🎯 Purpose

Welcome to my Scattered Notes — a personal collection of unorganized notes that would help others prepare fast in ample time.

🧠 Elevator Pitch (WIP)

⏱️ 30-Second Version

Inspired from:

As you begin drafting your elevator pitch, here are a few things to focus on:

1. Your background; including the technical aspects of your background where applicable

2. Your transition into your field of study; highlighting why you love it

3. What value you bring

4. What you're building

If you're looking for inspiration, here are a few questions to ask yourself:

• What am I good at?

• What problems have I solved?

• Why do I want to be a [developer/data scientist, etc.]?

• What was my first exposure to [code/big data, etc.]?

• What am I passionate about?

• What was my ‘AHA’ moment to pivot into my new field of study?

First Draft

I am a Machine Learning Engineer. I recently finished my MS in AI and robotics at ASU and want to combine my years of experience in Software engineering and AI/ML. Right now, I am working on finishing small side projects using machine learning and deep learning to deploy in cloud environments and build an end-to-end pipeline. I believe that my experience in vision and language models would be an add-on advantage for my next role.

Second Draft

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with a recent MS in AI and Robotics from ASU. I aim to leverage my extensive background in Software Engineering alongside my expertise in AI/ML. Currently, I’m focusing on completing side projects that involve deploying machine learning and deep learning models in cloud environments and developing end-to-end pipelines. My experience with vision and language models is a unique strength I look forward to bringing to my next role.

📎 Final Thought

This isn’t a perfect resource. It’s not a tutorial series or a course. It’s just a reflection of the journey, with all its highs, errors, and iterations.

If you stumble on this, I hope it helps you too. If not, it’ll help me one day when I forget what a decorator does in Python... again.
