Patricia offers a look into how senior engineers actually plan and execute work. I used this mentorship to learn the architecture of a complex Frontend/AI project. She guided me through strategies and project frameworks, in creating "Working Backwards" documents, which really helped me to clarify the system design and metrics. She is highly knowledgeable and helpful, addressing my questions about industry-level projects. We also covered interview preparation and career strategies for my profile. I feel more prepared and confident in shipping my project and tackling future technical interviews. For me, this mentorship has proved to be a practical resource for learning how to manage projects and prepare for the next stage of my career. Highly recommend.

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Rakesh, a software engineer at Electronic Arts. Patricia and I worked together at AWS when I joined as an L4 engineer, so naturally when she started mentoring, I reached out. For the first few months, we met one on one every week. She helped me get up to speed on AI engineering concepts like skills sub agents, and I took what I learned and built comprehensive tools for my team that they still use today. She also helped me as I stepped into a senior role at a new job, especially with how to establish myself as a leader in the first few weeks. What stands out with Patricia is her industry experience and practical advice and how she keeps up with the field. That's moving at an incredible pace and she's incredibly patient. And if you're an engineer moving into an AI space or stepping into leadership roles, I highly recommend working with her. Thank you Patricia for everything.

Video transcript: Hello everyone. I'm Paolo. I'm from Italy. I was a PhD student in computational linguistics and I work in the field of artificial intelligence. Three months ago, I started looking for a mentor because I was in a difficult situation. After completing my PhD and having a short experience in industry, I felt lost in the job process, which, as you know, is very challenging today. So I really needed some guidance. So I started having weekly meetings with Patricia and they turned out to be extremely useful. First of all, she is very kind and attentive and she makes you feel at ease in every session. Each time we met, she helped me set clear goals to work on before the next session. She helped me understand what my skills were and how to present them effectively in today's job market. She is very knowledgeable in this area as she has been working in big tech for many years now. She recommended me a strategy to increase my chances of success, as well as an application strategy to maximize the likelihood of being contacted by recruiters. This included, for example, accompanying code applications with direct messages to recruiters and hiring managers, leveraging referrals, and being active on LinkedIn. More importantly, she didn't just give me tips on how and where to apply. She also worked with me on a personal level, helping me build a clear vision of who I wanted to become in a few years and what my core values are. And this helped me a lot when building my profile and during interviews. Working on these aspects with Patricia allowed me to improve my presence on the job market and approach it with much more confidence. This also led to great results. The number of interviews increased and I was able to get an offer from Amazon in the end. That's why I am, and I will be extremely grateful to Patricia for her help and I would recommend her to everyone.
