About

I work as a senior staff software engineer. Previously, I worked at Twitter, Amazon, and other FAANG companies. I graduated in Computer Science from an Ivy League university.

I have mentored numerous people who wanted to further their careers in tech. I have helped them become stronger programmers, such as teaching them algorithms, data structures, and system design. I have gotten them ready for job interviews, and most were able to receive a job offer (Amazon, Doordash, Plaid, Airbnb). I also help fix their resumes so that they can get their foot in the door easily!
