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 have previously held offers from Amazon and Meta and have interviewed with Google among the FAANG companies. With my experience, I can help you take the right steps to crack you next tech interview!
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!

Coming from a background as a startup founder and having worked in small companies for close to 9 years, I was aiming to transition into a senior role in Big Tech. Dhruv played a key role in helping me crack my interviews and land multiple offers. His approach is very structured and personalized. He takes the time to understand your strengths and weaknesses and builds a preparation plan around them. With his extensive big tech experience, he has a deep understanding of what top companies look for in candidates. His mock interviews and feedback were incredibly valuable and closely reflected real interview experiences. Beyond that, Dhruv is professional, approachable, and motivating throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for focused and effective interview preparation.
