About

I am a senior software engineer with 15 years of experience working at AWS. I have been a founding member of three publicly launched products at AWS.

I am passionate about building products iteratively at scale with a high bar on operations. My expertise is building distributed systems, APIs using micro services built on AWS - Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, CloudWatch to name a few. I have experience building both customer facing services and large scale backend infrastructure services using Java.

Along with building products, I am passionate about mentoring. I have mentored 15+ engineers at Amazon from SDE 1s to 3s helping them to get promoted at various levels.

I can help answers questions regarding how to influence more, code with higher quality, do operations with higher quality and how to grow your career while doing all this.

I had the privilege of working with Hakim in a series of mock interviews, and I can confidently say that his mentorship has been invaluable in my preparation. Hakim brought a high level of professionalism to each session and provided me with detailed feedback that was both constructive and actionable. One of the standout aspects of his mentorship was his ability to clearly point out areas where I needed improvement. Whether it was technical knowledge, communication skills, or problem-solving approaches, Hakim never hesitated to give precise and honest feedback. This helped me gain a clear understanding of my weaknesses, which I was then able to focus on and improve. A key highlight of our sessions was system design. Hakim not only guided me through the fundamentals of designing scalable and efficient systems but also offered insights from the interviewer’s perspective. He explained what interviewers are looking for beyond just the technical solution — the clarity of thought, the ability to articulate trade-offs, and how to approach ambiguity. This feedback was eye-opening and helped me elevate my approach to system design questions, making me feel more confident in this area. Hakim’s feedback wasn’t just focused on what was wrong but also on what I was doing well. He encouraged me to continue strengthening those areas while offering practical suggestions for continuous improvement. Overall, I feel much more prepared and confident for real-world interviews after working with Hakim. I highly recommend him as a mentor for anyone looking to sharpen their interview skills, particularly in technical and system design interviews. Thank you, Hakim, for your guidance and dedication!
