Usually NDA have ~2 years expiration dates and since your NDA did not expired yet, I assume you are fairly new to this field.

My previous company is outsourcing company and there were more strict rules. As far as I remember my NDA expires after 3 years from the day I quit. So, I should wait until summer 2019. I can tell you that I worked with points of interest like problem, face detection like problem, searching for anomalies, detection task. I'm using opencv, tensorflow, nvidia digits, catboost, xgboost and couple of other tools including statistics. I organized Data Science seminar for students to prepare them for Kaggle. Also I have 15 years experience in training students for programming contests, if it means something for you.

Usually working in companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo (or Yandex or Mail.ru in Russia) serves as an indication of real experience in data science.

I prefer to work with interesting projects, not for famous companies. I had 3 job offers from Yandex, including autonomous driving, but I decided to work with ukit AI

But two of my students were hired by Yandex couple of month ago.

Your other colleague, who won WWDC Scholarship sounds very promising. Would she be able to share her award wining project with us? She is surely listed as a winner somewhere? I assume it's not under NDA since it was submitted to public contest and won award?

Let me introduce Yana Valieva. Article about scholarship. You can see her project for Apple contest here.

Normal ML course (I mean offline course of Google or Microsoft level) lasts for a couple of years at least and only after that professional can expect to become somewhat capable.

In Russia we have School of data analysis. It lasts for two years and demands from students not to work full time. I can't afford it, because I have to work

, but I have an expertise in real projects. Sorry, but I can't point to them as I said.
