👋 Hi, I'm Ingrid! I am a Senior Software Engineer at Apple (current) and ex-Amazon with a Master's from Columbia University. While I have a strong academic foundation in CS now, my path wasn't a straight line - I made the tough decision to pivot from Biomedical Engineering to CS during my junior year of college. I know firsthand the anxiety of "sunk costs" (wasting 3 years of credits!) and the grit required to change trajectory and catch up. Whether you are a student contemplating a major switch, a new grad aiming for your first FAANG offer, or an engineer seeking a promotion, I use my nearly 10 years of experience to help you make strategic career moves and land top-tier roles.

I can help you:
• 🎯 Strategic Pivots: Whether it's changing majors or changing industries, I help you plan the path to minimize risk and maximize outcome.
• 📝 Crack the Interview: Master the Resume, System Design, and the tricky Behavioral questions (I know the Amazon & Apple bars inside out).
• 🚀 Level Up: Navigate the complex path from Junior to Senior Engineer if you feel stuck.

My Approach
I believe in "constructive directness." We will work together to create a customized roadmap, polish your materials until they shine, and use my "Dual Big Tech" perspective to unblock your path. I am also particularly passionate about mentoring women in tech and international students navigating the complexities of the US corporate landscape.
