Software Engineering Coaches, Events, and Resources

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.

My path from theatre design to MS in Computer Science (Georgia Tech), through Staff Platform Engineer and Software Architecture roles to CTO, taught me that technical excellence and developer happiness are the same goal. As a career switcher who's made the Staff+ transition myself, I understand both the wandering path and what it really takes to level up—it's not just about code, it's about creating environments where engineers thrive. I bring a unique blend of technical depth and human insight: interviewing legends like Kernighan, Beck, and Fowler through Book Overflow while delivering real results—23% cycle time reduction, 2-hour builds to 20 minutes, monthly releases to daily deployments. Whether you're preparing for Staff+, implementing platform engineering, or transforming developer experience, I'll help you stop fighting your tools and start loving your work again. You'll ship faster, stress less, and finally have the influence to fix what's been driving you crazy—because I've been there, fixed it, and know exactly how to get you there too.

I can also help with interview prep, networking strategies, and personal branding so you can grow with clarity and confidence.

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.
