About

I'm a former FAANG engineer with a decade of experience in backend engineering, distributed systems, and machine learning. Currently, I work at a fast-paced startup in the NYC area, where I’ve continued to deepen my understanding of scalable systems and real-world software architecture.

I’m passionate about helping engineers level up in their careers, whether you're preparing for your next big role, looking to sharpen your system design thinking, or just want to build more impactful software.

Here’s how I can support you:
• System Design
• Software Engineering Interview Process/Expectations
• Resume/CV Review
• Mock Interview Preparation
• Data Structures and Algorithms
• Full-Stack Projects

Brandon is super helpful, attentive, and friendly! He's got great industry knowledge to share (given his experience and accolades) and works super efficiently when giving feedback and providing constructive criticism. I find his tips and interview preparation strategies very effective.

We'll meet for a quick call (usually under 30 minutes) where we:
- Break the ice and introduce ourselves
- Discuss your goals and how I can support you
- Coordinate logistics like time zones, meeting frequency, and communication methods
