Software Engineering Coaches, Events, and Resources

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!

I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Statistics from UC Davis and 1 YOE distributed across AWS and Mercor. I've successfully positioned myself from a non-target school to land interviews at companies like Windsurf (Cognition), Palantir, Meta and offers at companies like Snowflake, AWS, Mercor, and top YC startups. Throughout this process, I've developed strategies on how to optimize your profile, land opportunities, and excel in interviews. I'm excited to pass on this knowledge to you!

I’ve spent the last 8+ years building software at some of the world’s leading tech companies—including Google, Amazon, Adobe, and STMicroelectronics—where I worked on distributed systems, large-scale infrastructure, and cutting-edge applications. Across these roles, problem-solving using data structures and algorithms has been the foundation of my success, helping me tackle real-world engineering challenges at scale. Alongside my industry career, I’ve been mentoring aspiring engineers for over 4 years through CodeHarmony.dev, the training platform I founded to help people sharpen their problem-solving mindset. I’ve guided hundreds of students and professionals to level up their coding skills, strengthen their fundamentals, and prepare for interviews at top product-based companies. My coaching is hands-on, practical, and designed to help you not just crack interviews but also grow into a stronger software engineer.

I'm a Software Development Engineer at Amazon and a Drexel grad with degrees in Economics, Data Science & Computer Science. At Vanguard, I pitched and secured executive funding directly from the CTO for an LLM middleware platform, then led a team to build an automated API spec generation system that processed 8,000+ repositories across the organization. My team also owned Kong API Gateway infrastructure handling 30 million requests daily for business critical systems. I won Vanguard's quantum computing hackathon solo against 20 PhD ML and AI teams. Beyond the technical stuff, I ran Vanguard's Drexel Co-op Mentorship program where I organized hackathons and professional development workshops for incoming engineers. I personally mentored 4 co-ops, all of whom received return offers from the company. I know what it takes to navigate big tech, stand out as an engineer, and turn your work into something leadership actually notices. I can help navigate prepping for FAANG interviews, trying to figure out how to make your contributions visible, or thinking through your next career move.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in the software engineering field, I currently serve as a Senior R&D Manager and Portfolio Lead Engineer at Stryker, where I lead innovative software projects. My journey began at EV Connect as a Software Engineer, and I hold a degree in Business Informatics from the University of California, Riverside. I have successfully coached numerous individuals, helping them navigate the complexities of software engineering careers and achieve their professional goals.

I've spent over 15 years writing code, architecting systems, and leading engineering teams across startups and enterprise environments. Today I'm a Senior Solution Architect at GlobalLogic (Hitachi Group), where I sit on the India Technology Office core team, own large-scale RFPs, and work on GenAI and agentic AI architecture for enterprise clients. Before this, I led engineering at Persistent Systems, scaling a team from 7 to 80 engineers. My technical range covers full-stack development, backend and cloud architecture, multi-agent AI systems, and physical AI prototyping. I hold a PhD focused on deep learning and signal processing, an MS from BITS Pilani, and a BE in Computer Engineering. I coach on the parts of a software engineering career that most mentors skip: how to architect for scale, how to prep for high-stakes technical interviews without memorizing answers, how to move from engineer to architect, and how to build a technical reputation that opens doors. I've done this for myself across multiple senior roles, and I bring the same rigor to helping you do it.

I have over 10 years of experience building and maintaining production-level systems. I worked in many industries, from fintech to cloud infrastructure.
