Olivia Ifrim

Hi! I'm Olivia, a Senior Staff Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in the software industry 👋

I built my career from the ground up with nothing but determination, a willingness to learn, and a lot of hard work. While I firmly believe there are no shortcuts to success, having the right mentors is the closest thing to one.

I’ve worked at leading tech companies like Microsoft, Twitter, and Amazon, as well as in startups of all sizes, where I’ve built products from zero to one and helped scale them to success. I have extensive experience in backend systems, end-to-end system design, data structures and algorithms, scaling, and adopting a product engineering mindset.

With a strong background in technical interviews, I’ve both conducted and passed interviews at companies with less than a 1% success rate. Over my career, I’ve mentored more than 100 engineers, many of whom have earned multiple promotions and accelerated their careers with targeted, actionable advice.

I’m approachable, passionate about helping others, and always happy to share insights. If you need guidance, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help!
