Do you work for corporates full-time?

No, I do not. I act as a consultant for learners and audiences all around the world, timeline agnostic, for those who want to learn Generative AI, Quantum Computing, or stay up to date with the latest research.

Do you offer country-wise parity pricing for your services?

Absolutely! I offer 25% off for Tier 2 countries and 50% off for Tier 3 countries according to the UN country-wise income classification. Contact me on LinkedIn for further price reductions; I understand that developing nations face severe financial constraints.

Is there a discount for startups?

Yes. In addition to the parity pricing, I offer 50% off to startups who have not yet received funding, and on a case-by-case basis, I am open to payments in equity as well, but in that case, the 50% off rule does not apply.

Are you open to long-term contracts?

Yes. For continued consulting, I am willing to work for companies for six months or even more, depending upon the payment and the mutual benefit to both parties. I still wish to remain a consultant only, however.

Are you open to development work?

Right now, no. I am open to consulting, training, mentoring, and creating high-ticket content, but no development work - only high-ticket writing work.

Are you open to remote training?

Yes, remote training in Generative AI or Quantum Computing is one of my services. Furthermore, I am happy to reduce my current prices for clients in developing countries.

You have another profile site at thomascherickal.github.io. Why two sites?

Actually, thomascherickal.com is the canonical site for my links and my new articles. The thomascherickal.github.io is my business profile, with prices, services lists, and contact details. The two sites serve two different purposes.

All images in this article were AI-generated by NightCafe Studio for free: "Rust can't do real OOP. It has no classes." "You'll have to rewire your entire brain to use it."

Rust Doesn’t Do Inheritance. That’s Exactly Why It Wins at Game Engines—and Robotics and AI.

Object-oriented game engines are not wrong. They are just old. The inheritance tree that saved your last project could be the very thing that kills your next one. And there is a language quietly rewriting the rules of what a game engine can even be—and most of the industry is still looking the other way. … Continue reading Rust Doesn’t Do Inheritance.
