Software Engineering

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 a large medical technology company, 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've coached people on their software engineering careers for years, and Leland is where I'm doing it formally. Whether you're looking to break into the industry or advance your current career, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and chart your path to success in the tech world!

Welcome to my profile! With a Master's degree from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor's from UC San Diego, I bring a strong academic foundation to my coaching. As a Senior Software Engineer at AWS and a former Senior Full-Stack Engineer at Illumina, I have over 9 years of industry experience. I've successfully coached 18 individuals, helping them navigate the competitive landscape of software engineering careers. Whether you're looking to refine your coding skills, ace technical interviews, or transition into a new role, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and chart your path to success in the tech industry!

I got a music degree in 2009, switched careers multiple times and landed in IT in 2015, and eventually climbed to Tech Lead in 2025. I am well liked and well respected in all my tech jobs, and have not failed a single job interview since 2021. Like everybody else, it's a mix of hard work and luck, but if I can do it, anyone can! What sets me apart as your coach is first, I generally don't give advices but will ask clarifying questions to guide you through uncertainties so you can forge your own path; second, I look at the big picture, the overall wellbeing. For example, I will help identifying your life goals and use them as your "North Star" and your motivation. I will discuss personal finance and investments to reach financial freedom quicker. I will recommend podcasts and books based on your interests to help you acquire knowledge and forge the right mindset and attitude. Let's chat!

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.

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.
