, and my learning of the topics. I've had experience with several professors in these subjects, but Oliver was most helpful for my learning. Additionally, he was flexible with scheduling and availability. I would highly recommend Oliver.

Exceptional Tutor

Oliver has been an incredible tutor! He walked me through the basics of Python and Ansible with patience and clarity. He takes his time to make sure I truly understand, breaking down complex topics into simple, manageable pieces. He's not only knowledgeable but also very personable, which makes each session comfortable and engaging. Oliver exceeded my expectations in every way. I’ve learned a lot more than I thought I could in a short period of time. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of coding or automation!

Outstanding Tutor

I met with Oliver for one hour and he helped me finish a project that I was working on. He was outstanding with his explanations and timelines. I wholeheartedly recommend Oliver and, he honestly knows what he is doing.

Rajin, 1 lesson with Oliver

Excellent Machine Learning Tutor

This is the second semester I've done tutoring with Oliver for Machine Learning. I learn and retain information much better when I'm able to talk things through with somebody who really has a good understanding of the subject matter. Oliver's experience and familiarity with Machine Learning has helped me address gaps in my understanding. He's been able to show me examples of the concepts we've discussed in class. He's been able to introduce new concepts that are relevant to what we're discussing in class, and that's given me an even fuller understanding of those concepts. I always end a session feeling more prepared for that week's work. I'm getting a lot more out of my courses than I would have otherwise.
