About
From a new grad SDE promoted to an L6 engineering manager at Amazon within 4.5 years. I can provide guidance on advancing your career as an SDE, making a successful transition into a management role, effectively managing engineering teams, and making informed trade-offs when it comes to tech decisions. Plus, I have extensive experience in interviewing candidates at various levels, from junior to senior engineers, and I'm more than happy to help with interview preparation such as behavior questions and system design.
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
I came to Kevin preparing for a Software Development Manager loop at Amazon Robotics. Kevin worked with me on two things. First, structuring my leadership stories with the STAR method, which changed how I present my own contribution versus my team’s. Second, system design, where his guidance was practical rather than theoretical and focused on the parts interviewers actually probe. He was also flexible when my schedule moved around, which happened more than once. I cleared the first round at Amazon Robotics on the strength of that preparation, and the same work carried directly into the process where I accepted an offer. If you are preparing for a senior engineering leadership loop, Kevin knows what the bar actually looks like.

Kevin was great to speak with. He answered all my questions clearly and took the time to walk me through things in a way that made them click. I came away with a much better understanding and more confidence moving forward. Would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and easy to communicate with.
