Summary
Sarah Mestiri is a career strategist, data scientist, and former software engineer with nine years of experience helping women expats in tech and science design careers that fit their strengths and values. She combines hands-on ML and engineering experienceโfrom building recommender systems and OCR proofs-of-concept to backend work in Java and AngularJSโwith a structured, strengths-based coaching methodology that reduces job-search stress and avoids mass applications.
