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!

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

Dhruv has been an extraordinary mentor and guide during one of the most crucial phases of my career. He brings not just deep technical expertise, but also empathy, clarity, and structure that truly set him apart. Beyond just interview prep, Dhruv played a pivotal role in helping me shift my mindset from self-doubt and hesitation to owning my story and leading with impact. His insights on how to communicate my experiences, handle trade-offs in design discussions, and bring leadership presence into answers were absolute game-changers for me. Despite his packed schedule, he always showed up with full presence, generosity, and encouragement. I never felt like "just another mentee" he truly invests in your growth. Thanks to his mentorship, I now feel equipped not just to succeed in interviews, but to thrive in senior engineering roles. I wholeheartedly recommend Dhruv to anyone looking to level up in their tech career especially if you're seeking clarity, confidence, and a mentor who truly cares.

Dhruv is always really thorough and makes sure to give the full picture. He’s a great listener and takes the time to fully understand my situation before giving advice. For technical problems, he even walked me through the issue itself and how I could explain or approach it in an interview. He’s been super helpful not just technically, but also with career guidance. I also really appreciate that he volunteers to stay over time.
