ML + Software Engineer | AI Unicorn | Ex-Microsoft | CMU CS | Ace Interview

Machine Learning Engineer (Forward Deployed) at Modal (series C unicorn AI infra startup). Ex Software Engineer at Microsoft with a CS degree from Carnegie Mellon (#1 CS school in the US), where I specialized in Machine Learning and Security & Privacy. I used to work at Microsoft and have coached students to get into Google, Apple, Microsoft, TikTok, and top AI research labs. Secured final/penultimate rounds at OpenAI, Cursor, Scale AI, Stripe, Apple, NVIDIA, SIG, and Reflection AI; some were discontinued due to better offers elsewhere. Also got tech job offers in early-stage (series A-C) startups, Big 4 consulting, financials, and numerous government defense contractors. Published as first-author at a top-tier ACM conference. As a Head Teaching Assistant for CMU's flagship computer security course, I've guided over 120 students to technical and academic success, and I've successfully coached 5 individuals to excel in their software engineering careers (undergrads + graduate students) and make 6+ figures. I've reviewed hundreds of resumes and know the key to building your professional branding. Whether you're looking to break into the tech industry or advance your current skills, I'm here to help you navigate the path to success. Let's connect and create a tailored plan to achieve your goals!
