About

👋 Hi! I’m Kuai, currently a Director of Engineering at a Fintech unicorn. With experience at Two Sigma, Google, and Citadel, I have a decade-long track record in tech and finance. I mentor both software engineers and managers, helping them navigate and succeed in their engineering careers.

My mentees have received offers from 30+ companies, including trading firms (Citadel, Jump Trading, HRT, Two Sigma, AQR), big tech (Meta, Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, Uber), and startups (Stripe, Databricks, CloudKitchens).

I started working with Kuai because I wasn’t sure what direction to take in my career. He helped me figure out what to focus on and gave clear, practical advice on everything from interviews to planning ahead. It’s been super helpful talking things through with someone who’s been at top companies and knows the industry well. I feel more confident and focused now. Highly recommend if you’re looking for guidance in your tech career.

I wish I had Kuai as a mentor earlier. He completely opened my eyes to how promotions and other internal processes work within a tech company, and made me to consider perspectives beyond my own. He changed the way I look at communication with others - both at work and in life.

Kuai is an outstanding mentor with tremendous knowledge, experience, and dedication. As a new graduate, I was initially struggling both to land interviews and to perform well during them. However, with Kuai’s guidance, encouragement, and insightful advice, I was able not only to significantly improve my interview skills but also to eventually land a job at Google. Beyond technical preparation, Kuai also shared valuable advice on workplace communication, collaboration with colleagues, and how to navigate the professional environment as a new hire. His mentorship has been instrumental in boosting my confidence and preparing me for success, not just during the interview process but also in my early career journey. I am truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him as a mentor to anyone seeking to grow both professionally and personally.
