SDE 2 · Uber

Software Engineer and mentor with experience at leading FAANG companies including Microsoft, Amazon and Uber, with a strong focus on helping early-career professionals break into top-tier technology roles. Beyond my engineering career, I actively mentor aspiring software engineers across Data Structures & Algorithms, System Design, Machine Coding, interview strategy, and behavioral preparation.I have worked closely with early-career professionals to identify skill gaps, build structured preparation plans, conduct realistic mock interviews, and provide actionable feedback tailored to their individual goals. My mentoring approach emphasizes not just solving interview questions, but developing the problem-solving mindset, communication skills, and engineering fundamentals required to succeed in competitive technical interviews. This hands-on approach has produced a proven track record, with multiple mentees successfully clearing interviews and securing offers at Big Tech and other leading technology companies.Professionally, I bring experience building and scaling software products at Microsoft and currently work as an SDE2 at Uber, giving me firsthand exposure to the engineering practices, technical expectations, and interview standards of some of the world's most competitive technology organizations. I leverage this industry experience to make my mentoring practical, structured, and closely aligned with real-world expectations.I am particularly passionate about democratizing access to high-quality technical mentorship for engineers early in their careers and helping them navigate the often overwhelming journey from preparation to a successful Big Tech offer.
