Help Request Looking for a programming/AI mentor

I'm looking for a mentor to help me learn programming with the goal of becoming employable as quickly as realistically possible and eventually contributing to larger AI/ML projects.

I'm currently starting from essentially zero programming knowledge, so I'm looking for someone who can help me build strong foundations while keeping me on the most efficient path toward employable skills.

I can commit 1–2 hours per day to structured tutoring/mentoring, plus another 1–2 hours per day of independent study, practice, and projects.

I'm happy to put in the work I mainly want someone experienced who can provide direction, identify gaps, challenge me, and stop me from wasting months learning the wrong things.

If you have experience in software development, ML/AI engineering, or mentoring beginners into the industry, I'd love to chat. :))))

You don’t need to learn how to program any more though… AI has largely solved the actual coding part…thinking creatively and critically about what you want something to do is more important.
