Shiv’s Software Engineering Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
Hey there! I’m an SWE II at Amazon who went from a December 2024 new grad out of a non-target CS school to earning a promotion to SWE II in 9 months, leading projects, mentoring an intern to a return offer, all by 22 years old. I now lead a high-impact service that reaches hundreds of millions of customers worldwide and work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to drive results. I love coaching software engineers who want to accelerate their careers, whether you're aiming for your first promo, trying to stand out on your team, or building a long-term path toward top-tier roles. I can also help with interview prep, networking strategies, and personal branding so you can grow with clarity and confidence.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I wouldn’t be where I am without the incredible mentors I had in college. Coming from a non-target school, I didn’t have a clear roadmap, but a few key mentors helped me build the right network, focus on the technical skills that actually matter, and avoid the common traps that hold back talented engineers. Now I want to pay that forward. I know how hard it can be to break into top tech or get promoted when you're figuring it out alone, and I love helping others shortcut that journey with the kind of support I was lucky to receive.
