About

I’ve worked as a Software Engineer at Two Sigma and held Senior Software Engineer roles at Roblox, DoorDash, and Addepar, giving me experience across quantitative finance, gaming, and consumer technology. Alongside my engineering career, I’ve mentored students and helped candidates prepare for technical interviews. My coaching focuses on coding, system design, and communicating your experience effectively. We’ll work on breaking down unfamiliar problems, explaining your reasoning clearly, evaluating design trade-offs, and articulating the impact of your past work. I tailor each session to your background, target roles, and preparation timeline, combining realistic practice with direct, actionable feedback. Whether you’re pursuing your first software engineering role or preparing for a senior-level opportunity, I’ll help you identify where to focus, build a practical preparation plan, and present your skills and experience with confidence.
