You will get Career Coaching & Interview Prep - The Catalyst Package
Project details
Career coaching & interview prep for professionals breaking into AI, data science, and tech leadership. Your coach isn't a career counselor reading from a playbook — he's a Yale Physics grad who traded equity derivatives at Tiger Global and Morgan Stanley, built AI systems, and is CEO of a 15-person AI engineering firm.
Starter ($300, 1 session) for a focused strategy hit on your most pressing challenge.
Standard ($1,000, 4 sessions) for a full engagement covering career strategy, resume/LinkedIn optimization, mock interviews, and offer negotiation.
Advanced ($2,500, 8 sessions + async support) for deep career transformation with between-session access for real-time feedback on applications and negotiations as they happen.
Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute scoping call — no commitment, just an honest conversation about your goals and fit. Sessions are tailored to you, not a rigid curriculum. Whether you're pivoting from finance to tech, preparing for a senior data science interview loop, or stepping into your first leadership role, you get guidance from someone who's personally made these transitions. Nearly 20 years of mentoring experience. No generic advice.

About Clarence
AI/ML Engineering | Career Coach/Educator | Data Science | Tutor
Queens County, United States - 8:51 am local time
Today, I’m the CEO of AcceLLM, where I lead a team of 15 senior AI engineers building production-grade AI systems for companies that want measurable business outcomes — not another strategy PDF. Our work spans LLM-powered automation, multi-agent RAG systems, fine-tuning pipelines, and AI infrastructure designed to scale. I focus on bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical business execution, ensuring teams can move from experimentation to measurable ROI.
I also run Clarence Stephen Solutions, coaching professionals through career transitions into AI, data science, and quantitative fields. Mentorship is not a side note in my career — it’s part of the operating system that drives how I lead teams, how I structure learning, and how I deliver value to clients.
The path here has been diverse but connected. I started on the equity derivatives desk at Morgan Stanley, then traded FX and equity derivatives strategies at Tiger Global, before returning to Morgan Stanley to lead client analytics for fixed income quant strategy. From there, I transitioned into senior data science and AI roles across e-commerce, retail, and pet tech, including building Readify, a generative AI ed-tech startup inspired by my daughters’ love of reading. Across all these roles, the constant has been the same instinct: find the signal in the noise, build something that works, and make it understandable and actionable for both technical and non-technical audiences.
In AI, this translates to designing autonomous agent workflows, RAG pipelines, and ML-powered decision systems that handle complex business problems while remaining reliable, interpretable, and scalable. I’ve worked with LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, and LoRA fine-tuning, integrating LLMs with internal and external systems, implementing secure access, and designing systems that allow humans and AI to collaborate seamlessly.
Teaching Is How I Lead
Mentoring and teaching for over 20 years isn’t a footnote — it’s central to how I operate. I tutor professionals and students 1-on-1 in Python, SQL, machine learning, statistics, deep learning, data engineering, and AI fundamentals. I also cover the quantitative and finance foundations underpinning data science — probability, linear algebra, calculus, derivatives pricing, risk management, and trading strategies. Whether preparing for licensing exams like the Series 7 or standardized tests like the SAT, my approach is the same: teach deeply, contextualize practically, and make the material click.
Every session is customized. No canned curriculum. I meet learners where they are: career switchers building their first ML model, graduate students diving into NLP theory, or finance professionals mastering Python and AI for competitive advantage. My dual experience at the intersection of AI and finance ensures examples are real, context is practical, and the learning sticks.
Beyond work, my curiosity is full stack: Yale Physics, Python, SQL, GenAI, NLP, ML, 40+ countries, 5 languages, Olympic lifting, hockey, snowboarding, rollerblading, reading, and guitar. Just like my professional work, my personal pursuits are wide-ranging, rigorous, and driven by curiosity.
