Software Engineering Coaches

During my college, I was able to secure internships at Meta, Amazon, Capital One, Lockheed Martin and be in the interview pipeline for a lot of other big tech companies. I received return offer recommendations wherever I interned and will be joining Amazon as an SDE soon. I use my experience of applying to these big tech companies in order to give tips to other students about their application, resume and interviews.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in software engineering and machine learning, I bring a wealth of experience from my roles at Twitch, where I worked on both the Content Relevance and Community Product Engineering teams. My journey includes leading product strategy and engineering initiatives at TestParty AI, where I drove significant growth and product-market fit. As a former teaching assistant at the University of Virginia and Darden School of Business, I've guided over 1,000 students in mastering software development and product management principles. Whether you're looking to break into the tech industry or advance your skills, I'm here to help you navigate your career path with personalized coaching. Let's connect and chart your course to success!

I’m currently a Software Engineer at Meta, where I work on building and scaling products that impact millions of users. Before that, I completed my Master’s in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where I gained a strong foundation in algorithms, systems, and large-scale software engineering. I also interned as an SDE at Amazon, which gave me hands-on experience solving challenging engineering problems in a fast-paced environment. Having gone through the rigorous technical interview processes at top tech companies, I know what it takes to succeed. I can help you build not just problem-solving skills, but also the confidence and structured approach needed to excel in coding, system design, and behavioral interviews. My goal as a coach is to share practical insights, strategies, and personalized feedback to help you land your next opportunity in software engineering.

With 12+ years of experience across a variety of company sizes, I am well aware of the needs of a company as well as the general interviewing techniques and tactics that can get you hired.

I mentored my previous students refine their resume to pass the recruiter resume screens, prepare for technical interviews with coding interview preparation. I provide a refined and catered approach towards increasing success in securing multiple internship offers and full-time job offers after graduation. I offer mock interviews to simulate both behavioral and coding interviews. This is the strongest form of preparation that someone could receive ahead of a real coding interview. My Software Engineering services are not just limited to strategizing in the job search and preparing for interviews. As a Data Structures TA at UC Berkeley for 4 semesters, I am able to strengthen your foundational coding skills as needed to make you feel strong before proper coding interview preparation. My previous students have received job offers from FAANG+/Fortune 500 companies (Amazon, Pinterest, Roblox, Quizlet, Atlassian, Palantir, TikTok, Tesla, Goldman Sachs, and more) I've also helped clients achieve 10-20% salary increases through my approach to salary negotiation techniques.

Being in the software engineering space for over 20 years across multiple roles and organizations of different shapes and sizes has taught me a thing or two about how to build teams and deliver some incredible projects. I specialize in leading product and platform engineering teams at mid to late stage + enterprise organizations. I have been a people leader now for over 10 years and have had the fortune or working with some really good folks; some who achieved great results and some who didn't that gave me an opportunity to find ways to unlock their careers. Additionally, I am an advisor to VCs, early strange start ups and consult on various expert consulting platforms like Tegus. How can I help you? Or what can I coach you on? Really anything in people leadership like how to promote platform engineers, how to write strategy documents? How do I get promoted to Director? What should an interview panel look like for an infra engineer? How to resolve conflicts at work? How to read a room? How to run an effective meeting? How to continue to remain technical as a people leader? You have a need, feel free to ask and we can go from there.
