# Mentoring, Consulting & Coaching

I mentor engineers and consult for teams building computer vision and edge AI systems that have to survive production — from camera calibration and image processing to CUDA kernels, model optimization and on-device LLMs.

**12+ years** in the field · **21 publications** · **3 patents**.

## What I do

- **One-on-one mentoring & tutoring** — your pace, your code, your problem, from CV fundamentals to edge deployment
- **Group workshops** — one topic worked through together, with hands-on exercises
- **Project-based coaching** — architecture, milestones and debugging while you build
- **Code review** — a read of your implementation, with concrete suggestions
- **Career guidance** — mentorship for computer vision careers and research
- **Consulting & engineering** — when the system has to ship: real-time vision, GPU acceleration, model optimization, on-device LLMs

## The resources

- **[10 Years of CV Debugging Lessons](/farshid/expert-coaching-resources/10-years.md)** — lessons learned from a decade of debugging computer vision systems in production.
- **[Tips and tricks to run a local model for Hermes Agent on your laptop](/farshid/expert-coaching-resources/localAI.md)** — budgeting a 32k context between instructions, references and the answer, and a yes/no filter that picks the chunks before the main model sees them.
- **[CV Coaching & Teaching Roadmap](/farshid/content/note-coaching-roadmap.md)** — the curriculum I teach, from image formation to multi-camera systems.
- **[OpenCV 5 Cheat Sheet (PDF)](/farshid/expert-coaching-resources/OpenCV_5_Cheat_Sheet_pirahansiah.pdf)** — the functions that come up in every session, on one page.
- **[Computer Vision Coaching Roadmap (PDF)](/farshid/products/cv-coaching-roadmap.pdf)** — the same learning path as a printable sheet.
