I'm a Software Development Engineer at Google and a deferred MBA admit to Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. I’ve previously interned at JPMorgan Chase and Capital One, where I built large-scale tools for system optimization and operational efficiency. Across these experiences, I've not only navigated the recruiting process at top tech firms, but also developed a deep understanding of what it takes to stand out—from crafting standout resumes to excelling in behavioral and technical interviews.

About Abhi
I'm currently a Software Engineer at Google and a future MBA candidate at the Kellogg School of Management. Growing up, I had a love for math, problem solving, and technology, which naturally led me to the Computer Science field. My journey in this field has been a constant process of learning, with successes and failures along the way. I've learned that these failures are opportunities to redefine my process and get me closer to my goals. Throughout the process, I've gained invaluable lessons such as the skills it takes to succeed, what it takes to stand out, and how to clearly tell your story. Additionally, I've learned the ins-and-outs of the tech industry, gaining unique experience and knowledge that can only be gained by someone who has dipped their feet in the water. On paper, you can see my prior experience at top companies like JPMorgan Chase, Capital One, and Amazon, but there were many setbacks behind the scenes that aren't illuminated. As a coach, I want to provide real and unfiltered advice. Whether you're preparing for interviews, refining your resume, or figuring out your next move, I'll demonstrate what it really takes to land your dream role.
Why do I coach?
Coaching was without a doubt one of the biggest determiners for my success. Earlier in my college career, I was skeptical of the value of coaching and other online resources. However, I've come to understand that there is a lot of knowledge which is uniquely found from such resources. When I wasn't getting the call-backs I wanted to, I had to redefine my process and figure out how to fill-in the gaps. This led me to platforms such as Leland where I could gain that professional mentorship to put the pieces together. As a result of coaching, I was able to see significant improvement in my recruiting prospects. I want to help others whose shoes I was once in and pass forward the lessons I've learned. As a coach, I will be realistic and pragmatic, helping you understand the areas you can grow in and what it takes to achieve your goals.
