1. Book the free call
Fifteen minutes, no commitment. Grab a slot on the calendar.
2. Show up with your project
We meet on Google Meet and talk through where you are, what you want to build, and what would actually help.
3. Leave with a plan
You get concrete next steps either way. If coaching fits, we scope the sessions around your goals from there.
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 question, a real project, a tool you wish existed, a workflow that's eating your time, or a contract or platform you want to understand. The more specific, the more you get out of the session.
Where do sessions happen?
Google Meet. You book a time on Calendly 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.
What does coaching cost?
It depends on what you need: a single working session, a project arc, or ongoing support. We scope it together on the free call, so you only ever pay for a plan built around you.
