Amit is an exceptional AI expert and outstanding mentor. I worked with him on a language-model product, and his guidance shaped the direction of the project. He combines deep technical expertise with strong product design insight, helping me think more clearly and identify stronger directions. He was patient, communicated complex ideas clearly, and helped me make better decisions with confidence.

Amit was my mentor and teacher during my MBA process. I felt like I was decent with AI at the time- but Amit completely transformed how I think about using AI. He explains complex concepts in an easy to understand manner. He is creative in his thinking with practical outcomes. He was also able to help me one on one which was very productive. Highly recommend working with him and just all around great human!

I had the wonderful opportunity to benefit from Amit's mentorship at the Skandalaris Center for Entrepreneurship at WashU. Speaking with him was mind-blowing and deeply inspiring, and it gave me new insights while opening fresh and original perspectives for my project. Amit shared many great ideas, as well as a full range of practical advice (spanning from customer discovery, problem solving, to AI...) and actionable tips on how to implement them effectively. He was extremely generous with his time, fully committed, and truly dedicated to his mission as both a mentor and a role model.
