About
I'm Raghav, an Engineering Lead at Airbnb (formerly Microsoft, Paytm, MakeMyTrip and Google) with 13+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and AI-powered products used by millions of users. I've also founded a startup and was a Google Summer of Code winner, giving me experience across both enterprise engineering and fast-moving startups.
I mentor software engineers, founders, and technical leaders who want to accelerate their careers or build production-ready AI applications. Whether you're preparing for senior engineering roles, designing scalable systems, or building AI agents with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, MCP, and modern LLM frameworks, I'll help you move from ideas to working solutions.
My mentoring is highly hands-on. We'll work on your actual projects, review architecture decisions, debug challenges together, and create a practical roadmap tailored to your goals. My objective isn't just to answer questions—it's to help you become confident enough to solve similar problems independently.
If you're looking for a long-term mentor, an AI architecture partner, or someone to accelerate your engineering growth, I'd be happy to help. Book an intro session, and we'll discuss your goals and create a plan together.
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
I reached out to Raghav to prepare for FAANG interviews, specifically focusing on DSA and system design. He has an excellent understanding of these interview processes and a very strong technical background. Our sessions are consistently well-structured, serious, and highly goal-oriented. For anyone looking to level up and prepare for FAANG-level interviews, I would definitely recommend Raghav. In fact, I’m still working with him
