Before MentorX, my résumé looked like a list of class projects. The Industry‑Oriented AI Project package paired me with a Meta ML mentor who guided me through building a recommendation model on a real e‑commerce dataset. I learned feature engineering, A/B testing, and how to quantify business impact—then packaged everything into a public GitHub repo and case study. Those deliverables became the centerpiece of my portfolio and helped me secure a Machine Learning Engineer internship at Amazon.
