Jonathan Barrios is a jazz musician, multi-instrumentalist, and composer who also builds AI systems and teaches AI/ML engineering for a living, with 10+ years teaching data science, machine learning, and full-stack development at Treehouse, Thinkful/Chegg, and CBT Nuggets. That combination is rarer than it should be, and it's exactly what you get in a session: someone who lives on both sides of the line.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. We start wherever you are. If you can open a browser, you can run the Colab notebooks we work in. If you already code, we go deeper, faster.
What should I prepare?
Bring a real question or project: a tool you wish existed, a workflow that eats your time, or a contract or platform you want to understand. The more specific, the more you get out of the hour.
Where do sessions happen?
Google Meet. You book a time on Calendly, payment is handled securely through PayPal when you book, and the meeting link arrives with your confirmation.
Can I reschedule?
Yes, through the link in your confirmation email, up to 24 hours before your session.
Not sure which option fits?
Book the free discovery call. Twenty minutes is enough to figure out where you are and what would actually help.
