About

Hi, I’m Fatima 👋 — a Senior Software Engineer (backend) at Yelp, international tech speaker, and hands-on mentor with a passion for helping others succeed in today’s brutal tech market.

I’ve been on both sides of the interview table — as a candidate navigating the highly competitive 2025 job market, and as an interviewer helping others land offers. Along the way, I’ve mentored hundreds of engineers on everything from cracking technical interviews and negotiating offers, to building confidence in public speaking and overcoming imposter syndrome. My approach is simple: personalized, practical, and human.

A bit about me:

I earned my Bachelor’s in Mathematics from the University of Waterloo and a Master’s in Data Science from HEC Montréal.

I’ve worked across trading, semiconductors, and tech — starting at DRW before joining Yelp in 2021.

As a speaker, I’ve delivered 100+ talks at hackathons, conferences, and keynotes across North America and Europe (NDC Copenhagen, SCALE, Women of Silicon Roundabout, Tapia, Agile, cdCon+GitOpsCon, and more). My sessions are known for being real, interactive, and packed with hands-on strategies that attendees can apply immediately.

Why work with me? Because I believe knowledge should never be gatekept. Whether you’re preparing for a high-stakes technical interview, navigating career progression, or learning to find your voice on stage, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build the confidence, skills, and strategy to stand out.

Let's have a chat and work together to reach your tech career goals!

5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely adored Fatima's hands-on mentorship - she helped to set me up for success and her flexibility with meeting scheduling motivated me to actually accomplish the day to day tasks I needed to get done! She persisted with me over the course of almost a year and never stopped believing I could do it. Reaching my end goal could not have been done without her help, and I couldn't have asked for a better mentor 💖

Fatima is an excellent mentor and I'm so glad I've had the privilege of learning from her for the past ~5 months. The interview process for finding a new software engineering role is incredibly stressful, but she has helped to ground me and keep me focused on the actions I can take to truly build up my skills. She shares excellent resources and draws from her own personal experiences (being a motivational speaker, studying for interviews herself) to be the best mentor I could ask for! I look forward to continuing to work with her until I get my dream job 🤞

Over the past two months, Fatima has been an incredible mentor, helping me build my interview skills with confidence and clarity. Her actionable feedback and consistent guidance have been key in overcoming self-doubt and improving my interview performance. Fatima's deep knowledge of the latest resources, tracking progress spreadsheets, and her mindset strategies have been game-changers, leading to some breakthrough moments in my journey. She is kind, patient, and supportive, especially during moments of frustration and rejection, encouraging me to keep moving forward with optimism. If I had the chance, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose her as my mentor again.
