About

I am Engineering Manager with about seven years of experience in leadership roles and about 15 years of experience in Software Development. I have worked in different domains and technologies including retail, banking and productivity tools. Currently, I work for Microsoft building Microsoft Whiteboard in the Office Product Group. As a software engineer I have more than 15 years of experience in Java and have worked on Ruby, Typescript and React in recent years. Career growth, coaching and mentorship are my passions. I can help you refine your profile, excel your next Tech interview and land your dream job. We will work together from resume feedback to mock interviews to help you excel.
I can also help you achieve your full potential, work towards your next promotion, to understand the challenges in the leadership track and how to manage them. I mentor EMs, Software Engineers and students looking for a career in tech!

Dhurv is an exceptional mentor. He has tons of experience and at the same time, lot of empathy. This combo worked really well for me. He helped me navigate the coding challenges well and gave a good mental model to continue to improve upon this skill. Prior to this, competitive coding always seemed like something I can never do. With his help, I was able to break this barrier. Dhurv also has been exceptionally generous with his time and availability, despite having a busy schedule. I would highly recommend Dhruv as a mentor if you are looking to progress in your career.

Mr. Dhruv has been an exceptional mentor. Over the course of my mentorship with him, it was evident that he dedicates significantly more time and effort to his mentees—easily 50% more than what is typically expected. When I started, I lacked confidence and experience, especially in System Design interviews. Over the last three months, Mr. Dhruv not only identified my strengths and areas for improvement but also helped me build confidence through mock interviews and progress tracking. His structured approach, constant encouragement, and actionable feedback were instrumental in my growth. Thanks to his invaluable guidance, I was able to secure a position at FAANG. I highly recommend him to anyone preparing for interviews, struggling with confidence, or navigating job search challenges. His mentorship goes beyond technical skills; it’s about empowering his mentees to succeed.

Dhruv is probably an ideal mentor, he has genuine interest in mentoring, takes time to understand what you are looking for, spends time to come up with right approach to reach the end goal. It is apparent that he has tech expertise; what amazed me is the time he spends for you... in all the sessions I had, he spent extra time to completely go through the inputs/feedback he has to offer (or listen to you), instead of just wrapping the call when the clock ticks! I highly recommend Dhruv to anyone looking for mentorship, especially if someone is looking for a genuine mentor who really want to help their mentees. PS: Dhruv is very professional, interacts through MentorCruise only, and he never asked me to write this review.
