Extremely helpful and explained his process all the way through. I was having some ML issues and we found the error, reworked my code and ended up having significantly higher image processing accuracy scores.

Akila is awesome!! he has very well knowledge and experience on machine learning and data science. He's a very painted instructor, he takes his time and make sure you absorb the material. This is very useful because he makes the work and learning process easier than what it was for people who had to learn the subject the hard way.
