About

Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience in 4 big tech companies. I started my journey as someone who used to look up to people in the industry, trying to figure out how to break in — and now I’m on the other side, ready to mentor others do the same.

I focus on practical, personalized mentorship — whether it’s preparing for interviews, improving technical skills, or building the confidence to grow in your career. Beyond coding, I care deeply about communication, mindset, and long-term growth which is a key to success for Software Engineers. My goal is not just to help you get into tech, but to help you thrive in it.

What mentees say

2 out of 5 stars

Ahmed's intro call was genuinely strong, he clearly has real experience and gave thoughtful advice on breaking into Google-level roles, DSA prep direction, and how to position my background. Based on that call alone, I signed up for the Standard plan. Unfortunately, communication fell off after that. He promised to share DSA resources the same day I subscribed, and after a week with no follow-through, a polite check-in message, and no response despite his profile showing recent activity, I had to request a refund through support. I understand he's busy with his day job at Google, but a paid monthly plan needs at least baseline consistency to be worth it, even a quick heads-up that he was swamped would have made a big difference. If you're considering Ahmed, the knowledge and quality of advice are there. Just go in aware that follow-through after the initial call may be inconsistent.

Ahmed was very helpful with my technical interview preparation. He explained his thought process clearly and showed me how to approach coding problems step by step. I especially appreciated his focus on clean code, edge cases, scalability, and how to think about production-level solutions during an interview. His feedback was practical and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend Ahmed for coding interview preparation.

Very good teacher, I like the fact that he really makes sure I understand the topic, regardless of how much time or effort it takes before we move forward.
