How I moved from near-depression to building an AI solution for the depressed in 3+ years
When I landed in the UK 3 years ago straight into Isolation, within 10 days I almost got depressed,
Not because I lacked skills or education.
But because life as I knew it had paused and I had to start all over.
I was wrapping up my Ph.D., trading crypto successfully and life seemed โfine.โ
I had promised my wife Iโd support her dreams, even if it meant relocating, so we did.
But hereโs the reality most people donโt talk about:
๐ Relocation isnโt always smooth. Many end up stuck, frustrated, even regretting it. Abroad, joblessness can strip you bare.
For me, that meant starting over as a support worker, juggling night shifts while figuring out how to break into the UK job market.
Fast forward 3 years:
I now serve as Head of Data Science & AI, mentoring professionals across the UK and watching mentees land interviews and roles weekly.
This is what made the difference
๐ Seeking mentorship from those who walked the path before me
๐ Adapting quickly to the market
๐ Building proof, not just certificates
๐ Doubling down on learning (and teaching)
๐ Trusting God and not walking alone
My advice: Get the right support. Get the roadmap. Youโll save yourself years of struggle and regret.
For anyone in the UK who wants to build skills, gain experience and land a role in this last quarter of the year,
Iโm opening a special discounted birthday opportunity to join the Accelerator London Center For Analytics today. Reach out now.
PS: This week is my birthday ๐. If my story has inspired you or helped you in anyway, please say a word of prayer for me โ it means more than you know.
